Hi Marthyn! Thank you for this - I have had your Bass Drum mastery course for a while now, but this "twitch motion" explanation and description makes me realise that I am in deed on the right (but been a slow path) to the faster Double Bass, at very little 'effort' with 'extreme endurance' - now just to work on controlling it!! Thank you what an excellent video!! Wishing you best on your road to your left foot recovery!

This is also very motivating for me who want to eventually get to improving my speed on the kicks, whenever life isn't too busy that is haha.

I always have trouble starting the technique and then it aounds better as I get rolling. I slowed the video playback down and payed attention to what his foot does. Pretty interesting and helpful!

Got the new breed in the background? Such a great book

It's genius that you use the travel time to creat content! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I'm glad your left food it's getting there.

One thing that helped me was using the twitch and gradually slowing it down to a controllable tempo then slowly increasing back to fast tempo. Over and over. Thanks Martyn, you're videos are the best out there!

Just simple as that. Thank you Marthyn. You are inspiring and motivating. Love it!!!

Thanks for your insight into the pros of the twitch, I was one of those stuck at 130, slowly balance my control and yeilding results. Fast is fast!

Thank you for the video and the explanation towards the end, I'm more motivated than ever 🤘🏻

Hey Marthyn. Thanks for your insight in these challenge videos. Through this challenge Ive learned so much and over the past week or two Ive been able to more comfortably play at 140 bpm and even reached peaks of 155 to 160bpm 16ths. Ive learned a lot from watching and listening to your advice. Not super clean yet at 160 but thats the goal at the moment. Feels like progress is slower for me personally but despite that I intend to keep going to get better control of my weak foot. I look forward to seeing more of these challenge videos.

Thanks for the video. Again giving me ideas on how to practice. Cheers!

Hi Marthyn! So nice to hear about the "nervous" motion! It seems so nice out of the kit because I actually feel control but feeling frustrated when I try to apply the same motion on the kit. Now I see a chance to seriously apply it on my drumming🤘🏻 Marthyn, do you already uploaded a video explaining this in detail? If not, it would be great! Thanks!!

sensacional😉

Thankyou so much for all of your videos Marthyn. I just set up my spring tension as you suggested and it felt like I had new pedals! I’ve been stomping the crap out of my axis longboards for years instead of “letting the pedal do the work “ as you say. Cheers from Australia 👍

Just got some demon drives and found that this technique has drastically increased my stamina and speed and power at those speeds. Same problem with the left wanting to be quicker than the right. Practice Practice Practice

Love to play triplets at 130bpm. So many great songs are played at this tempo. I use the light weight Trick beaters. Tried the DW ones that came with my DW9000s and ended up back with the metal Trick ones with no weights. Dig this series. Cheers!

Always a pleasure Marthyn. I'm looking forward to hearing about any good advices when you get up to higher tempo's. You give so much good information for lower tempo's and for beginners and middle trained drummers and that's super cool no doubt. But I know how fast you can play and I'm so curious about any advice when we go from 240 BPM and up 😁🤘🤘🤘

how do you keep the beater from hitting the top of your foot with a large beater angle?

hello martyn

Is that a HP200 single chain?! 😮 Hi Marthyn, während ich gerade nebenher auf der Suche nach einem günstigen Pedal für den Proberaum bin sehe ich mir mal wieder eines deiner Videos an, um an meiner Technik zu arbeiten. Aber was? 300bpm mit einem ~200 Euro Pedal mit single chain? Ist das neben deiner Eliminator deine Top Choice für diese krasse challenge, oder möchtest du damit nur zeigen, dass du das auf "jedem" Pedal kannst? PS Ich habe die HP200TW schon im Warenkorb 😂

Hallo Marthyn, kann man auch mal zu dir nach Wien kommen für ein Personal Training? Irgendwo konnte man das mal buchen, finde es aber nicht mehr.

How to get my right foot to stop spazing out. I can't keep steady stream of 8th notes... Meanwhile my left leg is doing just fine.

why is your car backwards?

Why is your kick drum skin so loose? Don't you get better bounce back of the beater if you have a tighter skin? :)

16:52 to 16:55 .... man! That taxi is driving itself without a driver?, or is it a glitch in the matrix?, or there are automatic taxis there... wtf, that was weird!... on the other hand, nice video man! Useful!
