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.

I am not striving to discount your video, definitely understand the time it takes to record and edit. Nonetheless, alas, all of the exercises paraded in your video are all in fact from Benny Greb’s book “The Language of Drumming Book”, verbatim from (p. 28) and the book is accompanied with audio and video demonstrations.
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
Жыл бұрын
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!! 😃🙌
Your snare sounds amazing! How do I get mine to sound like that?!

That is good ,thank you.But also, wouldn't you mind to have told about the tension of the pedal's spring,why playing heel up,how to play fast double-notes,hownto play softer etc Men du har abetat mycket, och alla dina filmer är mycket intressanta. Man får mycket bra information hela tiden! Kiitoksia paljon!Tack så mycket!
@ThatSwedishDrummer

Kiitos! It's the viewers job to adjust their own pedals to their own preference and play with whatever technique they want, whether it's heel up/down, swivel technique etc.
Cool! Cant wait to start practicing! Is the Heel Up technic better than Heel Down? I have a long legs and Heel Down suitable for me better, but i cant increase a kick speed. Maybe i should try Heel Up?
@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.
After this exercise my ankle, foot, calf & the inside of my thigh is sore & a bit tight but just like in any sport if it’s not burning it’s not working.
Oh my I suck at this. Ok dropping everyone else and just doing this for the next 14 years. Thx for the vid. Fml

Thank you for the lesson!!! Awesome! Quick question. Approximately how fast can a person play quick doubles on the bass drum using the ankle technique (the technique you used in the video)? I understand everyone’s different, but approximately, how fast can a drummer play quick doubles using simply the ankle technique?
@ThatSwedishDrummer
Жыл бұрын
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.

@@ThatSwedishDrummer thank you for your reply brother. Appreciate it. I have been practising the slide technique. And I can’t help but feel there is so much ‘friction’ and this disallows me to execute the slide technique smoothly. Any advice?
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.
@ThatSwedishDrummer
Жыл бұрын
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
