Applying Moeller strokes
Accents on every beat in eighth note beats
When you add (hihat) accents to your playing, your groove deepens. You'll get a wide sound with a stronger time feel.
Some musical styles, however an ever pumping hihat pattern fits better.
Listen to how drummers play the hihat in different styles!
The 8:th note beat
Accent the quarter notes and play the off-beat (&) unaccented.

Improvise, use what you learned so far and use snare/bass drum patterns from lesson 4 and 6 !
Accent every fourth note
There are two way of playing this (check out lesson 8):
1. Alternating hands (RLRLRLRLR...) with right hand on snare drum.

Train beat
Yepp! Adding accents to a string of 8:th notes on snare sounds somewhat like a steam train.
