Rap & rock is all about the downbeat...great for things with a groove(dancing/f*cking)...the beauty of jazz is after you got your fill and don't want to obssess over the 1...like going for a walk after sex where you de-empasize the down and appreciate every other rhythm of nature...your heart beat, your breathe, the birds, the breeze, the sun, the moon...cycles that make a tapestry of existance...all part of the whole and with greater expanse and subtlety then just 1...2...1...2

i'm not 100% but i think it's just because it gets a smoother sound than using your foot to close the hats. and the "technque" is a simple concept.. just grab it. lol but it's all about applying the right pressure so you get the right amount of "fuzz"

Dude, Its the feeling. Drums dont have to sound good to have feeling. First rule.

I've been in the music business over 40 yrs.And it never seizes to amaze me how much in the Drumming Field you can advance on.When I saw Buddy Rich in person, I expected ALL solos on the drums, instead he did as Max did and Solo'd on the Sock(Hi Hat).reat Job!

This is something I discovered. In order to become a better total drummer, I took my kit apart, and drummed each piece individually. Every hat, cymbal, tom, snare I owned, I worked out on alone. It makes for better solos. Max Roach's Hat work was always a staple in my exercises.
