Questions & AnswersJOEL SIEGEL: So, with the rim shot, like we said and demonstrated, it can be in the center when you're doing the open snare sound. But you can also get a lot of nice variation of sound and color when you start to move where the bead of the stick is striking the head. So, you have in the center it sounds like this. You move out a little bit and you get a different sound. You move it even further out and get a nice high sound. All these different sounds are going to help you incorporate, there's Latin flavors and--not always necessarily Latin flavors if that's what you hear, feel free to incorporate into your sound.
