That little hi-hat trick with one hand triplets comes from bodharan(?) drums. it's not hard, you can do it!! 🦄

[@isaacseehausen]

Hey Zach, here is a tutorial for the technique at 7:07, it's the Casey Claw, heres a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3OypWWlZdSoq7M

[@everyoneelsemovedonfan]

That sick intro was Beethoven Moonlight sonata 3 lol

Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement = sick intro to a rock song

[@marsjokes]

Oh my gosh! Thanks for naming the piece. I was like, hold on a minute, I know this piece. It's a classical piece. But what's it called, and by whom?. Thanks man. And yeah, it's a totally sick intro for a rock song.

[@ItsMrBozToYou]

Beethoven has such short, focused, and rhythmic lines that just translate really well to "heavy" instrumentation. Orchestra, electric instruments, piano, etc.

[@NikolaVa87]

Yep. My favorite piece from Beethoven.

[@delicrux]

This sounds exactly like the guitar version Stéphan Forté plays on his solo track virtuosity etude

[@325bpm6]

8:16 it’s a variation on the Casey Claw, which is like playing a double stroke roll but you do the weird claw grip in one hand to play doubles. the difference is that with what he’s doing, he plays three notes in one motion so what you do is you death grip the stick in the middle and learn the two-way casey claw, which is what i was just talking about; you hit the butt then the tip of the stick with the claw hand in one motion by rotating the wrist. then, to get the one-handed claw, you get rid of the other hand and with the claw hand, you play butt-tip then add an extra butt at the end by rotating back the other direction. then you repeat, butt-tip-butt butt-tip-butt

[@xcw3135]

So you mean after the first strike with the butt of the stick, it continues in the pattern of tip-butt-butt for the rest of the time?

That hi-hat trick was nuts. It was like the hand equivalent of that weird kick pedal that exists that's a single pedal but has 2 beaters on it so when the pedal pulls back, the second beater hits the drum so you get 2 notes for every one stroke.

[@scc.2538]

Casey Claw baby, it is used primarily in marching, there are a lot of tutorials on yt for it.

7:56 that’s called the Casey claw. It’s used in marching percussion and rarely ever used in drum set. You move your hand like that to hit the playing surface with the butt of the stick and the tip in a smooth pattern then fill in the rest with diddles.

[@Terrible_Peril]

looks like he grips closer to the tip and swings the base of the stick (closer to the abdomen) through the edge of the hat twice, and then on the second hit the wrist turns enough that the tip also makes contact. I'm not a drummer but I do a similar thing with a little wooden gear on a stick and my bass guitar string.
