I may not be seeing it correctly but it seems that the stick shoulder is striking *across* the hi hat bow. By that I mean the stick does not point toward the bell but somewhat chops across the bow at an angle.
Is that correct? Should the hi hat be farther away so the stick contact is more like the usual arms crossed sticking?
I’m wondering what is considered the correct technique.
Thanks for the video. I notice starting at :53 that the hi hat hits are similar to the OP’s. That is, hitting across the bow and not having the stick point at the bell. The video starts with the sticks pointing to the bell but changes to across the bow later.
So, I guess striking across is quite normal and should not be considered incorrect.
