what's up everybody it's JFilt
from how to make very sick beats dot com if
this is your first time welcome and
today we have a very quick tip for you
guys using hi hats so let's get into it
the question of the day have you ever
accidentally erased or not saved a beat
and what did you do about it I just
experienced that man and I'm trying to
recreate write that down in the comments
below write your comments down below I
need to know I'm not the only one okay
so right now I'm actually trying to
recreate something that I accidentally
erased save your work guys save so
anyways with this tutorial we're working
with hi hats and you can consider this
a continuation of a previous video I did
called the poly mode drum technique
where I played some drums and used poly
mode to just keep repeating and come up
with different drum patterns so I have a
hi hat right here what you can do is
there's a few things you can do you can
either sample some hi hats that have
two hits like this like that right or
you could take some hi hats a single
hi hat and play it twice like I did
here and you sample it I did it a few times
alright so now the next step make sure
it's in poly mode that way it will keep
repeating without cutting itself off
like this okay similar to what i did on
the other video so what I'm showing you
right now is called double strokes and for
you drummers out there yeah I know you
already know this so I ain't talking to
you okay so I got my I got my hi-hat
okay so a double stroke is this
double stroke
rhythm let's do it just with the on
light tapping it like this okay you see
that a lot of drummers use this
technique in the drum playing it's twice is
twice on one hand and twice on the other
hand we're applying that to the hi-hat
one thing that I like to do it here's
another way that I use it is I use hi
hats in 16 levels and so I'm gonna play
a beat for you guys and let you hear what
I'm talking about a simple 2 bar beat
okay here you go see that and actually
you know what that's one I'm going to
put this on and I'm going to use this
velocity velocity 16 level velocity all
right got that you see if I did there
okay so the other way to do it is like i
said before you take that sample with
the two hi hats already in it right
for example i have like that and then
just right there so I'm hitting the pad
twice quickly and that creates or
simulates a paradiddle because I have it
in poly mode you get it so if i take it
out of poly mode watch what happens it
won't work so this just plays it once
see that and it cuts itself off see
that's in mono mode and if i have it in
note off you know that's not going to
help me at all so put it in poly
mode and then you can do that so I'm
hitting it like that and that's creating
a nice paradiddle right you can always
adjust the speed just change the tuning
of it to slow it down and pick it up
if you want able to work or whatever you
want to do so that's the tip that's a
quick tip guys so if you like this video
