Playing a Disco Beat with Quad High Hat Lifts

JOEL SIEGEL: Okay, so let's take a closer look. We'll take a look again what the foot is doing with this disco beat, and I'll give you a taste of it then we'll play it together, okay?

Alright, you're ready for your first gig with that disco band you're always talking about.
