Yo man you are my favorite drum teacher on CZcams forreal. You explain everything so well
I am learning double bass and this video has been the best. I love the detailed segments of how to have our feet positioned as well as the height of our seat.
GENIUS!
that sound of your bass drum 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thanks men! Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you John Connor ♥
@4:39 THANK YOU 🙏, as a drummer myself a guitarist taught me wrong. You SHOULD always be having your feet on the pedals. I’m currently writing an album 💿, I can always use good advice here. Having your legs slightly above a 45 degree angle, I’ll try that.
Very good tutorial. My drummer have a back injurie.So I am trying to at least play my own songs.
I know this videos three years old but I’ve come across it recently and find it a great tutorial. I’m fairly new to learning the basics of playing double bass and I’ve been mostly concentrating on proper foot positioning on the pedals. About half way back, with my heals up on the balls of my feet, like you mentioned. My question is, do my heels come completely down to the back of the pedals when I drop my leg? Or do they stay slightly up, when I hit the next note every time like before? I noticed the beaters bounce back faster when I do the heel toe technique but I can’t do that and play a single 8th note without it doubling up.
I’m mostly self taught so forgive my lack of knowledge. But any advice would help my practices, to play more cleaner.
Please brother tall something about Swivel technique ❤️🤟🏻🙂
He doesnt use swivel.
Has un vídeo de cómo limpiar el Twin ...
thanks
What about using flat foot motion, moving only the front of the feet?
I actually tried that when I started with double bass, but after a while I figured out, that full leg is just sooo much easier to control. With heel down it is very hard to get nice, powerful and even hits.
Hi Wanja, I have played drums since a quite young age (8, im 14 now) and finally got my first double bass pedal last year but recently i have became extremely inconsistent. One day i go on my drum kit and my foot work is at a pretty nice speed, not crazy fast, although on other days it seems like my legs and feet fail me and i end up playing songs with more hands than feet. I would really appreciate if you have any advise. Thanks for the upload im a big fan from UK :)
Well if you don't mind I can also share my experience. I play since I was 5 and I'm 17 now. I have had the exact same experiences where some days everything works great and other days are so frustrating when it just doesn't work.
What i have done is "start from the beginning" again and take my time to practice slow (90-120bpm), consistent, loud and clean double bass strokes. I did that for about a week and the technique became way cleaner, more powerful and most important I had no bad days since. My double bass was always consistent from that point on.
What I'm trying to say is to concentrate on very clean and slow double bass for a few days. It helped me a lot and I hope it may help you, too!!
Good tip from Olli_st! Also it is important to have a consistent setup - seat height, pedal positions, shoes etc.
In general it is normal to have good and bad days but when you get better it affects you less and less. Also practising with stopwatch and metronome is very effective.
Hi Edster, I can relay my personal experience as well. 20+ years of playing and I'm taking the time to reset and rebuild my technique from scratch with both hands and feet. As far as my personal experience goes, if I had fixed my technique at your age then I wouldn't be doing this now so definitely get on top of it sooner rather than later! And remember there are no shortcuts, and speed takes time and effort, don't try to rush, just be consistent and focus on quality.
At a minimum I recommend playing through one whole page of Stick Control with hands, then with feet, and then do at least one round of the "Moeller Killer" exercise with hands, and then with feet. Do this every single day, no exceptions. Focus on relaxation and execution rather than speed. I personally do this on practice pads rather than the kit, less annoying for the neighbours!
When doing this with your feet it's very important to really dial in powerful strokes, maximise the knee motion and opening the ankle on the upstrokes, whilst still keeping the ball of your foot in contact with the pedal (as Nechtan mentions in the video)
And as Nechtan also said, having bad days is also completely normal :) I'm sure it even happens to guys like Dave Weckl and Virgil Donati, although their definition of a bad day is probably completely different to us mere mortals :)
@@davidpardy 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Hi, I practice as if I am jogging or running. Will that be effective?
I am not sure what you mean by that - but if you mean practising every day double bass for half an hour in the morning, then yes ;)
Vania the best)
Muscle or yoga your legs to do double bass ?
i noticed in recent videos you went to the short board setting on the demon drives and not the long board- is there a reason for that?
I just wanted to give it a try and got used to it. I think (it may be just my imagination), that I got a little bit more power with short boards, but the difference is minimal.
What pedals/springs are you using?

"Why should I learn double bass?"
"Yes"
lmao
Frage: Drummer und als sehr gute doublebass- player bekannt wie NickoMcBrain, Tommy Aldridge oder Scott Travis sitzen extrem niedrig, haben also nach gängiger Lehrmeinung die "falsche" Haltung.
Meine Erfahrung sagt mir: Jeder Mensch ist anders, jeder muss für sich selbst herausfinden, wie er es am besten macht. Da hilft nur, vor allem zu Anfang, ganz viel Ausprobieren, üben und Geduld, Geduld, Geduld. Es dauert relativ lange, bis man die benötigten Muskeln und Gelenke so trainiert hat, dass sie tun, was das Hirn möchte. Ich bin 58 (!!!) und übe das nun seit fast einem Jahr, und JETZT spüre ich, wie es zunehmend immer besser läuft- ein geiles Gefühl! Also: Nicht verzagen und aufgeben: Mit der Übung und der Zeit kommt das, was man möchte! Aber Geduld mit sich und dem eigenen Körper zu haben, ist m.E. das Wichtigste!
Ja, jeder Mensch ist unterschiedlich und es gibt sicherlich immer irgendwelche Ausnahmen, aber die Tendenz ist eigentlich recht eindeutig. Die von dir genannten Drummer sind sehr gut in dem was sie machen und haben großartige Pionierarbeit geleistet! Aber in den letzten Jahrzehnten gab es eine sehr krasse Evolution, was double bass angeht (vor allem im extremeren Metalbereich). Drummer wie Derek Roddy oder George Kollias haben da ganz neue Maßstäbe gesetzt und wenn man sich Drummer anschaut, die heute gut in Double Bass jenseits der 200 bpm sind, dann sieht man fast nie welche, die noch tief sitzen.
Finde ich super cool, dass du in deinem Alter noch Neues dazu lernst! Das macht mir Hoffnung, dass ich das auch können werde, wenn ich dahin komme :)
@@wanjanechtangroeger arbeitest oder wohnst du Deutschland? Ich hab das Gefühl dich schon mal gesehen zu haben(ich wohne in Bremen)
@@katjabojarra4952 Wohne in Hamburg, kann gut sein, dass man sich mal über den Weg gelaufen ist. Habe auch schon öfter in Bremen mit diversen Bands gespielt :)
I love this exercise for feet R L R R LRLRLRLR (then do opposite) teaches you how to lead with both feet.
