CJ, I learn more from you than basically any other drummer! CHEERS!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Thank you so much!!!

[@boy041192]

I now practice that first hi hat lick with the left hand it’s way challenging

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Nice going, bud!!

[@RC32Smiths01]

I love patterns that make the most of open hi hats. Just a great sound when you do it consistently. Loved the variations to show that experimentation and creativity comes into play all the time.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Cheers, buddy! Always appreciate your support ✌️🔥

@@ThatSwedishDrummer Always! Thank you for great, fun, and informative lessons!

I by accident, developed the first one by playing along to old Journey albums. Steve Smith has a great washy swing sound

[@sandpitturtle2781]

I’m finding the hi-hat pattern on the first one super difficult, it feels awkward as hell 😂

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

It does at first! Just try to take it slow and remember that it might not fit all tempos too! Play at whatever tempo that suits you and experiment with it 😃✌️

[@lanceschultz7132]

Slow it way down....u will find the feel/flow. Then practice playing that groove to songs u like. U'll get there..

[@maxroxdrums]

Take time out of your practice to focus on your technique. Find the fulcrum of the stick and use a proper grip that is comfortable for you, personally I adjust grip accordingly to muscle memory for whichever parts I'm playing. Slow the metronome as much as you need (60 bpm is a good start). Concentrate on your downstrokes and upstrokes, many drummers find that awkward feeling during upstrokes, when you find that balance between your fulcrum and technique you will know. Practice this consistently and continue increasing your metronome speed as you progress and the results will show. Also can't stress enough how important, yet overlooked rudiments are. Practicing all rudiments will benefit you in every way around your kit. Start with single stroke rolls, double stroke rolls, etc. That hi hat groove will be a cakewalk.

[@jamsondrums4259]

Sometimes it helps to look at the details- check out the angle & height of the forearm in the demonstration (in relation to the hi hat cymbal). Sitting to low or high can affect this!

[@WardenOnDrums]

This is good stuff indeed… these 1/16 note ostinatos can be a vibe 👌🏼

[@lecossec1958]

Hi CJ, hope you're doing well. I would like to know if you have some exercises on open handed drumming. I'm a righty and it seems this enhances your weak hand. Thank's for your help and keep on delivering your so useful lessons. Best regards.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I never really play open-handed (with my left hand), since I don't have to haha. But I could definitely try to make a video on it! What you can do for now, is to take just a simple groove, and instead play the hi-hat with your left hand with the right hand on the snare. The more you practice, the more your muscle memory will adapt to it.

[@lecossec1958]

I like these drums better than the new set

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

That’s fine 😊 to each their own. I’m not using my preferred drum heads on my new kit either so I’m not getting the optimal sound I want atm

[@rayfabbri3759]

Will you be using the snare you got for your Birthday with the new set? Or is that a no no? It sounded tremendous.

@@rayfabbri3759 of course I will 😊 it’s a Sonor drum too!

Gracias!!🙌🔥

[@Usoppblueblue]

Hi CJ, thanks for the lesson. I've learnt a lot from your video I am new to the drum so i was wondering the way you hit the Hi-hat, is this the push pull technique?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Hey!! I use different techniques for different scenarios, but I actually mostly use the moeller-stroke when playing :)

[@Usoppblueblue]

​@@ThatSwedishDrummerThanks CJ, will keep learning from your channel . 💪😊

[@ZachBratland]

Loved it CJ!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Cheers, buddy! I appreciate it 🙌

[@krusher74]

Is that a first gen Benny greb snare? it sounds amazing!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Indeed it is! It's definitely one of my favorite snare drums!

[@sonofanarchy6936]

I hope one day i can play like this because I believe that effort is the ladder of success but sometime i feel giving up and bored because i just play same beat 😢

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

We all hit that wall sometimes, when you feel uninspired and lack motivation. It's natural! You just gotta keep going and remember to have fun with the instrument! :)

[@johnrobinson8323]

Thanks so much TJ ! I definitely will be practicing these hihat patterns! 🥁❤️

Nice!! Let me know how it goes 🤙🔥

[@Jim-b1x]

Great lesson bro, what high hats are you playing

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

15" Paiste Formula 602 ME :)

[@Meme-zc4cw]

So for the first one is it kind of like the "push pull" with the shoulder and tip of the stick?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

It's not really push/pull, (that's a valid technique too though!), I'm using more of a Moeller stroke.

[@Meme-zc4cw]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer Thanks for the clarification buddy! I am practicing this and hopefully will get it soon.

[@anubisbeck8321]

AWESOME!!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Thanks!!

[@emeraldolive3904]

how long would it take to fully grasp the first technique?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

That's a tough question, because it all depends on how much you practice and the quality of the practice.

[@marco9und60]

Good patterns to practice to, Thanks CJ! Would you say that, over time and with practicing this, the BPM will go up? For me the Moeller move ends around 70BPM. On a totally different note, could you please do a vid about how to play/create a Solo in the future?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Cheers, Marco! It’s always good to practice slow as well as fast tempos, but know that faster doesn’t always mean “better”. I might do a “how to solo”-video down the road, but I do have one up for my Full Kit-members 🤗

is that a bioshock tattoo

yup!

[@davidll4334]

hey! thanks! Could you tell me how to play the first part of the song "Oh No" by BMTH? that pattern is different, Idk how to explain, but the hi hat sound is different and I can't imitate it, it's hard for me. I can imitate the techniques that you use in the video. thanks!

Does this also works on Zildjian hi-hats?

[@muffinman4353]

Now try those same patterns using traditional grip.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

First of all, I don’t play traditional. Second, even if I did - the pattern is still the same with the right hand…🤣

[@muffinman4353]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer A good, well-rounded drummer should be comfortable playing with both grips..... It's never too late for you to learn.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

@@muffinman4353 that is completely subjective and not entirely accurate. On the contrary, none of the dozens of teachers and mentors I’ve had has ever suggested that. What exactly are the benefits of learning the two different grips, according to you?

[@muffinman4353]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer Your excuses for not being able to play with traditional grip are far from being, "Subjective". While attending Berklee College Of Music in Boston, ALL my instructors, including fellow percussion classmates were and are proficient in both grips. Famous drummers such as. Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Vinnie colaiuta, etc. Excel in both. Nothing for you to be embarrassed about, once again, it's never too late for you to learn. I recommend you start getting comfortable with traditional. If you're trying to be an "Educator" with exercises in drumming on a social platform, it's best to show and give your viewers an option. Let them know that they have an option. Once again, it's NEVER too late for you to learn as well!

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

@@muffinman4353 still, I’m not gonna spend time to play traditional. There’s no special benefit of learning it.

Nice. Hard to make it on electronic drum set. I have two and on both of them the same problem. I have roland vad507 and td20kv. How to resolve it? Can you please help?regards

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I have little to no experience when it comes to electronic kits, and they all vary a lot. But you can still practice the exercise, you just might not hear the dynamics as you would with an acoustic kit.

Serious snare from a serious drummer.

[@NintenDub]

Ive been olaying twenty years with terrible, Lars Ulrich-esque technique. For years i couldbt understand how the fast hi hat thing worked without gettin worn out. I eventually understood it, but still today j cant execute it.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Don't worry about it, bud. It's all about practice. Remember - being able to play fast and with good technique is a byproduct from staying relaxed! :)

[@NintenDub]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer but I am worried about it. When you realize you've wasted twenty years on something with poor technique, never had an actual teacher or any in person lesson,and just went on about my way,you kinda question where any how ya went wrong,especially when you think about the potential for many other wasted aavenuees of life.

[@henrychavez918]

How are the hats set up per groove… you have them tight then loose… who knows

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

It all depends on the sound you want from the hi-hat :)

These are just examples, it's up to the viewer to take it from there and apply a slower or faster tempo than I do ^^
