The 4 Lost Hi Hat Tricks | Drum Lesson w/ Orlando Drummer

Thanks for watching! This lesson is intended to cover 4 hi hat tricks that are not commonly used by drummers. While most drummers have heard (or at least seen) these hi hat tricks and techniques, I’ve found that tons of drummers don’t quite know how to execute them. I hope this lesson serves as a jumping-off point for anyone who wants to expand their drumming vocabulary on the hi-hats, and start getting the most of this incredibly versatile piece of our instrument. Enjoy!

Hi~Hats are the icing of a cake for drumming.

Been playing for 30+ years and this is the best demonstration of slicing. Adding that new one to the tool kit. Thank you

[@MrItanaa]

Dude.. you're incredible.. God bless you and your family

[@demonicsweaters]

Such an ambient roomy drum sound, sounds great!

[@AdamTuminaro]

Glad you like it! I back my room mic out a few feet farther than normal, and thought it sounded killer. 🤘🏼

[@demonicsweaters]

@@AdamTuminaro Yeah it did! I like how you often go for a natural sound rather than super processed sounds. Kick drum especially has a round WHOMP rather than a clicky click sound, which is very refreshing.

[@sauzeeee]

as a beginner drummer i love doing left hand barks, because at least my drumming doesnt sound as basic lol. the first time i saw this technique was from Gavin Harrison playing White Mist/Threatening War at Vic Firth's channel. tho i'm clearly gonna use that hihat slicing.

[@danielskoffa]

Pitch shift. Press down harder with your left foot to get a higher pitch.

[@AdamTuminaro]

Yoda level 👽

[@gabrielgoodloe6262]

I've been told that can mess up hardware if you go crazy with it. But definitely cool every now and then🤘

[@AdamTuminaro]

@@gabrielgoodloe6262 Good point, but probably nothing more than a damaged clutch and/or scratched pull rod. The stand itself would survive, and the cheap stuff can be replaced easily. #WorthIt 👌🏼

00:35 That's freaking cooool

[@psantiboogie9726]

Smooth. Than snare has the best sound I ever heard.

[@bishopoftroy]

I do the barks with just the tip of the stick, hit a bit harder and you get a really nice sound like a 'g-heeeeet', but you must open them right when the stick hits.

[@EarthworksAudio]

Great lesson as always Adam! Your kit sounds great with our mics 👏

[@artemcultura6191]

Thanks for the info! Really cool ideas . Will give them all a whirl dude

[@ochocabra1542]

I've been doing that slicing thing almost 30 years. I never called it that, or anything, really. just another way to bark the hats. but I throw it in all over the place. it sounds really bad ass in fast tempos and when you swing

[@InYourDreams-Andia]

The slice is new to me, have to try it! 🍕🤘

[@ronalgarzon194]

Tremendo feeling

[@mattgordon5228]

Even for a beginner like me, this is an awesome lesson.

[@AdamTuminaro]

So glad to hear that Matt! 🙏🏼

[@KirksDrumRoom]

GREAT video, Adam! I already use the last three of these concepts. But the first one is new to me. Definitely going to add that one to my arsenal.

[@michaelbrown3128]

Killer video, as always. I like how you spend time going over the details and never short the viewers!

Thanks Randy! 🙏🏼

[@ADDG880]

Great video. Creative topic. Personally splashing out to the left feels more natural, but which ever way works for you it sounds awesome

[@KevinPaulineNeal]

Wow. That sounds so good.

[@mikepostdrums]

Production on this is siiick! Check out Matt Johnson's solo on Dream Brother btw.. those hihat splashes while soloing!

[@davidcipolla4036]

Great lesson, the only thing I'd comment is that splashing-open/closing the HH with the left foot can be done using a heel-toe technique, or a flat foot heel up stroke to splash the hats, therefore one wouldn't need to use large movements of a heel hit like in the vid. I will state that the heel hit can produce a good amount of volume for a splash which can be useful, though I'd say that a flat foot heel up stroke I think could produce comparable volume.

[@AdamTuminaro]

Addressed at 17:00. I don’t know anyone who’s reliably able to do this technique without a twist. (Very tiny feet probably help) My heel doesn’t physically touch any part of the footboard that moves unless the foot turns. Heel toe would give me jammed toes and inaudible splashes.

[@garyfalkner1815]

Very nice . .cool as always!

[@thomasnappo6309]

Another great video..

[@ianchui7711]

Snare drum sounds amazing

[@SAHBfan]

Another trick I saw Thomas Lang do (just about the only thing Thomas Lang has played that I could actually do myself…) was doubles on the hi hat with the foot. If playing a double (it only needs to be 8th notes) the first beat is a splash as you open the hats again for the second beat, which is a closed sound. Easy to play and sounds really cool in the right place….

[@nismo357able]

Thank you. I have not thought about the slice since 9th grade. 25yrs ago...

[@michaeldavis1308]

That last technique I refer to as Stomp Time...sometimes I ride 8th notes on my foot and groove in my hands and cowbell

[@StuartJrBarrett]

I’m heading over to your classes right NOW! Amazing work and the drums sounds SICK!!!!!!!!!

[@AdamTuminaro]

See you there Stuart! 🤘🏼

[@jean-philippelasalle]

I REALY LOVE the drum set you used in this video, In what wood essence was it?

[@JustinGoldsmith]

First time I've ever seen one of your videos. You had me at the slice lol. Never even heard of that concept before. I play aggressive metal and I will absolutely find a way to get that into my bag of tricks. Thanks for that. New sub here.

[@AdamTuminaro]

Thank you for the kind words Justin! Welcome in my friend! Happy you’re here 👊🏼💜

[@Shurmstick]

Hey great video thank you. I have a question. What kind of snare is that and what kind of poop do you have on the top?

[@ahchv]

Hey man I miss the podcasts!! When are they coming back?

[@AdamTuminaro]

Unfortunately it was not enjoyed / watched by a vast majority of my audience, based on my first year of metrics. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot in the future, but it’s on the back burner for now. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@ahchv]

@@AdamTuminaro thanks man I was a big fan. Thanks for all you do for for the drumming community!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@nathanielnicholson559]

The splash I learned by listening to William Calhoun and, fortunately, figuring out what the shit he was doing. The left hand bark I 'came up with' while trying to play Budgie stuff like Peepshow. The stomp... why have I never used it like this?!?! I'm a fraud, a failure, a sham, I quit... Ok, I'm back and... what's this? The slice??!! HOW has this ingeniously tasty little piece of sexy eluded me for so long?! Your hats sound soopah yummy, by the way. Nice video.

[@forthegoodofthem4182]

great job on the hatz, but I love the rim shots on the wood rim snare... who makes it..??

[@csciabar]

Longboard hihats allow the heel maneuver.

[@robelsenaar7932]

Thank you Adam, very interesting. I'm wondering, what kind of snare drum are you using? I've been looking for a snare drum sound like that. Greetings from The Netherlands.

[@whamajamma75]

Orlando Drummer? As in Florida? I'm next door in Cocoa

[@ivanbamford]

Hey! Great video! I was wondering, in the intro did you get the bass drum pattern from the Chandé?

[@AdamTuminaro]

Thanks! I have literally never heard of that pattern lol

[@giemmi76]

Wow

[@genesmith4019]

In the 1920's there was no hi-hat. The sock-cymbal was invented and it was down low on the floor. The high-hat brought the sock-cymbal up to where the drummer could reach it with a stick.

[@hole_drumzz2195]

you should do a part two adding the trick that lenny the ox does, when he hits the hats and snare at the same time with one hand, he has a really great video with him doing it in a zildjian vault performance

[@AdamTuminaro]

Good call! Benny does those as well, and I’ve heard him describe them as “free ghost notes”. Would have fit in this lesson perfectly, if I only knew how to play them. Lol

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

What is that snare drum?

[@TheKoderius]

How can I produce Hi-hat slices on an electronic drum set? 🤔

[@AdamTuminaro]

Sample a reverse cymbal swell, lol. 😉 Significantly easier than trying to manipulate the sensors in the hardware of an E-kit.

[@codgerfiasco]

Slightly off topic but just noticed that your beater hits past 90 degrees. Do you like it to go past twelve o clock? I mean the beater is still flush with the head but seems like sub optimal physics to have the beater go past/over the rocker shaft... is this a feel thing? Or a 'never really bothered me' thing? I just got a dyna-sync and my gretsch hoops were so deep it had this issue. Solved it with a gadget but now I see it everywhere. Just thought it would be interesting to get your take.

[@AdamTuminaro]

It’s certainly a “never really bothered me” situation.” I’ve learned that I can adapt to virtually any pedal setup in about 2 weeks, and play without any inhibitions. Just a matter of letting my body adjust, and tweaking the general spring tension to my liking. I’m not under the impression that there’s any true optimal setup; at least not one that would be distinguishable outside of speed metal. Lol

[@CtrlSaltDelete]

Definitely going to work on that slice! Sounds fantastic! It's not exactly forgotten or uncommon, but I love splashing the heel to give an accent to certain hits on the snare, especially in a slower, heavier sort of context. Also splashing before closing on a downbeat on the snare / kick to give a similar but less subtle sort of effect to the slice is a lot of fun :) Edit: oops, didn't mean to reply to this comment haha

[@codgerfiasco]

@@AdamTuminaro Haha cool. i'm not a metal guy and probably overthinking it. I will see if it makes any difference when the gizmo arrives in the post. Thanks for your reply and all the great content!
