This Is The Cross Stick Drum Lesson
Welcome to the cross stick drum lesson. If you want to know how to play a cross stick on the drums then you are about to find out!
Cross sticks are sometimes called rim clicks or, incorrectly, rim shots. These are played on the snare drum and give as a softer alternative to a back beat on the full snare.
They allow drummers to offer more dynamics within a song as well as offering more sonic options when. approaching a groove.
I consider this to be an essential technique for any drummer.
Another common but tricky technique is the buzz roll.
