Introduction to Playing a Disco Beat with Quad High Hat Lifts

Video Transcript

JOEL SIEGEL: Alright, so I mentioned earlier that we're kind of getting into the disco beat. We're pretty much there. We're going to go ahead and kind of go a little bit out of order here. I want you to just go ahead and try this. This is fairly intuitive. You may be able to do it just right off the bat. If not, just slow it down. Take your time, get it worked out. But what we're going to do, we're going to have all four of those lifts in the hi-hat. So, on every upbeat, ug-tsi-tsi-tsi-tsi-ug, okay? And instead of one and three on the kick which we've been using as kind of our basic template for our building blocks here, we're going to go ahead and advance the kick to beats one, two, three, and four, okay? So you can maybe project mentally what's going to end up happening, sound wise, is you're going to have this real kind of back and forth sound from the body, that bottom end of the bass drum and the high end sound of the lift on the hi-hat, okay? And this is what it sounds like. Alright, you could see John Travolta prancing around in just your living room right now probably.
