Tired of having my left arm locked up under the right one when playing hi hat. Or maybe just wanting to innovate.
Too lazy/old/stupid to learn to play the other way around i.e. classical open handed.
Too much married to spend money on the drum kit first and find out if it was a good idea afterwards.
I've been thinking about this for a while. This may be the cheapest and easiest solution.
What if I buy a (Yamaha in my case) remote hi hat cable/pedal and simply swap the hi hat and the floor tom? Then I can play open handed and can still play 16ths on the hi hat with the snare just next to it, without investing in a second pair of hats.
Did anyone try this? Is there a catch?
