Hi folks I need your advice please on the correct approach to this song.
My main issue is with the cow bell. I have it positioned on the bass drum so it's central to me.
The difficulty I have is knowing the correct way to play this. I'm finding that I have to play the hi-hat with my *left* hand, in order to keep the cow bell beats going on each beat.
This is completely throwing me as in most songs the hi-hat is played with the right hand.
I've tried the other way around, but this means I'm playing the cow bell alternately with left and right hands, while keeping the snare going on the off beat - also a bit tricky for me.
I'm wondering which is the recommended way to play this.
After looking at a couple of youtube videos, none of these people seem to be playing it completely accurate to the original song.
