Looking For A New Challenge? Try Open-Handed Playing!

Let's get rid of one of the most common misconceptions when it comes to playing drums: Playing the hi-hat with your left hand is NOT only for left handed drummers!
By simply swapping your hands while playing grooves and fills you can strengthen your independence and enhance your technical abilities regarding your weak hand. Without learning any new figures and patterns you will achieve a huge boost for your drumming vocabulary without even noticing it.

Playing open-handed also opens up new orchestration paths and groove possibilities. For example adding tom hits to a groove or playing fills without loosing the back beat is a lot easier if you don't have to cross your hands.
