    PLEASE EVERY DRUMMER HERE!..........Due to the laziness of the past few years, I didn't take this exercise too seriously. After more than 20 years of playing, my bass drum hits are slightly ahead on every beat, just milliseconds, but enough to weaken the groove: the worst part is something so internalized that is impossible to me be aware of. If you want master the drums and basically turn you into a groove machine, don't skip THIS kind of exercises AND record yourself and try to hear and look the waveforms in your DAW. Suerte a todos.

    Thanks for the videos!! I've been playing for like 20 years and only recently i decided to get a little more serious about drumming. I'm realizing how poor a lot of my skills are. These exercises really help out in great ways! Is it normal to play with your heel up like you do? i noticed your heel is up for every strike and it never comes down to rest. is this something that you do naturally? i kinda get fatigued in my leg and i have to put my heel down a lot and then my foot starts getting really clumsy lol

  • @ThatSwedishDrummer

    Yeah it all depends on the technique you’re using. I use heel up most of the time and if you get fatigued, you might need to change your posture. Most of the pain can actually come from sitting too low. I’m glad you find my content helpful, buddy!! 😃🙌

  • @ThatSwedishDrummer

    @ThatSwedishDrummer

    Жыл бұрын

    I prefer heel-up, because you get more power from the bass drum strokes. Also, since you're tall, I'd recommend to sit high enough so your thighs are a bit higher than your knees. Don't sit in a 90degree angle or lower than that, you'll risk hurting your lower back in the long run, and you'll get more strength and balance in your strokes. Heel down is great for more controlled and quieter playing, for example for Jazz.

    Sky's the limit! But you shouldn't think just in "speed". Think precision and power. It's better to be able to play powerful solid strokes with your bass drum, and not just playing fast. But if you wanna hear a fast single pedal-player, check out Stan Bicknell. That guy has insane speed and precision.

    Question: how do you keep your foot in the same place on the kick pedal the entire time? Do you have on special shoes that allow your shoes to stick better to the pedal? I ask because I've always had the problem of my foot moving all over the place on the pedal, and especially when playing doubles.

    I always use regular shoes/sneakers with a rubber sole. I'd recommend that you check your posture when sitting by the drum set. You'll wanna sit relaxed with your feet apart just how you would sit on a chair, and place your bass drum where your dominant foot is placed. You can check this video on drum setup for comfortability, hopefully it will help! kzread.info/dash/bejne/p3iip62EctSwpco.html
