Saw Papa Joe play with Basie in the late 50s -early 60s. (Montclair St. College in NJ) I was probably in early teens. Totally wowed by him.. Very slow tune ride cymbal - beautiful, clear, sweet sound carried the whole band, gave the tune character. Also, he was a showman. At a break in a song as the whole band was tacet for a bar, he threw a stick high in the air and caught it in perfect time to play a rim shot with it. Did not know who he was. My father clued me in. I came to hear Basie's band, my favorite (BTW Basie lived in NJ).

Another way to learn how your hi hats can sound so many different ways, is to practice songs in 3/4 time. You could do several videos on this. An example of some of the songs are from Vince Guaraldi's sound track from Charlie Brown Christmas with Gerry Granelli playing with sticks and brushes. Jerry even made some KZbin videos with his trio shortly before he died recently. Your video on playing the bass drum definitely applies here with how delicate it can sound, open and closed. I'm 74 years old and I am loving hi hats and brushes more every day. The delicate skill required is amazing. I would love to know 10% of what Papa Jo Jones and Ed Thigpen knew.

There is no true right way or wrong way to play a hh. I use it as a complete complicated instrument. I hit the edge the middle the bell even the under cymbal. I use my other hand yo choke it if I want like gene and buddy I use the pedal to partially open it or full open it and close it abruptly like a parade pair of cymbals. I use it to chirp I use it to augment my playing every way I can. You can adjust the bottom cymbal to a slight angle yo get more sizzle or less. I’ve reversed too and bottom cymbals some use heavier bottoms some use grooved inner ridge on bottom to get a sharper chunk sound when closing. The versatility of it is unlimited. Be experimental and try to see how diversified this little part of your set can be. If it sounds good it ain’t wrong. Been playing for 62 years and still learning new things
@boomerguy99352 ай бұрын
@@larrymarcus3176 Yes on the mixing and matching! ! I've mixed and matched my hi hats over the years, ignoring the so-called rule of the bottom one being much heavier than the bottom. My favorite pair is actually two pairs sharing the same bottom which is slightly lighter in weight but darker in sound because of the shallow bell and wide-groove lathing. Both tops weigh about the same but one is darker than the other. I have them paired with my slightly dark and really dark Zildjian K ride and crash sets. To get YOUR best sound, experiment with patience. You will eventually find your favorite hi hats. I bought my bottom hi hat as part of a pair in 1966 and it is sounding better than ever! The top is in storage because I now consider it to be too bright for my style of playing.
@larrymarcus31762 ай бұрын
@@boomerguy9935 I have four pairs zildjian k zildjian custom a zildjian a and zilco plus my original Krut Swiss my first set which are way too bright so I use them stacked on crash cymbals. My son has a pair of sweet zildjian which are too soft sounding for me. The best for me are vintage a from the 60’s one day I’ll get a pair they are truly the Swiss Army knife of high hats the new ones don’t come close. I sometimes use a pair closed on the right side of set when I’m playing fusion or tower of power so it’s easy to go from closed sound to open using two pairs. I have a broken old Ludwig speed king he stand that doesn’t open so I push it up close to bass drum just right of ride cymbal. I’ve even used little splash cymbals as hh cymbals when I want a very light sound I have a few of them to mate up. I’ve accumulated a lot of cymbals are snare drums over the years. It’s good to keep diversifying and testing new sounds it’s also fun

There are SOOOOO many ways to play the hi hats and get many different sounds from them. They should be played musically and not beaten to death like rock drummers so commonly do. I started out in rock in the 60's as a know--it-all teenage drummer in a garage band. Then I discovered jazz. A few years later, I was fortunate enough to find a fantastic jazz drummer (not instructor because he refused to teach - I think I was the only student he ever had because I wore him down, begging.) to teach me and I'm still learning. The first thing he did was make me start all over, learn and practice rudiments, keep good time and most importantly, not to play too loud. He introduced me to brushes and I was blown away by how much he sounded like Ed Thigpen. Because of him, I made a lot of money while wearing a tux and playing alongside a piano and stand-up bass. Never, ever underestimate hi hats, even with brushes and a soft bass pedal.

Yeah, in jazz, we like to play with the tip on top for more precision. Good to be able to do both for different styles.

Nothin' wrong with playing on the shoulder if that's what the music calls for. I understand why to play using the tip. I do. However, I disagree with anyone who says never use the shoulder. It just depends on the sound you need to achieve for the music you are playing. It is not technique for technique's sake.

I enjoyed your instructional video but can you please fix your microphone because your voice is very low and the drums are very loud if you could make it so we can hear your voice so it is equal to the sound of the drums thanks so much!

Sorry about that! I agree with you. I think my voice is better in my most recent ride cymbal video. Hopefully it's better:) Thanks for watching!

I'm pretty sure I've never heard anyone play hi-hats like those first two examples. Well, until now anyway.
