Quick Tips with Joe Crabtree: How Loud Should Ghost Notes Be?

[@DennisSnyderDrums]

Thanks Joe. Ghost notes are one of my favorite things to spice up any groove. I am very impressed with the control you have over the dynamics of your hihat and snare drum. In particular, the way you played the back beats on 2 and 4 quite loud and the "e" of 2 and 4 as a ghost note very softly. Also your drum sounds are excellent.

I always liked Thomas Pridgen's answer to a question on ghosts: "I like to play my ghost notes really loud, which to most drummers isn't a ghost note"
