So I'm having a bit of trouble with those fast strings of hi-hat, hi-hat snare, hi-hat, hi-hat snare, etc. Songs like Funky Sonic World, that one American license from V4, Idle Gossip (If Idle Gossip were faster anyway), and Revolution (The ending). I guess people call it a suction pattern. While it doesn't seem hard, my arms almost always die due to cramping and/or stamina. I usually pull my right arm over to get the hi-hat and I kind of repeatedly press the stick with my last 2 fingers every time it bounces and that kind of helps. I learned it from the video below. Video's slow as hell but it helped.
YouTube - how to grip your stick and play fast with one hand

I also can't really do fast strings with my left hand on hi-hat or I'll mess up the tempo. Any suggestions so my arms don't develop some sort of arthritis?
