As a teacher you're ahead of your time, I think you have to be born with great teaching skills! My 16 year old plays drums and I can't wait to show him this video! Thanks!

I unintentionally learnt this in like 6th grade and I'm just now realising how important a skill it is :0 My younger self did one thing right

Its been 3 months since i first saw this video and started really focusing on a routine for my slide techique. So far im already waaaay more comfortable with it and now my right foot feels much easier to handle. Kept all the tips you gave here. Thank you for that! And for people that may get frustrated with not accomplishing much in the first weeks, don't worry. Just focus on having a movement that is natural and relaxed. Speed and power will come.

Very important to also give yourself a minute or two to relax your legs when exercising this. Otherwise you'll just get too weary and the progress will be slower! Plus it will stress the movement and you may get uncomfortable or get used to doing it wrong when tired

im a bassist so ive spent a lot of time watching drummers. You are a quality teacher. i like the slight volume variation with this technique. its just sounds a little bit groovier than heel-toe imo

I'm very glad! I discovered this amazing video

Best bass drum technique explanation I’ve seen. Thank you!

Great lesson. I like how you explain in detail and why.

It’s a moeller stroke for the kick drum. Heel toe is like the push pull. It’s also similar to a gravity blast with your feet, it’s all the same concept of getting multiple notes per stroke

Awesome explanation of this technique. I've been playing drums for nearly 30 years and developed somewhat of the same technique without ever really noticing it or being able to articulate to someone else what it is that I'm doing. When I think about it, I started playing heel up way back when I would be playing gigs with my band and the house kits throne was too high for me, thus forcing me to play with the balls of my feet in the resting position. I then noticed when jamming at home with my throne lowered down that my kick drum had somewhat of a mushy sound - always thinking that it was my kit that needed improvement rather than my technique. This was in my early teens. Later that same summer, I started making my throne higher so that I could be more on top of the toms rather than to help with my kick drum technique but thinking about it now, it was exactly when I started sitting up higher that all of my skills seemed to improve quite a bit and I began getting all of the ghost notes and accents that I wanted - attributing it all to becoming more skilled over time rather than that simple change in position. Anyway, thanks again for the great video! I'm glad I found your channel!

I remember back in 1991 i was homeless and walking around between sunnyvale and santa clara ca and i heard someone playing the drums. I searched around and found some guy in a sort of garage that had a drumset set up and was playing(to my delight!). I sat for a while and watched him play(i was a very new drummer back then and wanted to learn as much as i could). After a while he showed me the same kind of slide. It sorta reminded me of how your place your feet to do an ollie on a skateboard. I've never been able to master it but always thought it was pretty cool, being a single pedal purist. but i have always played with my heels up kinda high using my whole leg to get a real solid hit, plus being a drummer that played punk/hc punk i liked the feeling of using more of my body to make my hits instead of laying back and being lazy with technique. My inspiration was and still is animal from the muppets so......

This is an awesome lesson on how to do this technique. Have always struggled understanding this. You have made this very clear to me now. Thank you!

Oh my god. . .thank you! I got taught "proper foot position" in high school for heels up. But through the years I've been annoyed at not having the speed that I saw flat foots using. I've never stopped keeping heels up though. Now I have something to actually practice and know why that technique is there. Thanks so much for this video.

Thank you. I just tried it for the first time and it's made a terrific improvement.

Hey, im 14, i started playing drums in Q3 of 2016, my teacher told me to use the heel toe, i didn't develop a good feeling with that, and i tried this put, works like a charm :)

Great lesson, very easy to follow and learn from! Thanks

That is the best explanation of heel up I've ever heard. Thank you. I will surely work on that.

Thanks for the great insight - I've marked this video as "favorite" for continued reference, and I'm now subscribed. Great job.

Great Lesson! I've played single bass all my life but the fact is, I should've expanded my bass foot technique many years ago. If I had, I'd been a better drummer. I'm 63 and I stopped playing 12 years ago... WHY?! Recently, I realized I could get an e-kit and even if I'm not playing with any bands anymore, I could stay in shape, (best cardio workout, ever!). So I just dropped about $900 on an e-kit, (plus an amp so I can take off the headphones once in a while), and the first thing I'm going to do when it gets here, is start practicing those kicks! Thanks again, Rich

Great tutorial Luke!!! I'm just starting to really break down drum techniques (I'm a bassist by trade) and this helped me tremendously!!! Thank you!!!

The drum beat on Creep by Radiohead uses a quick double and I’ve been dying feeling like I can’t naturally get that first kick drum note out. I’ve been practicing a lot but decided to look up if there were any techniques I could use to help me. I’m so glad I found this video!! After getting the technique down a little, I realized this was the exact same motion I would make with my feet when I was bored sitting in my middle school classes. I’ve been practicing the samba you showed in the video, and my drum game has completely changed from watching this. Gonna practice this for many months to come!

One of the, if not THE, best explanations of this I have seen online. I know at higher speeds the 2 actions meld together but would you say even at the highest bpms you are still pushing down on the first note with the toes? In others words it is just NOT a single scooping movement at the higher speeds even though that is what it looks like?

@DrumangleOfficial

6 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much, I appreciate the compliments! I would agree with both of your statements. As you get quicker, everything does meld together, whether you're doing just the slide technique, the pivot, or both the slide and pivot. But I'm still always trying to think about hitting the first note of the double with my toes and with my heel higher to start the motion, so I would say that's always happening, but as you get faster, things just become much more streamlined.

Thank you. Such great Technique and Skill plus Brilliant Explanation and Demonstration

Great video and impressive execution. Thank you Luke. I've played heel up most of my life but never mastered that slide technique. I've subscribed to your channel.

Nice lesson, Luke! At the end of the video, when Luke goes to the straight 16ths with the right foot. I've been working on this too and have a recommendation. Rather than having the downbeats land with the backward slide, I think it's important to switch the slide orientation to the downbeats and "&s" lining up with what Luke describes as his resting position, or the forward slide. The reason for this is, as you can hear when Luke does his 16ths, due to the two-motion nature of this technique (back-forward), the 16ths always will have to end on an "e" or "a" (1 e & a 2 e & a). If you swap the orientation of the slide to the downbeats on the forward position, you can then end your string of 16th notes on the 1 or &, which is generally more musically preferable. Just my two cents!

Actually I'm using the pedal in the very same way instinctively. It was good to see you explaining the method!

Thank you! I quality pedal certainly helps, but I've been using this technique for years on a variety of pedals, differing in quality. For me, I'm extremely happy with the DW 9000's and have been using them for years. You can adjust your technique to any pedal, and be sure to adjust the pedal to fit your playing style too.

The only drummers I've ever known to use this are Zach Hill, George Kollias, and apparently Pete Sandoval. I know a friend who's *tried* learning this technique and he described it as learning to walk all over again.

Very well broken down and built back up. As an older drummer I found this exercise to be the best I've seen. Thank you
