That was Chriss Slade, now they got Phil Rudd back!...in black 8)photon said:I was watching an AC/DC concert on TV a few weeks back. I don't know who the drummer is (Phil Rudd?) but it appeared to me that he had his hi-hat set up in the ride cymbal position...maybe he had two hi-hats but he appeared to be using that one the most...but that's still not open handed in my opinion.

Open handed playing is very natural position-wise - Gary Chester used to say that if a four year old sat down behind a right handed kit, they would play the hihat with their left hand!

He plays with Gov't Mule. Check out "The deep end vol. 2", it's a two-cd set that comes with a DVD of the concert, including a cool drum solo. My buddy showed it to me and I think my style is similar to Matt's, only he plays open-handed. It's cool.
