    Do you use alternate sticking when you can’t quite do what was originally done.

    Hi Hat Cymbal Sizes...What's your preferred hi hats size ?

    Played 13s for years and that won't change, but I have some new hand made cymbals on their way to me that includes 14 hats. They will be played as a jazz set.
