Here is a pattern that is going to incorporate kind of a straighter hi hat beat, the swing
of this one really is going to come from the bass drums and you'll see what I mean because
we are just playing this on the hi hat. There is really no swing there so it is going to
come from the bass drum and sound like this. So as you can see I am not really opening
up the hi hat on that last note too much, really just...and I can really bury it, I
can also play this, I don't particularly like this sound quite as much so I just prefer
to have it played sloshy is the way it is played. Depending on the tempo of this, depending
on the musical context, there is a whole different number of ways you might play that hi hat
opening so it is good to not just say this is how I play my open hi hat. You have to
listen to the music and you have to know where it is that you are playing.
