keep your fingers loose and flick your wrist down really fast. the stick shoul bounce twice. as for the pedal, open it right when you hit the hi-hat, and quickly close it a split second after u hit it. you could do this with your left hand, if you want to hit the ride cymbal or something with your right hand.
does that help at all? i've never taught anyone b4 so its hard to explain
