Beach Boys Special, The - Dennis, Aren't We Forgetting Something?
Dennis Wilson plays the drums through out the whole movie with his left hand hitting the Hi-Hat. Unless he was left handed, he would not play this way. Even if he was left handed, he could have reversed the set!!!!! He should of had is left hand to hit the snare, not the High-Hat....I'm sorry. No one understands!!!
The Beach Boys are the greatest, Dennis Wilson can play any way he wants. He may like playing that way or whatever, people do have their own playing styles and when they do it their way, it sounds better. Thank you.
I've played the drums for about ten years, and know that you can play either way. The most common way, though, is to play with your arms crossed, the right one over the left one, with the right arm playing the hi-hat. But again, there's nothing wrong with playing the drums as Dennis did, especially if you learned to play all by yourself.
I am a Beach Boys/Brian Wilson fan - have studied the Beach Boys music and history for years, and can tell you in fact, that Dennis Wilson played reverse from most drummers. Right hand on the snare and Left on the hi-hat.
