I don’t think there’s any amazing playing technique wise, but it’s quite sophisticated composition wise (lots of ghost notes and chromatic runs as I mentioned), not just following the root note of the chord

#42

You definitely hit the snare with your right if you’re playing 16ths like that no?

Yes just tapped it with my fingers. You lose a hi-hat beat but that’s normal. If you programmed it you’d keep the hi-hat which would sound ‘off’ but hard to tell why

#43

If you’re RH you’re leading with your right, so to hit the snare when playing semiquavers you sacrifice a hi hat, like Theo said.

Like this.

Yeah, I found some videos of people playing Rio and it’s always a right handed strike. I suppose you have easier access to the crash doing it like that (assuming you strike it on the one) otherwise you have to cross your hands. It just feels really awkward to me

#45

It just fits with the RLRL pattern. You can essentially leave your left on the hi hat and have your right free to hit the snare, crashes, go over the ride, round the kit for little fills, etc.

The Chauffeur is a tune, eh? This is probably the last album i’d of ever thought of actually listening to but it has some decent stuff on it.
