Dude this is the best double bass tutorial on youtube so far, grats.
Jajjajjajjjjjaj
True apart for the blink beat playing over and over for 10mins
I've been playing double pedal for four years now and the amount of patience you need with double pedal is incredible. Sometimes you won't see improvement for about a month so your motivational speech at the start really helps.
This is the video that needs to be seen by every drummer.
Fantastic!!!
thank you. Make sure to check my other tutorials as well.
i have brother man
I'm not a drummer and do not intend to be, but I watched it anyway
What if I don't play double kick?
@@burnhitsforlove3317 Then why are you here?
"I'm Eugene, and welcome back to my laboratory, where safery... is number 1 priority"
waow das so cool is amaysing loouk at dat. boom.
nick avb hahahaha nice
xDDDDD
Luã Rocha 👍👍👍😂😂😂👍👍👍
Numba won*
That blink 182 beat in the background
BTW great video my technique has been horrible but this vid fixed it
I Miss You. I was kind of sad when the guitar and bass didn't come in.
Hello there
pls don't start a lyric chain
Where are you?
Best tutorial ever. The “wrong” examples and accompanying sign/ sound effects were great, but the cookie and milk, pure gold! Proper great work. It was enlightening AND entertaining. Kept my attention the entire time, and that’s what a greater teacher does: educates while keeping his/ her students engaged. Not realizing one is learning, because one is having fun. Just brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing your time and wisdom. 🍻
Thank you so much for these kind words
This is one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen! Great info and hilarious!
Thank you ;)
You should review some more dbz figures
As an above the knee amputee drummer, I am STILL working on my speed even though I will not be able to do this at this level. I did enjoy this lesson and will apply these exercises accordingly. Thank you for making this. ONELEG OUT
Your attitude earned my sub.
Ancalagon Ullr u121
It's been more than five years and I still think this is the best instructional video on CZcams for double bass. Motivating and informative like no other!
Great attitude!
Bebetto TheNinjaDrummer love your covers
olha só quem tá aqui
I agree
I've watched so many different double bass lesson videos, and to this day yours are still my favorite. Thank you, Eugene.
thank you ;)
Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. Great video dude. A great lesson aimed toward people who have never had private teachers to tell them these things.
I absolutely love this type of thinking.
My drum teacher said that as well
My drum instructor said the same thing! So did my lacrosse coach. This has stuck with me for life!
Practise makes permanent ;).
“Perfect practice makes progress”
"You will get something like this": Bddddddddddddddd 😂
In time!
This is something what I call a perfect lesson. Never stop making tutorials buddy!
thanks so much! I will make more
Still waiting for the bass line from "I Miss You" to come in...
good luck XD
Still waiting
Bah dum dum
@@tommybanks5307 So am i, still waiting for this world to stop hating 😌😌😌
@@fizzyfran2886 i've been waiting a long time for this moment to come
3 minutes in I realized this is the wrong double bass I'm looking for. Gawd string bass is underrated
As a bass player, I agree
Well this inspired me to start practicing double bass more seriously. Cheers.
You are amazing thanks for this super video
It is so sad, "practice in slow tempos 180". My max is 145-150 :D
140 - 150 bpm is where a lot people cap at because your technique needs to change around then. Your hip flexors need to act as suspenders for your legs rather than being a source of power. Then all your power and control should come from foot, ankle, and calf. Basically, at faster speeds (140+), your quads and knees need should be fixed at one position rather than moving up and down. 5:37 is a perfect example.
DueyTait-Pastor very well put!
I have been practicing on my new Yamaha DFP9D pedals at 140 bpm for 5 mins.
Hip flexors are burning.
🤣
Now to the next level - ankle and swivel!
@@YaDingus I see this a lot on the internet that if someone can't play fast it's because they are using full leg motion -- that's definitely not the only reason (I'm sure everyone who is trying to figure out how to play faster is more than aware of leg vs ankle). For me - I using ankle technique 100% (i use leg only for extremely slow stuff like 100bpm, anything moderate or faster -- only ankle) and my max is still at around 160-170 bpm (i can do bursts at 200 though). I don't think it's leg vs ankle - a lot of people play with full leg at over 200 bpm (for example watch a studio video of Jay Weinberg playing Unsainted with double bass over the verses czcams.com/video/27iYNJ_huP0/video.html, that's 205 bpm or smth -- full leg motion). I personally sort of solved this for myself by figuring out how to play doubles (heel-toe), so here's an example of me playing a 190bpm song with double strokes - czcams.com/video/sd_rgubqV0g/video.html
@@antondubkov You're right, there are multiple ways to achieve higher bpm double bass. Once I reach about 140 bpm I began to switch to more ankle movement but I'm still using some higher leg motion for balance and control. It's the same technique Marthyn Jovanovic. The, of course, around 190 I'm all ankle. I notice you keep your pedals pretty close to the thrown which is what I use to do, but now I keep them quite further away which is WAY more comfortable for higher BPMs. Awesome performance, by the way! Does a different drive shaft make a difference? I was thinking about converting my Speed Cobras to direct drive.
The best drum tutorial on the internet.
HOW
edit; so 50 minutes later i figured it out. I always tried to force it, wasn't sitting right/relaxed, now it clicked and I'm just banging away while typing this, with ease. At ease. finally figured it out. I love CZcams
one of the most comprehensive videos regarding posture, form, morivation and approach to reaching goals on the kick. Thank you for your contribution to the comunity, its invaluable
Dude, this is by far the best video I've seen on real uses. Where to sit on the throne is a huge thing that a lot of people dont cover! I also REALLY appreciate how you say that one will need a good attitude and how it will take time and all that. Such a great attitude like many have already said. Got my subscription is well!
I've been waiting so long for a video like this, thank you sir!
This is the best double bass tutorial I have ever seen! So many excellent tips on foot and ankle motion for speed! Thank you!
Dude Eugene,
This video has helped me tremendously just over the past 3 days. I've been spending about 3-4 hours a day switching between constant 16th double bass, to working single foot / double foot ankle motions, etc. My progress has been amazing, I can't wait to see where I'll be in 3 months. I hope your life is filled with nothing but gorgeous women and glorious endeavors. Much love from Texas.
This is honestly the best video I've seen in terms of visual and audio tips. Thank you for including beater angle/distance, spring tension, foot board height, as well as overall posture. Lately I've been messing around a lot with posture and adjustments to comfortably play and practice with more of the ankle technique - I'm used to flat-footed and using my whole legs/hip flexor muscles and just barely reach 200 BPM.
i watch this video every time i need inspiration and remember the techniques. Thanks Eugene
This video and your many others has really revived my love for drumming and making metal. I recently bought some dw5002 s and I am going to watch this video a lot to remind myself how to practice correctly. Thank you for this awesome tutorial.
You are always welcome, good luck ;)
Literally one of the most comprehensive, valuable bassdrum tutorial/instructionals on CZcams.
This is one of the best drum tutorials I’ve watched on CZcams and I don’t even have a double pedal.
You’ve got yourself a subscriber.
dude i play drums for like 6 years and you are the only one who does good tutorials +like +sub
thank you I am flattered.
Probably greatest drumming lesson ever made :)
Absolutely the best drumming tutorial I've ever watched. The mental aspect of drumming is such a huge part of it I agree and I really like the overall positivity of the video.
I've been playing drums for a very long time and I just started playing metal earlier this year. This video, and your other tutorials, have been a huge help! Six months ago I could barely hold a bass drive at all. Now, I'm totally comfortable with everything that I'm playing. Thank you so much for all your extremely valuable videos!
Hey Eugene, Great video, thanks for those advices. I was wondering, I'm not yet at the speed of 170. I'm for now confortable at 140, and sometimes I can reach 160. I was wondering what technique should I use at those speed. I mean, when are you switching to the swivel technique ? I play mostly heel up or flat foot. Do you think It's good to practice heel up until 170 and then switch to Swivel ? I hope I have been clear enough haha. Last question, you talked about endurance, but what about control ? I mean, I'm able to go at 160, for like 1 or 2 minutes, but it's impossible for me to play a song At 160 bpm with stuff like syncopation on the feet or you know, particular kinda jent beats. any hint ?
Make sure you watch this one if you need control
czcams.com/video/X_jbNtUe6eM/video.html
You can do full leg until 180 with ease.
+ you can do endurance at slower tempos, not a problem.
Already did ;). thanks ! I have already improved my control thanks to your advices ! will you make a video on tips/exercices for finger/hand technique (I have seen the advanced hand techniques, but I dont really know how to practice speed & control with fingers...). Will you go to the NAMM show this year ?
Is it normal that im playing 170 bpm with one pedal?
@@ogKalmari either you are actually doing 85 bpm or it isn't sustained. Otherwise video proof is needed there since that is literally insane
I really like the positive attitude. This was a very motivational video.
I'm a very experienced guitar player broadening my horizons into the drum world... and this is probably the most helpful video I have seen yet.... Proud of Your Boy!
By far the best double bass video I've watched. God bless you man! Keep drumming!
omg i just tried this for 4mins and my speed doubled with barely any energy usage
amazing
This is awesome
There was some great advice in this! You deserve more views
Who knew you could get so detailed in double bass drumming? AWESOME!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this great video together Eugene! Very motivating, sensible and helpful! All the best to you buddy ;-)
Wow man this video is excellent. Most people explained one thing or the other. You explained posture, how to sit, pedal adjustment. Thank you
You're always welcome ;)
Best drumming vid I’ve seen ever!
Thank you. I've watched half a dozen of your videos in a row. Great content. Greatly appreciate your time and effort to make these.
The swivel technique is the best technique ever! Thanks for the tutorial!
As a violinist, I actually found this video helpful. Alot of the advice on practicing actually applies to life in general lol
Chandler Thomas even in the goddam maths and science, etc.
Very informative and helpful! Going to live somewhere where i can set up a drumkit in my home soon, it's going to be soo much fun learning again!
I'm a self taught drummer struggling to learn fast double bass. I can barely handle even 150 bpm, but this video gave me the stamina boost I need. Thanks for your wisdom and teachings!!
You're welcome, I wish you luck.
Best tutorial I've seen on the subject. Everything very well explained.Goes straight to the point. Good job.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this with the world!
Perfectly put, sir!
A+ presentation. I'm going to put your advice to good use!
I've been using a "hybrid" technique of heel toe on my left foot while playing on the ball of my right foot toward the bottom of the footboard. It has given me a noticeable boost in speed when I need it but I feel like I'm cheating.
I've heard of the swivel method but this has given me motivation to put it into practice.
Best one I've seen! Forget double bass with doubles! I was struggling with just the double stroke. First thing I did was go down, crank the tension, and bring the beaters back. I already feel a difference. More control, and better rebound. I'm a guitarist that converted, and I've struggled with some concepts behind the kit. Thank you!
Dude seriously thank you so much for posting this video. It spoke to me so much and your lesson explanations and demonstrations were absolutely fantastic. Excellent job, thanks again.
This dude is so positive its awesome.
The Perfect teacher 🤘🏻👌🏻
One of the most honest and useful approaches I've ever seen
This video is epic! 3Mins a true lesson for life and then the drumming stuff. Informative and enjoyable as well. I admire your skills.
I consider that video not only enjoyable to watch, but also the best video about Double Bass on yt. I'm playing now almost 3 years, first two on roland drums, never really practiced speed of double bass as a pure "separate" exercise, it was coming along with practise for songs that I wanted to play ( spend a hell of a time learning painkiller intro for example). I changed electronic set for acustic drums at the end of august this year. On acustic drum you've got to punch harder than on the trigered pad, therefore I didn't had the stamina for fast playing. I starded from 150 bpm (16th notes). At that speed I was able to maintain stable 30 min double bass without interruption. I played at that speed for 2 weeks everyday, 30 min long (preceded by 15 min warmup with various double bass beats) and jumped for 160 bpm. And then there is the list:
160 bpm - one week
165 bpm - one week
170 bpm - two weeks
175 bpm - one week
180 bpm - I'm starting second week now
I'm playing for 30 minutes everyday, and I don't jump 5 bpm faster until I don't feel quite relaxed at certain speed. I'm going for 210 bpm for now, thanks Eugene you've showed the right way, just sit and play :D Ohh and I've got crappy pedal worth about 80 $

Greetings from Poland, hope you like I shared my thought
What muscles do you use from 150 to 180 bpm ? Only calves or a mix of calves and quads ?
I watch this about once a week to remind myself. i more or less know the whole vid word for word and my wife complains i pick up your accent for a few minutes after i watch it ^ ^
Hahahahahaha, that is really nice. Thank you for this comment ;)
That sense of humor in the video is Brilliant!!! Much love!
Man. Thank you for this. I really appreciate the video man, I can kind of feel what you're talking about. This is gonna help me in the long run.
ur sentences inspired me,thanks alot
Excellent video man. Inspired me a lot :)
Eugene, excellent video. Your approach and positive comments are very inspiring to musicians of all ages. Fun to watch and informative. Thanks bro!
Who could not like this video?
This video was a discovery for me. I had no motivation and I didn't know how to play double pedal properly. Eugene made me change my mind about those issues. The Swivel technique is my approach because of this tutorial and I love it!
Thanks a lot, Eugene!!!
this was both interesting, and very motivational! great video!
This is so cool..
I started to learn heel-toe single technique three months ago (wanja gröger a.k.a. morganvanhelsing on CZcams "taught" me :D). A month ago I couldn't do 170 bpm for 10 minutes, now I can do 190 for 10 minutes and 180 for 30 minutes. Now when I practise I start daily with 150 bpm 10 minutes, 160 bpm 10 minutes, 170 bpm 20 minutes and then 180 30 minutes. After that today I did 3x1 minute 190 bpm (rested for a while in-between) and then could do 10 min 190 bpm for the first time. What did I learn? It Doesn't Matter if you don't see "visible" progress every day - what you Can see is that you'll be able to play cleaner and "easier" and with less tenseness and louder with the familiar tempos. At first, though, I just spent hours and hours watching my feet (either right of left, playing with one foot at a time) and tried to make it look and feel and sound sensible when first learning the heel-toe single technique.
I hope this helps someone. This video is all True. Thank you!
Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! And I am glad you liked my video ;)

You are always welcome.
Man, that's the way a true technique teacher talks. Thank you very much!
I am playing drums for 25 years now. And you did the best motivational, technical and cool tutorial so far.
Even though there are more techniques , you just burned the house with this one simple and solid one.
Congratulations
Not sure if this is a motivational vid or a drum vid ...🤔
It's both.
Sailor1010 I shared it with my guitarists and bass players so both haha
Sailor1010
Both
Does it matter!
You explain shit very well my brotha. Thank you 🤘
What u say is so true man, I always wanted to learn double bass and I didn't until I finally decided to sit my ass down and put in the practise time. keep up the good work
This is the most clear, concise and usefull bass drum video I have ever seen. No bullshit, just the things you need to be told and the things you need to know! Thanks a lot Eugene
Thanks for the kind words. Make sure to check out my other lessons.
Thank you so much man
You're welcome, Joey.
are u the real Joey jordison
No shit! That's a hell of an endorsement!
no me canso de ver esto
You are a legend Eugene. Great skills and real world advise for everyone plus a rockin mo!! Awesome work.
Tremendous tutorial! Well ordered and articulate! I haven't played in many years, but this has me fired up. Thanks!
thanks man thanks a lot andreas from ATHENS GREECE... JUST RESPECT NOTHING MORE!!!!
Damn, this is pretty amazing! the first double bass tutorial that actually covered most things. But most importantly, focused on the training part! that bpm * 30mins! that is so true. you need to get your muscles and legs used to playing! in the past i've just tried to play really fast and only managed for short periods. I'll get right on this! thanks for the awesome tips!
You're welcome ;)
Hey Eugene, really good drum covers and videos! Do you think you could upload a video about the one handed drum roll technique? It would really be helpful. Thanks.
If you mean the gravity blast then I already did a video where I talk about it
czcams.com/video/r-4xnnG4xzA/video.htmlm47s
After a couple of years of frustration now im starting a new age of speed. Im very happy for that. Thanks Eugene!
Glad to hear that too.
Awesome video! Super informative and I enjoyed every minute of it ! Thanks for this Eugene ! My favorite drummers are the ones that share their knowledge and experience ! Thumbs up!!! 👍🏼
Played horror games while exercising, every time I felt nervous tempo sped up
I have the Demon Drive It's f****** amazing I was excited when I seen him with it in the video totally worth the purchase
I am playing Axis for the last (almost) 3 years and I recently (a week ago) had a chance to try out the demons again and damn they still feel amazing. I am glad you think it's worth it! I agree.
@@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer do you think Axis is better than DD? And why?
thank you, very good. helped a lot......
La mejor explicación de todo el CZcams... Me saco muchas dudas.. hasta incluso la tensión del resorte del pedal... Yo me sentaba muy adelante pues ahora me siento más atrás y tengo movimiento en mis tobillos... Un saludo desde Uruguay 🤗🙌🤞
excelent!!!!
excellent advice throughout this whole video.
i played/practiced for 2 years before i was able to hold 16th notes at 120bpm for more than 5 minutes. so for those that think its easy...its not. but its worth it if you stick with it.
and hes 100% right. doing it correctly at slower tempos is much more productive than doing it wrong at faster tempos..you wont learn anything like that.
I'vr been playing for a bit less than a year and made it up to like 110 bpm for endurance, but I can get up to 135 sometimes. What do you think is more important though? Practicing double bass techniques, or practicing rudiments. I want to play prog rock/metal, what would be best to practice to play this genre?
Eugene Ryabchenko Thanks m8 :) btw, have you ever considered covering Nile?
Eugene Ryabchenko Can't wait to see that :D
He doesn’t make the video about himself he is genuinely helping drummers get better, thanks bro !
My god those Demon drive pedals look like the are smooth as hell :O
I'm new to drumming, just got a roland td 11k a few days ago and wanted to see how smooth the pedals were after reading this comment, and i realized that i actually bought these pedals lol
Eugene Ryabchenko Yeah, i'm still learning how to use them well, i've tried adjusting springs but the left one is always a bit harder to use than the right pedal. Also i can only do a 180 bpm pattern for a short time and thats with my feet flat, cant do it with my heels up for some reason :/ Need more muscle im weak and out of shape atm
***** If only i could with an electronic :P
Demirel Turkmanovici I have a set of dual pedals that are smooth but not so fucking smooth as this 1
its like you are an angel that climbed inside my head and told me everything i needed to hear about getting faster... including telling me to stop being lazy haha
Dude, thank you, this is the best "How to play" video i've seen.
It's educational and also funny.
That "Do something while practicing" part cracked me up.
You have no idea how much you've helped me out. i started doing what you said by practicing for a about 30 min. i did that for about 2 weeks and ive started seeing improvement. Now to work on the flying fingers technique. Thanks again man
lmao the blink-182 I Miss You beat in the background
