    Thank you very much ! This was an amazing video !! I’ve struggled with each one of the mistakes that you had pointed out. And since i’m basically a self taught, I had to reinvent the wheel on each separate step. I even came to the same conclusion in terms of how to practice my alternating single strokes on the bass drum, but it took me years to get to this point. Your video could have helped me a lot years ago. Cheers, man !

    Very informative. I have made some of these mistakes. I think a big reason I am having issues is pedal settings. I play on Trick pedals which I love but I noticed in this video you have the footboard angled up at 45 degrees with the beater at 45 degrees. Back to the kit to adjust!

    Hey Marthyn, I love your entire content, man! I was rejected by your DTAcademy because I'm a single pedal drummer but I really want to learn your method to develop my ankle technique properly even with just one foot: how can I do that? I've seen on your personal website u have a bass drum mastery program and was wondering if that might work applied on single pedal playing. Maybe u can help me out in finding a solution, so please let me know 🤝
    HUGE THANKS
    Andrea

    • @drumtechniqueacademy

      Hey Andrea. Thank you for your kind words.
      Regarding Bass Drum Mastery: you will learn the same technique (ankle technique with this course) for right and left foot... so it doesn't really matter if you play a single or double bass pedal. Just be aware that in later weeks of the course, the focus shifts more and more to double bass exercises (which you can follow just with your right foot)...
      Have an amazing day!

    Im pretty much new drummer so i have a question. Is it possible to struggle with double bass drumming if you have really cheap pedals with low quality springs for example. Or its all about techique and muscle memory, and higher quality pedals just give out better feeling while playing?????

    One thing I've seen is that if you learn double pedal with chain drives you'll have a harder time to adapt to direct drives. I got a DD for my first pedal, and it's amazing because you can't fail in your technique. DD shows any flaws you have in your movement, and you're forced to fix

    I just got my first double pedal today and I suck 😢 watched hours of videos, can play 200bpm with right foot and 160 with left, but never tried both, just didn't work as I expected, in any bpm at all 😂 How I get started?

    • @3dartstudio007
      @3dartstudio007 6 місяців тому +1

      Just like he showed here. Hold onto the snare, and start a steady beat with both feet. Not super fast, just keep both feet going and start to add high hat and snare. Voodoo by Godsmack is a good tempo song for this practice.

    Slide your foot up on the pedal... it does wonders. Who plays where there foot is half off the pedal?

    • @3dartstudio007
      @3dartstudio007 6 місяців тому +1

      You've got a point about foot placement, but playing full force and having your foot completely on the pedal isn't necessarily going to make your playing as "fast" as possible. With the foot closer to the pedal pivot point, the foot moves a lot less distance up and down than it does when it is near the beater. Less kinetic energy in the leg to change direction at faster speeds = less energy spent. Also the players legs make a difference. The length and weight of leg is going to make a difference to playing as well. I'll admit longer heavier legs SUK at going fast for long periods of time. So yes, foot closer to the beater for more power and volume, closer to the base of the pedal for faster speed

    Wouldn’t you want the spring tension always pretty low for double bass drumming? You wouldn’t want a high spring tension

    • @C_475
      @C_475 6 місяців тому +1

      a higher spring tension would bring the beater back faster
      so if you were going for extreme speed you would want that quick recovery time
      and at that point you would have the strength and endurance built up
