Members rheemb Posted November 18, 2006 Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 Can you guys help me with finding the best rock sound out of high hat. What do you guys think of the Zildian Custom A Mastersound hats? Is there others that sound better? Anyone have tips on how to get better with my left hand, faster with both hands and feet etc. I have no musical training at all.

That's what makes them great-- they're high. Seriously though, if you have absolutely no musical training I would -strongly- suggest lessons. Other than that, the key to doing all things fluidly is to start slowly with the most basic motions, absurdly, I can do this its so slow, and then gradually speed up. That is the only way. But the best way to figure out what you should be practicing slowly is to find competant instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sherman22 Posted November 18, 2006 Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 Zildjian Avedis mastersounds make great rock hats, very versatile, as do Paiste 2002 heavy hats. I recommend both, in any size you wish. As for the hand thing, nothing beats getting rudiments solid to get the left hand, (or if you are a righty, vice versa) solid. I find, that doing 5, 7, and 9 stroke rolls with paradiddles in between every couple measures on the high hat, really help my high hat technique, to help with precise, funky, high hat phrases. Anything that is comfortable at a slow pace, can make doing it faster easier, also, play what your head wants to hear, and the feet and hands will follow.

Members drumhead1234 Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 I really like the Bosphorus Stanton Moore Fat Hats. You can get them here and even listen to them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cheeseadiddle Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Why not listen to the Fat Hats at Cymbalsonly and buy them at Cymbalsonly? They are $297 at Cymbalsonly, and $329 at Steve Weiss. And Tony at Cymbalsonly provides excellent service from the moment he answers the telephone, to the day the package arrives at your door. He's a class act. And the dude can play! That's him on those recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sherman22 Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Cymbals Only was very helpful, I got a 20" Sabian Raw Ride from them, I love it, they were very helpful, and responded to my email very quickly. Good company, good sit, I wish they had more of some brands, but they definitly have one of the better Bosphorus collections Ive ever seen.

Members cheeseadiddle Posted November 20, 2006 Members Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm not sold on 'em. They didn't offer me Grey Poupon to go with my standing rib roast. Zildjian's suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the DW Posted November 20, 2006 Members Share Posted November 20, 2006 Originally posted by rheemb ...What do you guys think of the Zildian Custom A Mastersound hats? .... I have a 13" pair, and they work fine with just about any genre I'm playing. They have a very distinct "chick" sound, and cut through the mix very well. my two cents. Of course, if they came with a bottle of Grey Poupon, I'd be even happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an insult to the chef! Ketchup is an insult to the chef. Dijon mustard with roast beef just shows you have a little taste. I do it au jus too.
