You can also do this but rest your heel back on the second hit and tap with toes to finish, that's how I get 3 notes!

Lol whatever works for your body chemistry is just fine as long as youre making the same note

Love it! What do you mean by working on singles in a heel-down position? Like just do lots of single bass exercises with heel down to develop strength? Even if I play heel up? Cheers!

@DrumApe Жыл бұрын

Hi yes, that will develop strength and endurance which will help you greatly once you switch back to heel up. Faster singles mean faster doubles later on. Cheers!

How tight does the spring need to be?

@SuperDeverick 3 ай бұрын

So this is just one of 2 widely known techniques for a double stroke on the bass drum. This is called the "slide" technique. The other technique is called "heel toe" technique. Cobus Potgeiter's drum covers are a masterclass in the "heel toe" technique. Great demonstration!

@DavidHall-zo8eg 2 ай бұрын

I use the heel toe technique. If you master either of these two, it's very rewarding for the drum fills you're able to do.

@DavidHall-zo8eg 2 ай бұрын

I believe the heel toe is easier to master than the slide technique.

@inlovewithmycar Жыл бұрын

Is slide technique doable with not burying the beater

@DrumApe Жыл бұрын

I'd say it's possible, but might put more tension on the leg as a whole. What I've shown here is good to get you started, but you might have to tweak it along the way. Cheers

@jimboscustoms Жыл бұрын

So smooth looking ive never really found my sweet spot with pedal adjustments your better looks set far back does that help?

@DrumApe Жыл бұрын

Yes I think having it far back is much better because that way it has more inertia and it is easier to make the hits. That way you play with the pedal and the beater rather than with your leg. Buddy Rich famously practiced with the spring detached to develop the rebound. While I think that’s extreme it gave me the idea of having a bigger amplitude to help with power and endurance. Also this way the spring can be more loose and you don’t have to fight it as much. Hope that helps.

How can the leg not get exhausted by this? You’re holding it up in the air? Or am I missing something

@DrumApe 11 ай бұрын

It does get tired but it gets better with time. Playing with your ankles is way more efficient so you end up saving a lot of energy in the end.

@haypayne8937 Ай бұрын

Performance drumming is tiring --- Don't worry, you will get stronger if you stick with it. Never never should your bass drum heel touch the ground at any time. Even at address, just sitting at a drum set. If you are going to play double bass, both heels up ! Drive that power into your step !

Eh.. it helps more to wear steel toe combat boots laced up tight and play until the boots are wore out.. then go to a tennis shoe or running shoe that ends before the ankle.. that first time you play with the new light shoes youll be amazed at how easy it is for you. And invest in a good driven pedal or like an axis pedal that has the extra wide area.. or say fuck it and get a double action pedal or triggers..

@Huskerguy316 8 ай бұрын

Doubles in the foot are the same as doubles in the hands. Shouldn’t really be that much movement of the arm/legs. Control the bounce and let the drum do the work for you. Imagine you are tap dancing when playing bass doubles and focus on developing the fast twitch muscles of your calf and toes.
