Do any professionals play songs without accenting the hi hats with the tips of the stick, I mean you can't always tell if they are using the tip to accent on songs... Also why do you have to do rim shots for a hi hat and kick drum video lesson, do some drummers only play rim shots all the time, trying to sound serious because not everyone learns this way! Otherwise, good video but I wonder if beginners out there will think, oh man i need to do rim shots, then strain themselves on every song they play. Same goes for hi-hat techniques, do what comfortable to learn drums, then take notes from videos, you can just use a snare, or play around with toms, you don't have to learn the whole kit at once, since I've been drumming since 90's, I learned the hardway! What I mean by strain, as you learn rim shots for one, you can injure yourself just like bad sitting postures! Every hit doesn't have to be a Chad Smith rock song. Stay loose!
I did his method on wood snare but the rim edge near #6 lug got smashed, then I read somewheres how too loose of a lug might do this. So be care with any kind of loose tuning and rim shots on for good bearing edges.
You stated early in video that you linked to a video explaining how to learn Vinnie's tom & bass drum pattern...R hand, L foot, L hand, R foot? Where? Why not... R hand, R foot, L hand, L foot? Why the cross?
It's in the full lesson on www.joecrabtree.com/ Right hand comes on the beat. The right foot precedes it. Think of the feet leading the hands, but the hands are on the 8th notes.
This lesson shows you a nice dynamic trick on hihat to play 8ths and being a ghost on the &'s, just by striking the hat differently for the accents, then without a word he automatically just did that on the triplets accenting the 1/4's and using the tip on the top to get the quiet triplet strikes. Hey I kind of thought this was going to be about the feet, like a 4way independence deal. You can get the 1/4's on the hat with your foot and free your right hand or using that method to get the open hat on the right hand for the &'s.
Terrific stuff! It makes me appreciate how daunting a Frank Zappa audition must have been... He smiles as he hands you a page of squiggles and you have 45 seconds to read it through before he expects you to play it note-perfect with groove and flair. Yikes. Vinnie was famously (and uniquely?) on top of the situation and got the job, but I bet 99% of ordinary drummers would have walked out, apologising to Frank for having wasted his time. 🤭
maybe my ear canal to small , trying the sure se215, if im next marchal half stack i cannot hear anything usefull. when i sing its worse, i hear my own voice loud in my head, like if you plug ears with fingers its real loud, again drowning out everything, i dont understand how singers use in ears without being bothered by this efect
I don’t think he had the delay on for the whole song…the bass drum double hits don’t come every time and he plays a lot of different hihat variations that aren’t echoed.
Wow, watching your video its like a light bulb went off. I am by no means fast at it but with the way you explained the technique ive actually got it now. Thank you

Great adapting to live cover. Can’t imagine any band waiting for drummer to get the digital delay set up. And then the laughs if it’s out. Only for the gigs with six people propping up the bar.
