K-60 Drum Key

Product Information

If you play with this cymbal setup, you'll need to play any crash 2 in the sheet music with your crash 1. 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.

A square note head indicates that this drum is supposed to be played on an electronic drum (or pad). Additional toms aren't often used in mainstream music, but you will come across these from time to time. In our sheet music, we use the Z symbol on the note stem to clearly indicate when you should use buzz strokes over diddles. 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! Both directors are full time Pipe Band Drumming Instructors and professional percussionists with the Glasgow Police Pipe Band and world famous bagpipe rock group The Red Hot Chilli Pipers.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. All of our premium sheet music includes a song-specific drum key on the top of the first page for each song. 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. Other keys come with quirky features such as the Evans magnetic key which clings onto tension rods as you loosen them or the Wincent bottle opener drum key which arms you with arguably the two most important tools a drummer needs on a gig. The simplest ideas are the best and Ahead just keep on delivering with their simple, but effective ideas.

If something on your kit can’t be adjusted by a drum key then the likelihood is you’re not meant to touch it. The tip of the stick strikes the drum head, generally just off-center, and the shaft of the stick strikes the rim. Start the section with a slightly loose hi-hat, and gradually loosen the hi-hat tension for all of the strokes under the dotted line.We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. Relaxed: Play the hi-hat with a 'relaxed' tension, allowing the hi-hat cymbals to reverberate slightly.

A stroke played with the butt of the stick against the rim while the tip of the stick remains resting on the drum head. Loosen hi-hat: The technique is a commonly used technique to "build" into a section of the song or transition between two parts. See the video example above for "Buzz roll/Closed roll" for an example of how to play a "buzz" stroke.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. The stick you're playing the grace stroke with should start about 2 inches above the drum head while the primary stroke starts in normal position.
