Roger Taylor is one of my favorite drummers and one of my biggest drum influences. This is my way of playing one of his trademarks, the backbeats with the open hi-hat. I open the hi-hat by using my heel when playing the snare drum. Roger says it is involuntary for him, sometimes he also plays it a little before the backbeat. I recorded a CD with my band Quebra-Cabeça and I used this idea in various songs.
