Remember when you first learned how to play drums and it always seemed kind of crazy how you had to cross your arms to play the hi-hat and snare? But you just went with it because that’s what everyone else did, and eventually figured out what some of the advantages are.
But there’s certainly other ways to do things. Megadeth’s Shawn Drover is one of many lefty drummers who plays on a right-handed kit, but uses his left hand for the hat and right for the snare. He runs you through his drum setup in this very obviously Yamaha-sponsored video.
