Just a question but what do you guys use your ghost notes in? I've been trying to play those fancy funk beats with lots of ghost notes in them but I can't really get them out clear enough. Ghost note is just lightly tapping the snare.. but it sounds much easier than it actually is!

It's all about practice man.. Knowing your rudiments certainly help with the stick control.. when practicing try to exaggerate the ghost notes.. play them extra soft but make them crisp at the same time, does that make sense? Also, play things slow at first and work your way up. thatll help you concentrate on your form and technique better rather than trying to play a busy funk beat fast right off the bat.. it takes time patience and a lot of practice
