"You won't develop my technique but you'll develop your own technique" ❤
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience John \m/
Evolutionary drumming... This guy is a beast!
watched this while practicing and i think this video has improved my
technique considerably in just 10 minutes for real lol. the way you broke it down so simply and explained it is so concise, yet i feel like i got so much out of it. thanks for the upload and all the great music!
That's honestly one of the best explanations of most foot techniques I've seen. You're a good teacher and the visuals are right. I'm going to go play around with the swivel now, I can get it with my right but not the left. Cool for blasts so I can't complain.
Thanks John. Got out of bed once I saw this water-clean explanation and started practicing, too bad it was at 4am. Muchas gracias de nuevo.
This dude is an absolute master
A true legend !!!!
Well that escalated quickly. Great demonstration of the double tap. I've never really had any interest in using it, but after seeing this I'll give it a shot.
"FLAM! .. rest... FLAM! .. rest" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAH
Only a few will get that joke XD
Thank you for this masterclass homie, been using your doubles for years 🤗
😂
Hopefully you've got at least 37 toms
@@davealaya and 12 pedals
@@davealaya I think he says 17 😂 but anyways lol
It truly cracked me up... thanks for getting the joke. I got it... an now laughing again. 😆😆😂😂😂😂🫶🏾🫶🏾🔝🔝🤜🏾🤛🏼
ANGELCORPSE ! REAP THE WHIRLWIND! love to see a playthrough.
I'm not a drummer but this is great man. 🔥🤘
Incredible! The explanation is freaking perfect. And it’s all about sound, love that. Just subscribed.
So humble (..!)
Right on! Thank you sir!!!
So much info packed into 10 mins I love it. When does this bad boy drop?
Great info! Wish all instructors were as matter-of-fact, pragmatic as you are in this vid.
HELLS yes! Good stuff man, thank you for the upload.
You're an absolute beast John! Thank you for sharing.
Master class from the master
I love this. Thank you so much brother! 🤘
would love to see a direct drive version of the redline eliminator and one feature I really want on future pedals designed by you and pearl is the adjustable length of the drive shaft
ACD sell the direct drive for Eliminators.
5:43 thanks JL, now i cant get fear factory out of my head.
chu chu chu chu, chu chu chu, chu chu chu, chu chu chu
This should have been in the DVD
Thanks Jon!
Nice Doubles!!!!

thanks sir
Still cant do any of it but its awesome watching John do his thing \m/ FLAM! rest...FLAM!! hahaha
Absolute heavyweight unit behind the kit.
nice one sir ♥️
this is insane! and very appreciated! #subscribing
unique
Soo awesome
Great reference for difference between the heel-toe and doubles I think. Easily mixed up by most of guys and clearly not the same thing. :)
Shout out to your drumming in Dim Mak with the riff master, Shaune Kelley!
Fuck yeah brother 🤘
The master yeahhh
FLAHM REZT!
I do doubles like this. If you can't hear them clearly without triggers you are doing it wrong. John is correct. 🤘
What size shoes do you wear?
@@tobymcguinness6478 12m
@@tobymcguinness6478 I play barefoot though.
@@welderdude1 so do I, what size are your feet then?
@@tobymcguinness6478 well I wear 12m in USA sizing.
Flam rest flam rest mentioned 😂😂😂🎉🎉
HAIL SPACE!
One of my favorite drummers ever since Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas. You forgot to name the pedals. I am probably going to purchase them, my Eliminators are falling to pieces after 20 years. Demon Drive XR if anyone is wondering.
🤘😎🥁👍
Really helpful.. gonna watch it once a week until it sinks in.. what do you think about practicing with ankle weights?
I have the outmost respect for you and other “metal-drummers” who use these kind of techniques. But as an old-school “rock/fusion-drummer” I have a very hard time doing faster footwork without more power. I rather struggle with not having the beater hit my foot on the rebound, example: ua-cam.com/users/shortssN2dORgvR9A?si=rcAqj0Q9SKHO3pTd
Well, that’s my 2 cents ✌🏻😂
Ps. Great choice of cymbals! 🤩
Nice 🤘🤘
Dam, how many kits do you have man? Lol
Any tips on starting and stopping feet doubles during a song, like turning it on and off comfortably?
Master the initial exercise of dropping a double. Then master the singles to doubles. Then practice singles -> doubles -> rest (all on grid). Finally add the doubles back like singles 8 bar -> doubles 8 bar -> rest 4 bar -> doubles 8 bar.

was a good beginning double stroke control exercise
@@prototheist I like this, I appreciate it. I play for Expletive. Check out our video Set The Pace To Death.
Trigger on the kick ?
Which drum model is that?
What Snare is that? Sounds great!
Interesting, Travis Orbin does the opposite. He teaches to use the shin muscles only. Which I do. I can't even begin to figure out how to engage the calves to any degree in any of my strokes.
5:24 😂👌
Whats the song in the intro?
I cant be the only one who think John resembles Corey from Pawn Stars haha
crazy how that beater height is short with tight spring tension my shin would explode...
What was that intro? It sounded soo tensed up..
Yeahhhhhh.... Heel toe is a little hard for a size 14 foot 😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🫡🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Remember when people cared about sound.
? those drums sound amazing, the fuck you mean?
I hate to say it outright because his teaching method/ philosophy is one of the best....I am 65 and like to complain at least once a day and let the world know what irritates me. (Even though no one asks🤣) ......... These great drummers are capable of such speed that I could not obtain if I wanted to...I admire their work ethic to get there. My gripe...the sound/tone of the bass drums in "speed metal" is so unappealing to me. It sometimes feels that some music has turned into an athletic event.... I need tone and resonance. Vibrance with that orchestral auditorium concert hall breath and depth.... different strokes......I just prefer slower with a 26" or 28" felted without head vents.
Ok boomer
Totally understandable, especially because that classic booming kick sound is generally better for most genres(and natural drums just sound better). However, when it comes to "extreme" metal, if you try to play a standard kick drum over a PA at 200bpm+ it just turns into booming thunder that makes every note indistinguishable and drowns out the rest of the mix.
To cut through the mix at these speeds, you basically have to trigger the kick and give it loads of attack. It's so necessary that it's basically become the signature sound of extreme metal since the 90s. Some bands overdo it and it sounds bad, but when it's done correctly and you hear those machines gun kicks blasting through a club synced up with the guitarists right hand...well it's a very powerful sound and unique experience.
Don't get old and too stuck in your ways, try going to a live death metal show and see what all these youngsters(more like middle aged these days) kids are on about.
@@acmesalute76well that's a stupid response. Anyway he's right, the goddamn typewriter sound is beyond cliche at this point. It's a drum, an acoustic instrument.
@@HabAnagarekGood luck differentiating any notes past a certain speed with a traditional bass drum sound. It would sound like a fart. That and playing techniques, such as doubles, or speeds above about 230bpm usually require a trigger to be used in order for the hits to be loud enough to hear.
Then just do all that and ignore everything else. You'd think if you have lived as long as you failed you'd have realized that by now.
64th notes weren't shown. wtf
Don't need technique when you got triggers. Seen your doubles raw off mic in person and it sounds poopy. CHEERS
🤡
Triggers amplify mistakes.
