Build your bass drum double strokes on your single pedal with this unconventional method. There is a process I suggest you do first before working on your single pedal double strokes. This video will reveal this unusual process.
It doesn't matter what single pedal foot technique you use, this approach will help you build clean, smooth, fast doubles.

I really like your teaching style and the thought that you put into it for these drills. I started under the recommended 80s and was more like it’s 60s so it would be cleaner. What I did is I would say it several times before I would play, so I would kind of get it established in my head and I’m going to do like you said it’s just let it get that ingrained into the muscle memory before I start moving up. Very cool.

Hey Daniel, thanks for chiming in! I am glad this lesson resonated with you and that you are taking action. Keep at it, be patient, & enjoy the process. The result is inevitable.

Great video, articulation of theory, and demonstration! Playing these patterns in the order prescribed and gradually increasing tempo requires patience and a focus on precision. Putting in the time and effort is well worth it. For me, it resulted in cleaner and much more reliable bass drum hits. Thank you, Marco!

I especially have issues with "swung kick doubles" in the "funky president" beat. The second kick comes to soon, or the double is not swung like it should be. But after only a few minutes of your quad exercise these issues seem to be much smaller already! My muscle memory has probably been messed up by speeding up too soon with kick triplets, which I really like in a funk groove. It takes a lot of time and dedication to reprogram my right foot... Your exercises will definately help in this process. THANKS!

Thank you for this video. Awesome! I've always liked the heel-toe technique. Question for anyone who can help: Will striking the first note with your heel affect your knees?

@WholeLottaDrumming 10 ай бұрын

I have been playing heel toe for ever and I have no issues with my knees. thanks for the comment!

Thank you for nice lesson again. When you play four 16 notes, it seems you play two slow doubles, but they sound very even and the same. When I play 4 notes, they also sound like two doubles, but you can clearly hear it. So far I have been unable to make them the same.

Yes, it is a difficult thing to do. But as always, practise, practise, practise and it will get better!

@memeperor_ Жыл бұрын

that’s one of the best ways to practice double strokes in general! just make both notes sound the exact same, in both volume and quality of sound

When you do the triplet doubles, I can see you moving from the side and into the middle of the pedal. Is this intentional? Why does it work for you?

@WholeLottaDrumming Жыл бұрын

I never really made a conscious effort to move that way. It sort of developed on it's own. I was in my teens when I was working on developing my bass drum technique. I remember trying and trying and trying and I would pull it off once in a while and noticed that each time it happened it was when I swivelled the foot. With daily practice, it began to be more frequent until finally it was there all the time. The swivelling of the foot was the only way I can make the pedal do that.
