After taking up drums again after a 25+ year hiatus, I'm relearning everything from scratch. On one hand, I'm stunned at how little coordination I have. On the other, I'm amazed how after 4 days of playing, it's actually coming back.
Anyway, I've figured out that I'm a heel-up player on the kick. I'm not sure about the hi hat, though. Does anyone play heel-up? Is that a technique at all, or is that way too weak to hold the hats closed? Any pros and cons to doing it one way or another? Thanks.
