The speed is obviously impressive, but your ramp up from slow to fast was so clean - and then seamlessly transitioning to the swivel was so clean I can barely believe it! Most drummers can’t pull off that level of control with their hands! Bravo!
Years ago. Before UA-cam. I was teaching myself how to play rock and metal drums. My feet started doing this swivel action at high speeds. I thought it was just me and it was something I discovered or that just my feet did.
Awesome job man! As more of a jazz player, or someone with a lighter touch per say…the bass drum tuning isn’t exactly my favorite, but stylistically I know that it makes sense. To each his own right. The playing is stellar; super clean transitions from the singles to doubles back to singles again. Would love to see it in a musical context. Cheers! *Edit-I stand corrected by the UA-cam community. I’m not a double pedal guy so it was an honest mistake. They are in fact not doubles just singles. At that speed it was hard to tell and the swivel technique made it look deceiving to my eye. Either way…still good execution of technique and the functionality of it.
@@mattdillon6943 Dude…you’re right. My bad. The looks of it were deceiving to me when the swivel technique came in. I slowed the playback down and saw they were singles. Honest mistake. Didn’t mean to upset ya. Lol.
I play metal myself, but the type of progressive death metal that allows your instruments to still sound like actual instruments & not sound replaced, computerized samples, triggering, etc (although I do listen to some players who utilize these audio choices). When there isn't as much space in the music & the tempos get high, unfortunately the kick has to have a very tight click or "tap" tone to it. Heavily distorted guitars playing in low registers also don't often allow open sounding kick drums. I desperately want to not port my head, but even with damping, the "boom" was hard to tune out & it fights with the Bass guitar. Also, having all that air bouncing around in the kick makes higher tempos too bouncy....seemingly impossible to bury the mallet during double kick playing with no port. At least for me
this is amazing man, im learning double bass right now and greatly struggling lol. do you have any fundamentals or tips I should really prioritize? anything would mean a lot, keep killing it
This sounded really good, I find the worst double bass comes from people that do heel toe, it usually sounds sloppy and not steady at all, in most cases.
Dude! This fucking blew me away. You’re Power and consistency at the higher tempos is unreal. I have been grinding 4-5 days a week for the past year and a half on a journey to improve my kick speed and control. I have gotten up to about 230 for short bursts, but 220 is what I would say is my every day top speed. Currently I alternate between 10 minute endurance runs between 180-190 and the Kevin Paradis foot speed workout he has here on UA-cam. I have recently found some success with swivel, although up to this point my technique has mostly been just straightforward ankle technique. Did you deliberately practice this technique, or did it just come naturally? Secondly, were there any exercises or workouts that you found useful regarding the development of your foot speed? Just endurance runs? Or did you have other exercises that you would do on a regular basis? Thanks for your help! Subscribing now!
When I was starting with swivel technique I did a lot exercises and watched my feet so I'll get the right movement. I was practicing less when I got to the point where i could play it normally on reahersals etc. Faster tempos just came naturally after this, but it took a long time before I got comfortable with swivel. I'm sure that with your routine you'll get to faster tempos soon.
@@marcelidrummer - Hey man I appreciate the quick response. Thank you for the encouragement. Had another question for you. Do you have a certain tempo that you use swivel above? What I mean is, do you think to yourself “if it is below a certain speed I’m just going to play it straight ankles,” then switch to swivel when it gets above a certain speed? I know that it is necessary to practice at slower speeds to develop the muscle memory, but after you get it up to speed, do you utilize regular ankle technique below say 200? Or does your body just switch automatically without you having to think about it?
@@marcelidrummer The reason I ask is because when I have watched videos of guys like Ken Bedine, I noticed that he doesn’t always swivel. He only starts to utilize that technique around 220 or faster.
first, you have to master smooth and consistent tecnique to play double bass. Second, you have to build stamina dependending how much you play doubles in the song. Third, how dynamic your playing is. If your legs are lack of stamina it infects you playin negatively. I play in Finnish band called Simulacrum witch is brogressive speedmetal band. We have a song called Enter the Hyperion, song is 182 bbm and 6 min long and most of the song is more or less polyryhmic double bass play and other parts are straight playin in high tempo. You guys should listen this song and after that you can think what is important thing to play songs like Enter the Hyperion.. ua-cam.com/video/TvfMCE8eiQ4/v-deo.html
This is the only thing I’ve seen that truly convinces me of the argument that a single bass drum head can’t properly breathe at high speeds. Even then though, with two kicks and your ability there’d be no reason to use triggers.
Beyond a certain tempo it all turns into mush in the mix. I was doing a track with 16ths @ 240. It sounded okay in isolation, but when I mixed the drums in with the rest of the instruments, it just sounded like a truck driving past -- one long note. I had to re-record with triggers. There's a big anti-trigger brigade on the internet, but most of those people have no idea how a trigger actually works and what it does and doesn't do.
Esa es una gran habilidad física indiscutiblemente, felicidades.... aunque realmente lo que hace y necesita un buen baterista profesional es: tener GUSTO, excelente TIEMPO, buen GROOVE y LEER música 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just don’t understand how you figure out how to time both the right and the left alternating whole doing that. I can do it on a single no problem extremely fast but can’t imagine doing it on both feet at once. Right now I’m doing solely ankle motion but can’t go super fast

Perfect transition from full leg motion to ankles to swivel. Really impressive.
^ THIS!!!
Dude, my thoughts exactly. Smooth as fuck with no concrete timez just rolled up and right back down. That shit was impressive
Sounding like a helicopter startup 😂
I can tell you put alot of work in to this teqnique, well done
Better and better!
EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION OF TRANSITIONING FROM FULL LEG, ANKLE, TO SWIVEL! FANTASTIC
that was SO. FUCKING. CLEAN.
Years ago. Before UA-cam. I was teaching myself how to play rock and metal drums. My feet started doing this swivel action at high speeds. I thought it was just me and it was something I discovered or that just my feet did.
I couldn’t help but smile. The dedication and control you showed here is truly impressive
Good shit, seamless transitions, sick speed. 10/10
There's a looooooooooooooooooooot of work behind this. Impressive!!!
that’s amazing, so clean!
This is what I want to learn. The transition is perfect. It is so clear.
Very nice man🚨🥁🔥 keep it up dude🤘🏾😎🚬🔥
Called the army
Wow! my mind is blown!

dude....at no point did he switch to doubles....its all single strokes. he just switched from ankle technique to swivel technique as he speeds up

Great, good job
That is VERY impressive.
Double Bass action!! 🥁🥁🤘👍
Good job!😊
Awesomeness
So clean sounds like a Bell Huey helicopter!
You are just as good as the pros
Great vid. What pedals are those?
Broo! Para arrancar con esta técnica.. el talon toca el pedal cuando empezas a hacer el movimiento swivel?
What kind of beaters do you have there really nice
wow that's killer!
Wtf bro, that was clean
What are your pedal settings? Great work by the way
Que hermoso hermano, suena increíble
Pretty sure I have a hard time with regular style pedals because my feet are irregularly large for my 5 ft 6 stature...
Look up the ledwig speed king it's a long board pedal
Wow, that was wild
super impressive!
That transition though..😮
Fuckin' amazing!!!
Congratulations...
🤘😈🤘
💯
Flawless
Drum go boom
lots of power there. nice.
Well. This is how it's done.
That just put a smile on my face 10 miles wide!!!. Are they Axis pedals by the way?
No. Polish made
They are nice nevertheless
Хорошая работа мозга. Браво.
Mad control
So very good 🎉
AwEsOmE🥵🥶
Muito bom parabéns pelo trabalho profissional 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 aqui 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🖐️🖐️🖐️
ヤバい！Get motivated！I want to be able to do it quickly！！
Can you make a tutorial how Sindhis get this speed using ankle and swivel ?
Thanks
That bass drum needed a cigarette after that
AMAZING!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍
disgustingly good
Smooth velocity
This sounded really good, I find the worst double bass comes from people that do heel toe, it usually sounds sloppy and not steady at all, in most cases.
Thank you for a real informational video to the fucking point
So your heels on swivel both match out and in at same time?
I'm decent at my right foot on swivel but my left is hard to sync.
Dobre!!
Bravissimo
Sounds like a chinook 👍👍👍
What kind of pedal is that?
amazing volume !! are you using two coins in the bass drum head ??
No, just head and a piece of ducktape.
Nice
🤘🏻🔥🥁
How do you keep your feet from sliding off the pedals?

Amazing control! Teach me,please! I mean,I need and want to learn .ore of the medium speeds. Maybe from 130 bpm 😅😔
Perfect, how much time did it take to get such “skill”?
Like 1-2 years of swivel practice at that time. but Im sure that with regular hard work you can get there much faster.
😎👊 shoooow!

Супер!
Wow!
What's the brand name of your direct drive double kick pedal if i may ask?
czarcie kopyto

FUCK DUDE that's awesome
Awesome!! What is the price of that double pedal in dollars?
It was around 850 when i was buying it byt it is probably more expensive right now due to high inflation in poland.
Mano que pedal é esse ????
Very useful for a ballad or a slow blues..sorry but I am to old for such a mad competition 😜
I've seen something like this before , But Wow.....
오우 굳.
Holy shit!
Can this work on any pedal? Short boards as well?
Yes this works on pretty much every pedal
Esa es una gran habilidad física indiscutiblemente, felicidades.... aunque realmente lo que hace y necesita un buen baterista profesional es: tener GUSTO, excelente TIEMPO, buen GROOVE y LEER música 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
El poder leer música te pone un escalón arriba, es lo que hace que te llamen a ti en lugar de alguien más
