Hi Hat Choke Coordination and Exercises

Here is a lesson on how to develop clean and precise hi hat chokes. This technique is great for playing both long and short notes as well as adding color to any groove, fill or solo. I show you how to develop this technique using a few different coordination sequences as well as some rhythms from my book Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion. The equipment used in the video is as follows: Bass Drum - Peavey Radial 1000 22" x 16 " Snare Drum - Pearl 14"x5" Free Floater with a maple shell Cymbals Sabian 13" HH Hi Hat Cymbals Sabian 22" Ralph Peterson Ride Cymbal The microphones are two Sennheiser MKH 800 Overheads and an AKG D112 on the Bass Drum
