My biggest problem here is to keep the movement smaller when the speed gets higher because I probably want to play with the same volume subliminally. Still looking for a mindset to master this!
Hi Moritz. Maybe you have to think in 2 different sound zones :-) If all strokes should be the same volume then hi-hat with 2 hands when it gets faster or with one hand in a slower tempo. If you're looking for that accented, unacceneted sound, play faster with one hand. Hope that helps? //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash Thanks! I am aware of the accented/unaccented sound, but I meant the overall volume. When I play higher speed, the strokes should get smaller and thus they lose volume. Then my brain thinks that it needs more volume and I start bashing and losing control and endurance.
Anderson Pak on his tiny desk... for come down... good lord the man is a drum machine playing 16ths and singing. Just SMASHING out that groove. I gotta know how to do it!
Good video! This is essentially the Moeller technique. I’m in the middle of learning it now. Without it I was starting to get pain in my wrist, arm, and elbow when playing fast high hat eight and sixteenth notes.
One of the hardest things I have been facing on the drums. I realised after 4 months that I can do that when I keep my hand tight enough to hold the sticks but loose enough to swing like a feather.
Hi Simon. Thanks. I think the following songs are great: - John Mayer - Why Gerogia (for a slower 8th note rhythm to learn) - John Mayer songs in general are great to practice that :-) - The Roots - You Got Me (feat. Erikah Badu) - Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (faster 8th notes) or Jam (for Bass Drum Independence)
tips for accenting on the + (ands) for 8th notes and not on the up beats (1234)? Ive been accenting with velocity and now im trying to get rid of that habit but now I cant play simple beats together with my kick drum like I could before without using this technique. but I know I should change to this
@@ThomannsDrumBash I think the A Custom is much more brighter. The Xist has a good mix between dark and bright. I'll find they both Hats has a nice chick sound.
Hi. The Hi-Hats in this video are: 13“ Istanbul Agop Xist Brilliant 13“ Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark 16“ Meinl Foundry Reserve Which one do you like best? //Simon

Just SMASHING out that groove. I gotta know how to do it!
Great techniques Simon! I personally use some of these especially when I am playing Tom Sawyer!
Yes! Absolutely. That’s a great groove to practice the technique. //Simon
Great lesson. Time to practice. Its about to get these smaller and smaller movements when it goes faster. Thanks
I’m bookmarking this lesson.

Chris slade is a beast with 8th notes in the 90s
HI Simon ! Thank you for the advices ! Which songs do you recommend to practice and improve hand technique ? 🤟
Hi Simon. Thanks. I think the following songs are great:
- John Mayer - Why Gerogia (for a slower 8th note rhythm to learn) - John Mayer songs in general are great to practice that :-)

🙏🏻👍🏻 Anytime. What do you google Next? 😅😂 //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash how to set up hi hat with double kick pedal (hi hat is too far away from snare)? beginner stuff, You know
@@ramzesrama8391 Use a hi hatstand with two legs and not with three. You can place the second bass pedal beside the hi hat

Your approach to playing Be-Bop, would be interesting, thank you for asking.
thank you man....going to practice, i want to play some of the ramones live songs
Your very welcome! Let me know if I can help with something else! //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash thank you. For this practice, is it better to hold the stick with 4 or 5 fingers?
hi..what is the role of the three fingers below the stick ?
Awesome lesson! Was wondering what the name of this technique is called?
if i’m not mistaken i see that for the strokes it starts with the shaft then the tip, i was doing wrong the entire time🤯
Those hats sound amazing!! What are they??
What snare drum are you using? It sounds really cool!
Hi Marc! Thanks. It‘s a 14“x5,5“ Pearl Masters Premium Legend with a Remo CS Black Dot Drumhead. Which snare is your favorite at the moment? //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash I think that the Ludwig Black beauty is my favourite one, but I also like the Pearl sensitone raw brass.
Agree, the black beauty sounds amazing. Never had the chance to play the pearl raw brass. I own a sensitione brass snare which I like a lot! //Simon
Great video! This really helped.
Thanks Joseph. Glad I could help.What are you practicing at the moment besides hi-hat hand technique? //Simon
very nice snare sound! what snare is it?
It is Istanbul Xist Brilliant Hihat or Natural?
Hi Benji. It‘s a 13“ Brilliant followed by a 13“ Xist Dry Dark! Which one do you like better? //Simon
Thanks, clearly the Brilliant. You would say this Hihat sounds like Zildjian K Hats ?
Hmm..for K hats it maybe sounds a little to bright don‘t you think? Maybe they are more on the A Custom kinda side? //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash I think the A Custom is much more brighter. The Xist has a good mix between dark and bright. I'll find they both Hats has a nice chick sound.
@@benjiif_9690 Yeah maybe. I‘m more on the Xist Dry Dark side of sound. I like that kinda trashy washy kinda sound :). //Simon
those ghost notes, really got me spooked.........................just kidding.
Sensitone Bronze Snare ?
Hi Andreas. Yep. Pearl Sensitone Phosphore Bronze. //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash 👍🏻nice1
Great insight and very well demonstrated! The Thomann Bash lesson vids are mighty👍🥁🥁🥁
Thanks a lot Storminsea! Means a lot. Is there anything you‘d like to see in a future video? //Simon
And don't forget to put groovy HiHat accents in, like you did in your outro groove! 🤓
What kind of cymbals are those?
Hi. The Hi-Hats in this video are:
13“ Istanbul Agop Xist Brilliant
13“ Istanbul Agop Xist Dry Dark
16“ Meinl Foundry Reserve
Which one do you like best? //Simon
@@ThomannsDrumBash I like the Brilliant best, but what sizes and type are the cymbals other than the hi-hats? Well played!
Ah sorry. That’s a 18“ K Cluster Crash and a 21“ K Custom Special Dry Ride. //Simon
