Close the hi-hat!!! Other than that, they were hittin pretty hard!
They are probably east coast. we always leave the hi hat open.
WOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they was KILLIN
I dont think its an east coast thing. I think its an "Im un-aware how annoying I sound right now" type of thing. Its also a cheap way and a sloppy attempt to sound big during the high part of a song. If you play the right notes in the right manner, then you wont have to bang on open hi hats like a maniac. If youre gonna do that, then it should be done in a hard and solid groove.
