In this quick 5-minute lesson, Dom Famularo describes what it means to &#8216;swipe the cymbals&#8217;, how to do it, and how you can incorporate it into your playing.<\/p>\n<p>This cool technique uses the low Moeller stroke to flick the stick up, striking a cymbal from below, before coming back down to strike it again on top. It&#8217;s a great way to get a quick double hit with one motion.<\/p>\n<p>Try it on a splash, crash, or hi-hats. When you accentuate the two hits with the bass drum, you &#8211; in Dom&#8217;s words &#8211; &#8220;give it the punch it was meant to have!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The more you experiment with cymbal swiping, the more new opportunities you&#8217;ll discover. Whether it means changing your setup or trying new grooves, this is one way to add real character to your drumming.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<video src=\"https:\/\/drumeoblog.s3.amazonaws.com\/beat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/11135111\/Dom-Swiping-the-Cymbals.mp4\" autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\"><\/video><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dom plays:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/mapexdrums.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mapex Drums<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sabian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sabian Cymbals<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.evansdrumheads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Evans Drumheads<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.daddario.com\/products\/percussion\/promark\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Promark Drumsticks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Dom:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/global2dom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/domfamularo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Dom-Famularo-157036431032767\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.domfamularo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this 5-minute quick tip, Dom Famularo teaches you a whole new way to attack your cymbals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":17024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4027,4018],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hand-technique","category-technique"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16644"}],"version-history":[{"count":22,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16644\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48236,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16644\/revisions\/48236"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
