I absolutely love hearing and seeing you playing the hihat as it is so rarely used. Yet, just by existing, a hihat begs to be used like this. It frees up the right hand for all kinds of other rhythms and strokes !!
Many thanks for teach us all this techniques for the Hi Hat, and you have all the reason when you say that the HI Hat is the more important element of the drums or something like this . . . !
The way you describe the mechanics and reiterating how important relaxed technique is… I find so unbelievably helpful for me to comprehend and apply. And the there is an immediate difference in my stress, muscles, and most importantly my feel and time improve! Thanks so much for this!
Great tutorial, sir! Could you do a tutorial on getting into the salsa/rumba ostinatos with the left foot clave? I have always found that extremely difficult .
Dear Rick, very nice video, thanks a lot! You technique is great and you have the ability to explain it very well, congrats! i will write you about buying your book. Do you know if i can find it here in Brasil? Kind regards, Aluízio.
Hi Thank you for your kind words. I have sent many books to Brazil but the book is also available in electronic form if you do not want to deal with shipping costs. You can email me at rickdior@gmail.com and I will tell you how to order it.
You're a wizard Rick!! Definitely going to work on these

Watch my Afro Cuban Drum Set videos. You will find demonstrations of many of the grooves in my book in this style.

Mr., how the hell do you tune your snare like that? What a badass tuning and playing! More power to you, sir!
If I tried to practice this for the next 10 years, I'd probably have enough learning left for another 10.
Great video and great examples. So Much garbage out here.
