In less than 10 minutes you have explained the logic of many different techniques, and very clearly that is. It's rare to find information so well put, especially on bass drum techniques which are hard to explain ! Thanks so much!

Dude, u r a phenomenal teacher. I love ur channel.

I learned to things from this video: how to play good double strokes, and that I like the shoes he’s wearing.

6 years later and this is still the best lesson on bass pedal techniques. You did an extremely wonderful job of demonstrating all the most common techniques. We will never be able to thank you enough for this!

Thank you so much for this lesson, at 60 years of age I have just started playing drums for fun, being a singer guitarist for most of my life, I needed a new challenge and your help is very welcome, you deserve more subscribers.

Thanks for this, my drum kicks is improving

I have been searching the internet for videos like this but nothing really helped you definitely put it more into perspective for me and explained it better on how to do the different forms of slides. So thank you very much.

You are the best drum teacher !!!!... you got the gift!!!

This was SUPER helpful for me. Thanks for breaking it down (and demo-ing) in a way that was easy to understand.

For me it's heel up slide technic!! FTW 🏆🏆

I have been searching for some simple, clear and precise lessons for these two bass drum techniques. Thank you!

Brilliant idea with the shaking reflex! It helps to not think about the motion.

This was so clear, brief, and helpful - exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Love the way you teach! You are a great drummer and a great teacher, thank you so much for posting all these valuable teachings for free, it's such a blessing, bless you

My brother loves to watch videos like this. he says i should tell him that you have finally cleared his mind about some bass drum technique which he struggled with before

Thanks for answering every question I ever asked to myself about bass drum ! And your website is excellent too, thanks for sharing so much learning material.

Actually you are the best teacher on KZfaq, And thank you so much.

As always concise, straight to the point and clear demonstration of technique. Thank you.

Honestly by far the best video I've seen on how to play your bass drum. When I practice tomorrow I will use your tips to improve my playing technique. I've watched a lot of videos on Slide and Heel Toe technique and how they're working. But yours is the best!

Lots of clear, concise, and understandable ideas on how to master the technique that suits you. Mickey, definitely A++ for being a teacher. The way you extend your information, you give off a vibe that me as a student is feeding off of and makes me feel at ease and not overwhelmed, confident and not having anxiety. Watching your methods, I'm still trying to figure out how Thomas Lang just flat out annihilates the bass drum, it's really cool but he does it so fast. Even on slow motion I can't tell and I'm only bringing that up here because he has yet to respond so I mean no disrespect. Thank you and have a good one ...

I'm a beginner, so I like the simplicity of the exercises you give. And also the idea of nothing wrong or right. Thanks☀️

Dude...you are an awesome teacher! The video is structured thoughtfully and not crammed with too much information. Thank you for this!

An excellent lesson on this valuable topic. It has really helped me understand how to practise these techniques. Thank you.

Hello. I am from Brazil and here there are really great drums, but few who teach with such ease and accuracy. Bull Jean-Guillaume said all about you. Too bad you can't come to my country to teach. Great teacher.

Great explanation. Its a matter of time, patience and practice. I'll try. Thank you sir.

What a great explanation. I wish all youtube lessons were like this one.

Hands down, the best bass drum technique video I've seen! Thank you!

Another awesome lesson. Thank you so much.

great foot and control of all techniques. i am 70 years old and still playing. when i started there was no place to go to pick up this info but people like you put these beginners up the road in no time. great lessons for free.

This is easily the best video I’ve found on basic bass techniques. As a beginner most of the videos are either focusing on advanced concepts, or they contain way too much filler and explain things poorly. Your videos are superb, thanks for not filling them with junk and just getting to the point. Likewise your videos on drum notation were amazing.

Wow.. The techniques were super educational... God bless.. 👍

8:03 That changed my life. Better then anything I've tried.

Thank you. You explain and show clearly. 👍

Dude... By far best video I've seen on this subject. Thanks a lot.

Thank you. Excellent for beginners.

No prob. Im a self taught drummer. Thats has been for over 10yrs. Now ive started implimenting the teachings of various drummer instructors.Many cant explain the very basics of some techniques. You i find getting straight to the core if what is needed to execute stroks. Thanks for sharing and ill continue watching and learning. For drumming is an infinte voyage.

Your videos are awesome, and you are an excellent teacher! Thank you!!!

Man this video is excellent, gotta check all your videos because as a percussionist (play timbale, bongo, conga, maracas etc) I need to learn how to play the drum set very well. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Excellent, perfectly explained and pdfs included. My new favourite drum channel. Well done and thank you!

Amazingly useful and clear video, thanks!

Since discovering double bass drums in Black Metal, was curious about the simple mechanics of it. This helped, thanks.

Back the truck up! I'm a beginner drummer and I just started working on a quick 1/16 double kick. I've been working on it for over a day. I could do it but my timing would get all messed up. I just tried the heel toe and I literally got it right away! It's almost like the 2 separate motions with my foot help me separate the notes. I'm sooo pumped now! Thank you man!

Finally a video that really teach in a easy way to understand. Your video is not like other poor stuff here in KZfaq. Thanks.

Simple explanation and straight to the point. Wow.

Man, u opened my eyes on that last technique...the "shake." Pretty cool dude.

Exellent way of demonstrating!

These are actually the best Drum Lessons I've ever seen on KZfaq. Thanks!

Incredible video. Thank you! You really have a great talent for explaining things simply and with variations to suit taste. Keep it up!!

Thank you for having a video with actual information on this subject, very helpful

Totally helpful and easy to understand. Well done

1:20 2:13 4:10 4:57 7:53

I really like how structured your lessons are! Even though i have been playing for quite some time, i can always find something (sometimes many things) in your videos to improve my drumming :-)

Great lesson! As a new drummer, this couldn’t be better explained. Good job!

This was awesome!!!, I understood it very well and it helped me so much! Thank you 😃

All you need to know on the bass drum in 10 min lesson....Great Video !! Thank you =)

Great lesson & that snare sound is to die for!

I enjoyed the lessons made it simple with some good Technics for the different ways two approach the double beat on the bass drum. I will apply the Technics to my playing Great teacher.

Thank you for breaking the bass drum techniques down. I really appreciate it. I have been working on the idea of how to practice NOT burying the pedal so to achieve a good double. I’ve found it’s better for pocket timing to not bury and have the foot ready to drop VS having to lift and stroke. If you made a video or hit me up with a paid lesson with a good exercise to practice this idea I’d gladly contribute!

What an amazing explanation in one place! You rock, dude!

One of the best ive seen so far

Great Teacher ! Thank you

Thanks, I will give it a try.
