K-60 Drum Key

Product Information

Loose HH for several notes: A line placed next to a loose hi-hat cymbal extends the loose hi-hat section for multiple strokes. Featuring a magnetic socket to facilitate a strong purchase on the tension rod and a long T bar for extra leverage on high-tension marching drums. The grace strokes can be achieved by bouncing the stick, or for a more orchestral sound you can play the grace strokes as a buzz against the drum head. All of our premium sheet music includes a song-specific drum key on the top of the first page for each song. The clip allows the drummer on the go to fasten their drum key to almost anything so that its easily accessible and quick to find.

D2 Percussion is a Piping and Drumming tuition and retail business, founded in 2008 by directors David Henderson and David Ross. Additional toms aren't often used in mainstream music, but you will come across these from time to time.The tip of the stick strikes the drum head, generally just off-center, and the shaft of the stick strikes the rim.

In a right-handed flam, the left stick plays a quiet grace stroke slightly before the right stick plays the main, primary stroke. When a modifier is to be applied to many (or all) of the cymbal strokes in a section, we use a "section modifier" to communicate that the entire section should be played a certain way. In the graphic above, the "Open roll (written out)" shows all of the strokes of the roll written out in 32nd-note notation. Featuring the same shape found in the traditional Yamaha wing bolt design used on Yamaha drum hardware. IMPORTANT: If your drums are setup in this arrangement, it's common (and often necessary) to play f loor tom 1 as your tom 2 and floor tom 2 as your floor tom 1 when reading drum sheet music.Usually, the left stick stays stationary while the right stick strikes the left stick (if you're a right handed drummer).

In other words, instead of pressing the hi-hat pedals together tightly, lift up on the pedal a little to allow the cymbals to reverberate when hit. Note on crash cymbals in sheet music: Since every drummer has their own unique cymbal choices and placements, you'll sometimes have to get creative when interpreting drum sheet music.

If you don't have seven toms, you will have to substitute your t om 1 (or another tom) for the additional toms in the sheet music. This creates a fast attack with the open hi-hat, but then chokes the sound quickly by pressing the hi-hat cymbals together.This indicates that the ride should be hit with the shoulder of the stick on the edge of the cymbal.

Designed for convenience and durability, this essential tool ensures easy tuning adjustments, allowing you to achieve the perfect sound for your drum kit. This method keeps the sheet music looking cleaner without the need for multiple loose hi-hat symbols in a row.If slippy drum keys are a regular pain in posterior, jumping out of your hand when you’re fine-tuning that 10-lug Snare, the Ahead GripKey will give you the sticky fingers you seek! The hi-hat splash is achieved by hitting the hi-hat cymbals together with the foot, and then quickly releasing them apart to let them ring out. In the graphic above, the "Buzz roll/Closed roll (written out)" shows all of the strokes written out in 16th-note notation (with buzzes). Relaxed: Play the hi-hat with a 'relaxed' tension, allowing the hi-hat cymbals to reverberate slightly.
