Practicing to a metronome and practicing at speeds just outside your comfort zone is sooooooo important man. I remember being stuck 150-165 bpm until I started doin small bursts at 170, felt all the muscles tightening up and burning. Then after awhile you gain the strength to control that speed and you repeat. Doesn’t happen fast but that’s how you do it!

any tips for switching from full leg motion to ankles? it throws everything off when I try to go to ankles.
@bladelazoe 2 жыл бұрын
@@insertmetalusernamehere I ran into the problem too, the the thing with ankle motion is you can't do it at slow speeds as it naturally wants to go fast. Practice the ankle motion in the 150-165 range. Just get used to the 'bounce' motion if you will. It took me quite awhile to get used to the motion in order to control it. Do small bursts at first, like maybe 3's or 4's or 5's. Then gradually try to extend that so your playing just a little bit longer. Another one you could do, practice going from 8th notes to 16th bursts then back to 8th notes again but do that exercise for 3-5 mins. The switch from leg to ankle motion, at least when learning it is very frustrating at first. But you'll get the hang of it eventually.

I can't overstate what a huge game changer working on my weak side was lately. I'm still at the beginning but it improved *everything* , consistency, tightness, speed. I literally feel a change in my body and how I perceive it, as my weak left side gets stronger and more confident. Weird experience. I spend at least a quarter of practice on just improvising grooves, leading with the weak side, doing everything that feels wrong until it starts to feel right. Rudiments also helped immensely with both hands and feet.

The over practice one is the most important. Was practicing every day at some point and at reached a phase where i was starting to lose speed and shit and that fucked me up. Recently due to school and other things that have occured i have been at a very bad mental state and hadn't played for like a month or so. Sat behind the kit for the first time in a month and god fucking damn i managed to play lucifer incestus, once upon the cross, some morbid angel songs and in general *fast as fuck shit* i used to not be able to even touch. Take breaks, long ones if needed, its very beneficial.

Samus, you are an indispensable WEALTH of drum knowledge, skill, feel, approach, (add more here), to the WORLD drumming community. I’m not going to sob story and all, but I was a drummer from age 12 to about 10 years ago, age 33. Metal and Jazz by the end of my playing, go figure it was those two styles right?! Anyway, I was born with a neurological disorder that of course progresses as I age. And at first it was just severe pain in my spine, like the whole spine not just my low back or tailbone from a shitty throne. That progressed into limb dysfunction, arms and legs (which ended my drumming) then into losing my hand dexterity (which ended my art career). Long story long, I basically lost my ability physically (not mentally) to continue my arts and career. Which were teaching art and drumming. Now I’m locked in a battle with the state since 2017 suing them for wrongful denial of assistance because the paralysis, by itself, should have qualified me for disability assistance. So I literally vicariously live through the artists I follow and admire. And being a drummer and teacher and metal as fu_k, you are quite the continuing bright spot in the arts that have faded out in my life and I needed to say thank you. Being unable financially to become a member of yours, I didn’t know if you’d see this or whatever, but Goddamnit I’m still putting this out there! So Samus, Thank You for just being you and sharing it with the world. You help cheer me up and it is apparent you do so for a lot of people. You are an amazing artist, and one of my favorite drummers of all time. PS, as soon as my attorneys and I successfully sue the state and I do win my case appeal judgment and I start getting disability assistance, I WILL be becoming a paying member of yours. Thanks Again! j

The best advice that I ever got when playing with a metronome and this works for any instrument is to accent the 1ste note of the metronome. You can very clearly hear it in oldschool metal guitar where the first note is accented every 4th/8th note if its continues alternate picking. This will help you build the pulse of the song but I found that it will also help me to unconsciously keep track of where in the beat/rhythm I am.

If I may add another tip: write out your drumpatterns in notes. Write each foot/bass drum as a separate instrument, this will give you some insights into what foot should play which notes. Especially if you've played with a single bass drum and only one pedal, as then you are used to having the right foot do the off-beat hits as well. Writing some patterns out will help you see when each individual foot should be playing (usually right on-beat and left off-beat) and should help out spreading the work load between both feet, making the difference in control between them smaller too. No need to write entire songs, just some parts or specific patterns should do the trick.

@@keithbarnes9419 its ok to alternate 8th notes when starting out. the eveness between left and right foot needs to be developed... but at somepoint you must play 16th notes and higher subdivisions, which will requre more speed from each indivual foot. so having good 8th notes with one foot will be important.. but it depends on your drum progress

I think a really good song to practice getting used double bass is the intro to Dream Theater-Under a Glass Moon. It’s fairly slow and only uses 4 16th notes.

Thanks man. This video really helps with my technique I'm taking practice on. Lamb of God double bass action I'm trying to get to and advance to decide dead by dawn.

These are 100% solid points. I had to practice a lot to get my heeltoe triplet feel going, but it's just a must. Control always goes ahead.

Great lesson for us OLD TIMERS. WHO PLAYED DBL KICK. IN THE 70S..not much variety in those days.. Not many DRUMMERS played dbl in those days..so we have to relearn the muscle memory from so many yrs of playing a certain way.. This will definitely help with my technique and stamina when going FASTER..THANKS SOO MUCH.

It finally clicked for me today after giving up on double pedal for 8 years. Could never crack above 140bpm and after tackling it again watching your video I was able to get to 200bpm. Thank you my guy!

DOOD! Masterful teaching, thank you so much! Thanks especially for addressing over-indulging the drumming muscles and frame of mind. Both are SO important for all drummers! :D

Glad i found your video, it inspires me and that 'Do it now' and 14:51 resonated with me so much Thnx.

Very cool video on how to play double bass. I especially liked the overpractice part- you have to put in the hard work to develop your muscles, but always remember that the results comes when you're resting, so why not put in regular resting days in your practice schedule

I replaced the springs on my iron cobras with really thick ones from the hardware store once.. Helped with the speed, but there was a little bounce back on the single kick parts. A wise drumming master you are Samus!!!

Great video Samus. I finally bought the Ded-200 e-kit a month or two ago that you showcased. I am finally getting into being able to drum and this video definitely is enlightening to me.

Im a funk / house music drummer but I ended up buying a double kick pedal from Trick Pedals for my TD50K2 and this video is still helpful for me. The double metal kick style slowed down to 120-130 is what I end up using in my tracks
