I was lucky enough to see JR playing up close years ago and I noticed his fingers on his right hand playing the hi-hat were wrapped around the stick so much that it looked as if he was using them to pull the stick away from the the surface!! Anyway the twist was there. And he was so smooth I have been trying to work it out for far too long. Thanks drummerman
Dude you are a great teacher and an excellent teacher with a great sense of humor! Ive wanted to play metal and beat my drums to death, but the older I get the more I appreciate the finesse and skill it takes to play with smooth fluidity and precision. Your channel is a great place to start my journey. Thank you!
Hi Ruben, I love your channel, your ability to dig deep into Gadd and other drummers, and your sense of humor. Thank for all you do! I’m actually gonna be in Amsterdam this June 23 and 24. Can’t wait to visit your gorgeous city.

Cobham talks about “stinging” his cymbals. I think this video is about stinging the heads too.
Nice!
Dang Ruben, you have a really nice feel, sound and solid foundation when you play that example!❤
Thank so much Floyd!!!!greetz
