Thanks buddy that's so helpful

I’m new to all of this, but I think that both hands were meant to be on the hats (not that it matters that much, I suppose) but definitely there were to be no accents played.

[@gmoney9068]

I think Gary may have meant to use both hands on just the one hi-hat for system one. That's my interpretation.

[@rbcrbc7913]

Correct.

[@everynameistaken567]

I think the way its shown here in the video is actually correct. Because there is a note in the book saying both hands are playing at the same time so be careful not to flam. That note wouldn't make sense if it was intended to be LRLR on 1 hi-hat

@@everynameistaken567 Good point.

@@everynameistaken567 I studied with Gary for five years back in the 80's. For this first system you play both hands in unison on one hi-hat not two hi-hats. Also the 16th's are even sounding without any accents. Stewart is accenting the first of every four 16ths here and that's not what Gary wanted. And by the way you can flam on a single surface take for example a practice pad.

@@macvoutie I think he os doing it the he feels comfortable with playing the exercise, for independence, groove and using the 5th limb and taking it slow with quantity over quantity. He is grooving on the exercises and praises the book in many ways so I’m not sure why the criticism here…
