I am relatively new to drumming and have been struggling a little playing closed hats. When I have the pedal pressed down there is a VERY fine line between closed "just right" and too much (where the cymbals just clang instead of ring). I spend more time focused on the pressure applied by my left foot then I do focusing on other aspects of the song I'm trying to play. Am I missing something in the set-up or is this normal? I watch other drummers play and it seems as though when they open the hats and go back to closed they still have the perfect chick sound each time (without variation). Is it possible to just put full pressure down and still have that slight separation?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
