Ghost notes are silent but deadly. If done properly, they make a world of difference within a groove. I've been working on ghosting myself and it's becoming habitual when I play. I actually prefer ghosting over busy hi hat patterns. It just sounds better to my ears.

....Oh snap!! I like this dude's playing. He's even working the hihats with his foot. Look out!!! I can see the JHaynes influence as well. This dude is going to the top.

He gets two snaps and a twist!!!

DAT BOY CAN PLAY!!!!! I love the way he remained composed laying down the groove and the solo in the Shed.

Truth be told, I don't think this guy is any better than DrummaSheen. Maybe I need to hear more, but I was definitely more impressed with what I heard from Sheen than him...
