Learning how to incorporate little extra hi hat stuff like this into grooves has taken all the straightforward beats I've been playing and made them so much more interesting. Good stuff, Gabe!!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

That's so awesome Mike! Glad to hear it!

[@gordianystudios7709]

Aside from the already great information he gives in his videos about drumming, I like the editing, clever camera tricks and the graphics used in the videos. Great work! 👍👍

So glad you enjoyed it!! We have amazing editors over here.

I’ve been playing drums for about 40 years. I’ve done that in the past without thinking about it, just to add something. Great someone coined it in a lesson!

[@manianeusz8654]

Never really thought about it. Way cooler than just straight doubles on a hi hat. Gonna try it for sure!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Heck yes!

[@daveyleeriot]

Dude...this gotta be the most comprehensive drum lesson I've ever seen. You explained it well. And you were so kind to put the tempo & notes on screen, making my practice much easier🤘👊

I totally agree! One of my favorite parts of the kit for sure!

[@MrRLRRLL]

It’s cool that you’re sharing this…I’ve been playing that for many years…I do the same on the ride cymbal and crash cymbals 👍

[@nealsausen4651]

I Learned this technique In 1971/72from FRED GRUBER when I was taking lessons from him He used the Frank Higgins 92 rock ‘n’ roll Beats book and had me doing this, something very similar to this I still use this technique to this day this is a great video this technique really works it’s been around a while but it really works! There’s also some Great high hat techniques In the Gene Krupa book Using Sticks!

[@lonexcrasher1115]

This just helped me in fast grooves, fills and in beats

[@grachisol8236]

Hi hat flares and tricks are so fun

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I totally agree!

[@lonexcrasher1115]

I just love your drumming

[@charleshouse5541]

I feel as though I'm in high-school band class. 51 years and now as a church drummer, any and everything extra helps. Gospels a hard task master at times with deep soulful critics🤣. Ill use this again since I hadn't thought about it in years...THANKS! 🙏

[@BlaacHollow]

I have utilized this technique before but I use it more when I am on my ride cymbal and throwing the "flick" gives it a more noticeable nuance. Even better if you can do the "flick" as an open hat followed by a close with the left foot.

[@eastonotsae]

Could you make a video on how to set up drum mics for studio purposes and live performances?

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Potentially!

[@Jarqueivies]

Yes, I'd love that!

[@alvinabbey5552]

thank you for that...I haven't played for the past 3 years and just had to go down to the kit and try it. makes much more sense than the way I had done it all my life!

[@ScottAR7]

I just heard about this from an old Larnell Lewis Drumeo video. Sick technique, thanks for explaining it!

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

You bet!

[@kermitdafrogisback]

Always another great video. Keep up the great work. Very informative, and helpful. Make sure you all get on the waiting list everyone. Gabe is an amazing teacher. You can not go wrong. This is my 2nd year in the Academy, and I love it. Make sure you also get Gabes signature sticks. They feel great in the hands.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Thanks so much for the kind words as always! It's so amazing to see you're progress in DBO Academy! And I'm so glad you like the sticks!

Hi Hat is the most underrated part of a drum kit.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

I hear that!

[@madisoncomfort3340]

at first i was like oh yes a flick, alg, then the beats he made using it were actually sick.

[@SteveBMarksJr]

Good god. That's game-changning.

[@Joshuanyc73]

Great teacher. Love your grooves and your breakdowns of each. Thanks!

[@stfnzpl7856]

Thank you for yor great effort. I'm always wondering why people try to find random names for all of their stuff. Flick trick...WOW. I think the main problem is the standard drum setup we are using and we are so caught up in building it up again and again. Unfortunately, this is also determined by the music market. But please all try it once and place the hihat relatively low and directly in front of you (i.e. behind the snare drum). Of course, you can't open the hihat while playing (unless you have a cable hihat or some other shaft). It's not only a kind of open-handed playing, but much more, because you can use both hands equally!

[@theredbaron057]

would love to know what mics you're using on the kit, they sound great.

[@TruthFate01]

That's fantastic

[@bpdrumstudio]

Cool.... Just a quick question did you plan on using these patterns in your examples in halftime because the snare accent (backbeat) is on beat 3. Tks

[@jamesthefink]

What if you are a left handed drummer and or play open handed on a right handed set up drum set. Will that trick still work?

[@DaveYsraelSanJuan]

Nice tutorial! This channel is my go-to because it feels like home. I would like to ask regarding Double + Flick, I noticed that I am almost always doing this because the sound really looks sick. However I am doing it in a fast RLR instead of RRL. Is there any advantage for double stroke instead of what I am doing (RLR) so that I can be inspired to do doubles? Still a beginner here. I'm still mastering single stroke before I jump on to double strokes.

[@stefanewald518]

Hi! Just tried it but for me in my position of the hihat it is actually more simple to get a hit in the normal way. The flick makes me crahing my sticks together 😂

[@blerdikurti4750]

Very good

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@maheshwaran4650]

It's is awesome bro I love to play drums but I don't have it because of my family situation I saw all the videos of you bro it is very useful. 😅😁😁

[@jadynserrao8816]

Nice 👍

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Hey thanks!

[@vibeswithlewah2612]

Great video🤍✅ Aside from this hi hat which i learn alot from, How can i have a strong hand when playing the drums?💔

[@thedonzo]

Been doing this for years, it just felt natural for me to do, I've never took classes or anything, self taught, I don't even remember when I started playing because I was so young I've just always known how to play drums and have always had drums lol

[@jf-yi8wg]

Yo that’d be cool if you could add a bit of drum history on those, so we have a bit of context of where it comes from. Just to dg deeper etc.

[@Bumpys4819]

Any gospel/r&b drummer e.g. ladell abrams, Marvin McQuitty, Calvin Rodgers etc

[@ethanbyrddrums]

Hey my remo black dot coated did the same thing... The dot chips and sticky flakes can be really hard to get out of your drum after.

[@markstitson3409]

Awesome, this is great! I will be applying to my playing. What is the name of the tune you have playing in the intro, it's sweet!?

[@pottsproductions2522]

I like using this trick for when I want to play 16th note partials on the hats but for 8th note I just use my foot instead

[@drumken]

Beginners will appreciate

[@noamibr]

Thank you for this Gabe. What should I do if I’m left handed playing on a kit setup for right people?(I actually play with open hands, not crossing my hands)

[@kenbrown2808]

you can still flick the snare stick to the high hat.

[@RockyTop85]

Gospel has been incorporating this for ages.

[@Bumpys4819]

Right. I've been playing this way since i seen Ladell Abrams play in the 90's

[@TargetHHH101]

So simple but so effective, time to rewrite all my songs lol

[@josegonzalez6231]

Can you name what cymbals you're using please

I actually do that sometimes lol that’s good to know it’s ok

[@jerrywei9307]

q Series Zultan Great Work Thank you

[@mazilys]

Looks clumsy but I’ll give it a go. Being a lefty I use open on a right handed kit. I might even be doing the flick already

[@gustavojavierrojas5105]

Interesting Gabe. I heard this resource in fhe song "I found you" from L.A. Guns. Am I right?

[@laridrums7777]

🌺Super

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

❤️❤️

[@jrlaurio6120]

How to learn solem version?

[@cactusoft]

Much easier if you take the plunge and start playing open handed. No hand crossing required so easy to move hand from snare to hats.

[@lenalevit589]

Thank you G.!(+++)

[@DruMatthias]

This is That much easier when you play open handed. Switched to left hand lead as a righty years back and the "flick" is then sans stick smack.

[@Studio_musician]

Clearly showed the hi-hat technique

[@LenoxVeleno]

I use the flick all the time

[@mirandagray3170]

When I first started playing drums I was playing a groove and I messed up and my left hand hit the hi hat and I thought it sounded cool so I found out about this trick by accident .😅😊

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Haha that's awesome!

[@kenbrown2808]

I also figured it out on my own. nice to see it officially sanctioned.

[@richutch3291]

So that’s how Stewart Copeland does that trick!

[@richardn687]

Why do drummer uses different types of sticks while playing drums?

[@patrickpaulsen6401]

nice stuff...but I find the metronome is too loud on the track - it overwhelms the hi-hat sound.

[@AustinWestbro]

You can only really do this if your hats are low

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

My hi hats are about medium height I'd say. But this can definitely work with higher hi-hats as well! You'd just have to lift the left hand a little more.

[@jefforylong1389]

left handed drummer on a right hand setup does this naturally.

[@andyham6094]

Mate whats going on with your hair ? looks like you got some undercoat ( grey ) sprayed in it. :)

[@unworthy1582]

Its time to get right with Jesus. nobody is automatically gonna go to heaven at the end of it, we all have lied or stolen or had sex before marriage and the punishment is hell. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of future sins if you repent of them once you commit them, so you receive the gift of forgiveness by following him. When you start you have to stop sinning, and follow his word and obey it. That’s following Jesus. Read your Bible!!!

[@fadidankiha2132]

God loves you all and you can all be saved (if not already) by just putting faith in Jesus Christ and repenting of sins (turning to God from sin and changing your mind on sin) And you should ask for forgiveness of your sins (this can be anywhere) have a nice day Jesus is my lord! And the solution to hell! And dressing sexually/posing sexually is a sin but it's forgivable but just because a sin is forgivable doesn't mean you should commit it that's abusing Gods grace/forgiveness or it could be and the same applies for listening to music with sin in the lyrics and the same applies for insulting people even when they insult you and being toxic And show mercy to be shown mercy by God And good deeds are kind acts that the person doing it has no cost for it. And I'm not a bot
