Learning to master the ankle technique double bass pedals can be way too complicated. But, we can simplify this technique by focusing on two main things. If you practice these two things you will build a smooth, fast ankle technique.
You can play your double pedals comfortably at let's say 150-170 BPM using the full leg motion, but as soon as you try to use the ankle technique your double bass drumming starts to fall apart.
They become very inconsistent, or your legs aren't able to control the motion.
There's a reason for this, usually it's because we cannot physically control them, and the other is because we're trying to play faster than we're able to physically handle.
You need to remember that speed comes with control, and if you can't play this technique at a slower controlled tempo, you're going to have a hard time trying to speed things up.
In this video you're going to learn two main things to focus on when it comes to understanding why you're not able to nail the ankle technique.
