Cymbal articulations are the set of nuances related to the way we play the Hi-Hat or Ride cymbals: which notes are accented, how are the accents supposed to be played, how open or close is the Hi-Hat.

In playing a hybrid Drum Set there are three main challenges: 1) Getting used to the specific response and rebound of electronic pads. 2) Effortlessly moving back and forth between acoustic and electronic drums. 3) Playing rhythms that involve both acoustic and electronic sounds simultaneously. The exercises we are going to work on are devised exactly to address these situations, and help us become comfortable no matter what the setup.
Today entry level gear is so affordable that there is no reason why we shouldn’t set up our own personal studio in the space where we practice. Let's discover how to start building it.

The chain of sound influences the quality of the final result according to two principles:
1) It’s the weakest link that most affects the overall quality.
2) The first links have much greater weight.
Let's discover how to record beautiful sounding drum tracks using this concept.
