Hey guys,
I've been meaning to ask this for a long time, but I've never really known how to explain it. So, if you close the high hats then lift your foot off very quickly - so your foot is not stopping/slowing the hats from going up in any way - should the hats go up and make a noise? The pedal goes up and stops rather abruptly at the top, causing the pedal to sound out with almost a banging noise (makes the hats ring a little bit too) - completely ruining whatever sound I am going for when playing quickly. Or what should happen in this case? If this is confusing I can make a sound clip (though unsure of where to upload).
As a secondary question - which may make the first irrelevant - when doing quick notes with the foot on the high hat, are you to use your foot on the highhat on the way up to prevent it from making this noise?
If someone has links any videos explaining the technique of using the foot on the high hat, as well as setting it up so it doesn't make this noise I would greatly appreciate it (going above and beyond the call of duty and all that).
thanks!
