Last one [ triplet + blushda] is basically an example of how to play regae stuff on drums.😆

I've played for 48 yrs and this seems a little convoluted to me. Just play the tricky hi-hat note with your left hand, which is just sitting there waiting for something to do. Also, you ARE playing triplets if you stop thinking of the drumset as seperate pieces. Think of it as ONE instrument and your sticking possibilities will open up.

[@JoshMerhar]

Do you think Steve Gadd's drumming on "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" is convoluted? He uses the same mechanic to play that part. Stepping on the pedal provides a different inflection compared to striking with a stick. In the specific examples I demonstrated, the left hand isn't doing anything immediately before the hihat step, but there's no reason it couldn't do something at that position. It's up to the user to get creative with the mechanic. I strongly disagree with thinking of the drum set as one instrument. It's a collection of instruments. I've found that thinking of it as just one thing grossly limits possibilities in terms of inflections, dynamics, and orchestrations. But different strokes for different folks! You do you.

And, sometimes the left hand is occupied 😉 kzbin.infoLKFuUMvUTmM?feature=share
