Simple and effective hihat strategies
Here's a little video for those of you who wonder what concepts underlie simple & effective hihat lines. It's elementary drum programming for the top end of your track, and in Ableton Live we show the most simple controls to pay attention to to make it all work together.
Next week we'll look at part 2, the processing and EQ of these hihats.

This channel is so dope; clear/practical,and I always leave with something I'm excited to try. Some channels are great for how-to's that involve a lot of button -clicking in ableton, but with this channel I get not only that but a deeper understanding of why I'm doing what I'm doing. It breeds independence in my work. I'm still quite new to producing and it can be pretty over-whelming at times, but these videos have given me such productive avenues to go down. So thanks for the tutorials, I'm sure many feel the same as I do about them!

Kick and clap
The goat of tutorials, this is fire as a beginner, love it
I'm new to this and I feel like I'm skipping years of experimentation. You're covering practically everything I was confused about, please keep up these great videos. You're making a difference for a lot of people.
Man that Ghost note clap does SO MUCH for the simple four on the floor pattern, excellent tip :)
Videos like this show why this is the best music production channel on KZread at the moment IMHO

Hihat gears trick is great. It really helped making loops less boring by adding nuances while keeping the main beat/mood stable. Thank you for revealing such a hidden gem.

That trick with the delay is gold!! Thanks a lot for this

I learn music, production AND how to use the tools (Live, synths)...all in one! Thank you pal!
I’m in :) I’m sure that even after 20 years if makin beats I can learn something new here :)
All your videos are gold man. Thanks!
I dont make techno but have been making house for many years & already know a gang load of production techniques but i been letting your videos play in the background on my phone when Im not in the studio & it never fails to inspire me ! you're an inspirational dude & a great teacher! congratulations!
Thank you Oscar. You are a gem. God Bless
Frequency shifters are my favorite tool for drums, and I probably use them on hats more than anything else. It's amazing how they can pull together various different sounds and make them sound like they're from the same kit, if not the very same sound just played differently, especially with some of the tricks you can do with freq shifters.
Amazing video as always, Oscar. What I appreciate most of all is that, apart from explaining the basics, you focus a lot on how to make things sound more interesting/organic and that's just what I needed personally. Really pumped up to try these new dynamics. Thanks!!
Excellent, thank you for so clear explanation!!!
Drum sets are infinitely customizable. You can indeed have open and close hi hats at the same time! But it is a good thing to understand how a single hi hat works.
Glad your channel is really taking off O-Dogg

High hats were the bane of my existence 😩 when starting out programming them. Great tutorial, appreciate the time you took to make these and can't wait for the next one Oscar 😀👍 Also I make Hip hop beats once in a while like Njuabes and will experiment with that genre too.
the best thing about these vids is the short recap at the end. Thank You :)
best video for writing groovy HHs

100% usefull and magic... I was looking for pro hihats... this pair of video is one more time a must have
couple min video long will take me like 2 days of studing :D thanks for sharing that was what i was looking for for around a year. I've never thought that hihats are so importand, and hard to process to sounds rich.
I'm never disappointed when I finish one of your videos. keep it up
I really appreciate that you've made these videos available for free, because this is helping me massively to learn ableton over the summer before I start my college course. All the best brother
Oh man I love you! So glad I found this channel
great video as always! thanks man.
Just discovered you today - already I really appreciate your clear and comprehensive tutorials. It really is valuable stuff for any producer!
Always on point on every topic. Well done Oscar!
I love everything you post, you explain everything so clearly. I feel I learn so much every time I watch some of your videos. Too bad I'm at work now and my computer is at home 🤣
Word....loved the vid and song at the end...peacccccce
Really fresh fried hihats 🤙🏽🤪 love the M1 feeling!💥🙆🏻♀️💕🎊

Hi Oscar excelent video as usual, thank you so much !
Been watching several of your videos these couple of days. I have no background in music, expect being a huge fan of techno and I started DJing as an amateur on and off. I've always loved the idea of getting into techno music DJing and production eventually. Things seems overwhelming at first sight but your videos are by far the best ones to grasp the essence of what techno production is about. Once I finish the free online resources, I'll definitely enroll in your course!
Very useful tutorial, thank you brother

God damn..The jackin hi hat technique is something I've never been able to figure out from trying analyse other tracks. Why in all the tuts I've watched has this never been explained? You sir are a legend. Would be great If youve done further hat technique tuts for house , tech house , deep house etc.
Great video, hi hats are so crucial to getting the feel right.
Enjoyed the lesson. Like your teaching style. Thanks!

The jacking house part left me confused, because I couldn't figure out why the closed hats cancel the open ones when we can easily, for example, play a kick and a snare at the same time. Cool rabbit hole to research for myself though. If anyone else is wondering, research the subject of choke groups, and keep in mind that Ableton silently automatically adds them to the 808/909 core kits. You can check them out by opening the chains for the drum rack, which reveals a hidden button, labelled I/O, which once activated shows you the choke groups. Horrible UX design, but a fun adventure in learning for me, I'm glad you didn't explain it so I can do some of the work myself, lol.
This is GOLD !
This tutorial helped a lot!!! much appreciate it.
Definitely gonna book a session with you next month. Nice shirt by the way.
Straight to the point, and translated the theme very ice🙏💯
