In this double bass drum lesson I’m giving exercises to increase the double bass drumming speed. It’s very important to block these exercises into strokes for tighter pedal playings and not to loose control while playing fast. You can also work for these exercises on the floor or on the drum pads. This video is not prepared for extreme speeds like 230+ bpms. It’s for to help the drummers which stucked around 130-140 bpm or can’t even use their slave foot strokes regularly at any tempo.
If you understand these exercises and practise consistently, you can play tight, powerful around 200 bpms without using triggers if you don’t like them. In this video I didn’t use drum triggers.
Exercise 1 - 2 Strokes (RL)
Exercise 2 - 3 Strokes (RLR)
Exercise 3 - 4 Strokes (RLRL)
Exercise 4 - 5 Strokes (RLRLR)
Exercise 5 - 6 Strokes (RLRLRL)
Exercise 6 - 7 Strokes (RLRLRLR)
Exercise 7 - 8 Strokes (RLRLRLRL)
Exercise 8 - 8x2 Strokes (RLRLRLRLRLRLRLRL)
Exercise 9 - 8x3 Strokes (RLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRL)
Exercises 10 - 8x4 Strokes (RLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRL)
I you are a lefty drummer, you must do the exercises with opposite feet.

Bu davul dersimde çift kick hızını arttırmaya yönelik egzersizleri çalıp anlatıyorum. Bu egzersizleri blok şeklinde çalışmak hızlı çalarken kontrolü kaybetmeden sıkı ve tam ritmik pedal çalımı için çok önemli. Bu egzersizleri davulsuz da sert bir zeminde ya da bir davul padinde çalışabilirsiniz. Bu video 230+ gibi ekstrem hızlar için hazırlanmamıştır. Genellikle 130-140 bpm de sıkışıp çalmış ya da herhangi bir tempoda zayıf-ikincil ayaklarını düzgün kullanamayan davulculara yardım edecektir.
Eğer bu egzersizleri iyice özümser ve devamlı pratiğini yaparsanız, 200 metronom civarlarında sıkı, güçlü ve trigger (eğer sevmiyorsanız) kullanmadan çalabilirsiniz. Bu videoda davul triggerı kullanmadım.
Eğer solak bir davulcuysanız egsersizleri diğer yönlü yapmalısınız.

En este video de percusión bajo doble voy a mostrar ejercicios que los ayudara aumentar la velocidad de percusión bajo doble. Es muy importante blocar los ejercicios in golpes para poder tocar el pedal más apretado y no perder el control cuando tocan más rápido. Pueden hacer esos ejercicios en el piso o en pad de batería. Ese video no oes para extremos velocidades como 230+ bpms. Ese video es para los bateristas que están atascados entre 130- 140 bpm o ellos que no pueden tocar los golpes con el pie esclavo regularmente y a cualquier tempo.

Domination!!
Domination consumes you and calls you a friend
best freaking db video tutorials on youtube, I really love these, thank you very much!!!
Absolute best double bass practice videos on UA-cam! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your content. It’s great!
Amazing videos and lessons brother..i'm only on the middle of your second video and already want to go to my kit and practice..huge motivation and inspiration..thnx..greetings from Greece..
P.S. music (and drums,,in particular) unite people,,while politicians don't..
Nice to hear:) thank you! Love to Greece
@@ErceArslan we thank you brother,awesome videos like Jo i am from Grecce too,best regards Erce
Súper concrete-professional-realistic aproach, thanks man!
3.58 sounds like Domination🤘🔥
Thank you Erce! This exercises helped me a lot, I have improved my double bass speed and control incredibly. I've been struggling to play at 120 bpm and it was all flammy and sloppy when I tried to play it together with my hands. For today I'm getting close to 200 bpm and it's all controlled, no nervous tremblings and unnecessary flams. Practising this exercises is one hell of a workout though and it is amazing. I would say that if someone wants to significantly improve the double bass playing, this exercises is a musthave. I started out at 100 bpm and played all exercises one after another without stopping. After first time my feet felt like I've been jumping on a trampoline for a long time. :)
When I got used to it, the feelings when I play bass drum became natural. So if you spend your time with this exercises you will not regret.
You are welcome! I thank you for your comment. Very nice to hear such a progress like this.. 🙂🤘🏼
Wow. Thank you for posting these drum lessons for double bass techniques. It’s been one of the most difficult things for me to learn better foot control and technique.
Same here Erce! Great stuff!
Great lesson! Thank you!
I've watched tons of videos like most drummers wanting to learn. This was very easy and simple to understand. The exercises aren't necessarily easy but I'm getting there. Love the tutorial
Excellent tutorial.
reaaaaally good videos thanks a lot man ! very motivating and simple to understand
Very straightforward!
Thank You Sir! Great Help!
I loved the physical pictures you have on the wall, I thought it was really cool
Very good video man, thanks a lot, this is the kind of exercices that i need.
Those tips are helpful 🤩😍......Thank you very much
Your videos are extremely helpful thank you very much
más que nada la paciencia, tengo que ser muy paciente muchas gracias por tomarte el tiempo para poder enseñarnos
Thank you for sharing this helpful exercise. Big help for beginners in double bass like me. 👍
Nice and original approach about double bass drum! Adding on kick hit at the time is genius! And I am French and Spanish and I agree with your "newfound" Greek friends who commented below, music unites us.
yeap!!! now i know explosive technique!!) amazing!!!!
Great stuff & Great video my friend !!!
Your lessons are up to another level, if only i had drums, i can imagine how much more extraordinary your lessons are
Thank you Lina🙂🙏🏼
best exercise
Bu seriye yeni başladım çok açıklayıcı ve sakin bir şekilde anlatıyorsunuz ve işin içinde çok fazla emek var her şey için çok teşekkürler 🙏
Rica ederim🙂🤘🏼 iyi çalışmalar olsun.
Thank you so much, your videos are helping me tremendously with some hard thrash like Slayer.
I'm currently trying to build up the speed for Raining Blood and Heratic Anthem is my final goal
Thx for the lesson.. Great lesson with a lot of details that i need.. Keep going with your contents sir.. Sincerely from indonesia
Make a Indonesian metal band and call it "In Yo Knees Yeah"
Thanks so much bro... I'm a guitar player at heart, but was given an old drum set with double bass pedals. Been Practicing a few months and it's coming along nicely. I'm glad to have stumbled onto your videos so I can learn to play the RIGHT way! All of the videos and exercises are GREAT!!! Thanks again!
You are welcome! I thank you🙂🙏🏼 nice to hear such kind of comments and glad to help🤘🏼
u are best
Every once in a while i came back to these videos. I'm seemingly stuck perpetually at a tempo of about 160 bpm more or less for more than ten years, despite practicing a lot. All I've wanted was to be able to play Slayer songs, since forever, but I can't. I wanted to play death metal, but I can't. I can't understand what im doing wrong...
Mantap 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Sangat membantu sekali utk kita yg masih belajar Double Pedal / Bass drum.
Sukses selalu Om. 👍😊🙏
Trima kasih utk apresiasi nya. 🙏😊
Do you apply constant tension on the pedals? Looks like when you're at rest position your heel is always up.
Thanks for all this lessons 🙏
California girl here. Thanks for the videos. I just want to say your videos (I've seen lesson 1 & 2 so far) are spot on and really addressing some of the problems I'm having with 2 bass drum pedals. To this point, I've only been using the double kick for embellishments. Now I am inspired to do more and I loved the way you created a very logical progression to build the skill. Aside from the lesson, dude, you are HOT in those shirts...just sayin'. But back to drums, keep rockin' and thanks! -LP
Thank you LP! I am glad to of help. And thanks again for your sweet compliment:)
Hey
Great lesson thank you! I just wanted to ask something, I’m at the moment stuck at 100 bpm for weeks and it feels like I won’t come higher, I’m not quitting or anything I just don’t know how I should go forward and get faster
Great lessons .. my veins started pulling me to drums .. ☠️☠️
Thank you so much for this video. I realized I've been doing more of an endurance exercise to gain speed. Just frustrating and seeing no improvement. I've been stuck in 140-150bpm range for years. I've already learned guitar from scratch and nailed down songs in 160-175bpm range while still stuck on drums. I'm very optimistic this exercise will get me over the hump!
I'm already up to 16 notes @160bpm doing the exercise 1-2 per week since I last posted. I was having trouble in the 150-160bpm range jumping from 8x to 16x, so it helped a lot to add a 12x step in between.
Woohoo! My 160bpm is really solid now, I'm working on 170bpm now.
This is one of the best exercises I've ever tried! I've had more progress in the last month than the two years I had my double pedals. Thank you Erce! I actually have one question. How long do you play each exercise?
Great to hear, you are welcome:) you can do these exercises as much as you can. There is no time limit. I usually quit exercising when I feel like I am not able to do the exercises, play the beats healthy.
Hi I like you videos. How long it took you to reach that speed? 200 bpm...
6:38 eyebrows dance
So no flaming with eyebrow dance :)
Is exercise #3 the same as Pantera Domination?
Erce abi selamlar öncelikle.UA-cam'da bu denli ayrıntılı ve ders gibi anlatan başka kanal yok teşekkür ederim.Ben 20 yaşındayım 13 yaşından beri davul çalıyorum.Evimde 2 yıldır da elektronik davul var.Şu zamana kadar twin pedal hızımı arttırmayı pek sallamadım açıkçası çok fazla death metal tarzı hızlı twin pedal kullanılan tarzlar çalmadığım da dinlemediğim de için.3-4 aydır kafama taktım hızlandırmak için haftada iki üç kere twin pedal egzersizleri yapıyorum.3-4 ay önce 120 bpm de 5-6 dk 16lık nota anca çıkarırken şimdi 140 da 10 15 dk durmadan çalabiliyorum.Ancak 1 aydır hiç bir gelişim gösteremedim,egzersiz yapmama rağmen 140'ın üzerine çıkamadım.Bir twin pedal platosuna girdim sanırım... Egzersizlerim şöyle oluyor genelde rrrr rrrr llll llll rrrr llll rrrr llll rlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl.Bunu ilk önce 100 bpm sonra 105 bpm ... diye artırarak gidiyorum. Kanalını yeni keşfettim.Bu videoda gösterdiğin egzersizleri uygulayacağım. Bir de şöyle bir sorun var ki atıyorum 130 bpmde 16lık twin atarken sıkıntı yok ancak sadece sol ayağımla aynı bpmde llll... diye gittiğimde sol ayağım çıkaramıyor o tempoyu.Yani sol ayağım twinde aynı hızda sorun çıkarmıyoken sol ayağımla 8lik vuruşu aynı metronomda yapamıyorum.Umarım anlatabilmişimdir...Napmalıyım? Sol ayağımla bilekten çalınca daha da güçsüzleşiyor hem.Sağda bilekten de bacaktan da çalsam sorun olmuyor.Sol ayağım için bu gösterdiğin videodekilere ek bir şeyler yapayım mı yoksa senin bu video gösterdiğin egzersizler yeterli midir? Şimdiden teşekkür ederim biraz uzun oldu ama kusura bakma :).Sen twin pedal hızını artırırken neler yaşadın,benim gibi bir seviyeyi aşamadığın durumlar oldu mu ve nasıl bunu atlattın , acaba ben mi aceleci davranıyorum gelişimin bu hızda olması normal mi ,bu konudaki tecrübelerini de paylaşırsan çok sevinirim... Kanal çok iyi İngilizce yapman iyi olmuş bu arada çünkü davul konusunda böyle videolar İngilizce olarak bile yok :)
Utku selamlar. Rica ederim:=) Öncelikle yaşadığın sorun gayet normal, çünkü sadece sol ayak ile solo çalarken beyin birincil uzuv olarak onu algılıyor fakat sen işin içine temel ayağını da soktuğun zaman sol ayağın bu sefer tamamen yardımcı pozisyona düşüyor ve sağ ayağın daha iyi olduğu için beyin bu sefer birincil uzvunu sağ ayağın olarak algılıyor ve sol ayağınla solo yapamadığın şeyi bu sefer beynin algılama sistemi değiştiği için yapabilmeye başlıyorsun. Mesela aynı şey şunun için de geçerli; ayağımızla 16'lık, trampet ile 4'lük bir şey çalarken ilk vuruşumuz (1'ler) trampet ile başlarsa 3'lerin trampet olduğundan bir tık daha hızlı çalabiliyoruz.. aslında tamamen aynı ritim ikisi de. Beyin nörolojisi ile ilgili bir durum. Diğer soruna gelince; 3 ayda 20 bpm arttırdım bir 3 ayda da 20 bpm daha arttırmalıyım gibi düşünme. Bu iş lineer bir şekilde gelişim göstermez, çok uzun bir süre takıldığın zamanlar olabilir, çok kısa bir sürede de büyük gelişim gösterdiğin zamanlar. En önemlisi moralini, disiplinini ve kararlılığını bozmadan çalıştığın şeye odaklanmak ve bunu düzenli bir şekilde yapmak.
Erce Arslan Çok teşekkür ederim Erce abi. Dediğin gibi sabredicem ve devam etcem çalışmaya durmak yok :)
Bu yorumu yapalı 3 hafta olmuş, gösterdiğin egzersizleri uygulayarak twin pedalımı 150 bpme çıkarabildim Erce abi teşekkür ederim .Çalışmaya devam hedefim 200 bpm :)
@@utkuurkun Oooh harika çok sevindim :)) Rica ederim.
Do you play with max tension on your pedal springs ?
it changes pedal to pedal. But I can say 'nearly max', not totally.
I would like your opinion regarding the purchase of double pedal bass. I'm a new drummer. Pearl p932 or Tama iron cobra 200 or Tama speed cobra 310 ?
This is something I can't answer because it's personal. If you have possibility I recommend you to try them. Also you can check out my 'Pedal Types' Lesson for some detailed information, maybe it could help.
What chair/Drumthrone are you using?
It's an ordinary office chair
@@ErceArslan thanks man!
Is better play it in 100, 150 and 200 bpm, or is better go gradually per 10 bpm may be?
Increase the tempo by 3-5 bpm.. little by little. In thr video I am just showing examples of slow, mid and fast tempo.
I really like your videos, but could you include the exercises as pdf or image in the description?
I can add some files after i've finished all the serie. Thank you🙏🏼
@@ErceArslan Ben teşekkür ederim :D
Take screen shots
Hey buddy great lesson. I'm from Colombia, a native spanish speaker, I can help you to improve your spanish translations. There are a lot of mistakes. Anyway I enjoy all your lessons and your teaching way. :)
Hi Christian! I don't know any word is Spanish so I don't know the quality of the translations:) If you type your mail, I can mail you the srt files for you to correct the mistakes. I really appreciate it, thank you very much for this.
How long should I do each exercise for? 2 mins each? 5 mins??
It's up to you. As much as you can
how long per day you recommend? when will it start to click ?
It depends on you, work until you get bored:)
Erce Arslan
been doing 2 hrs daily and im getting nowhere it seems. tough road
@@backslap6062 while doing the exercises don't just "do".. "concantrate and do". And be patient, it could take a long time
kk. tryin my best. im on it.
Progress update?
Do you think iron cobra is good?
Of course it's good. You can check out my pedal types video for detailed information about it.
Hi!
I have a question for you. What's the best way to play these exercises? First exercise play in increasing pace (I'm not a speed demon, so let's say 100-150 bpm), then the second exercise the same, then the third (and so on) or can play all exercises at one pace and only after reaching the correct form move to a higher pace ?
Hello. Yes the best way is exactly as you mentioned. Bpm is the key for the next steps. For those tempos you can increase around +3, +5 bpm for steps.
@@ErceArslan Thank you.
Then you have to get down to exercise. :)
Regards.
What metronome do you use?
Any metronome with cowbell sound
Merkezkantin? Diye bi kafa açayım. :D
Getting my damn double bass speed increased and controlled is so frustrating.
Hello dear friend. Can you give me an effective exercise to increase speed and control? Only one.
I am desperate.
Luke Drum Practice your endurance above all. And practice really fast short bursts like in this video.
@@viktorbjornstad_drums2nd440 thanks...
You should watch my first 5 lesson video and use the informations there as much as.. to build up your own exercises and speed
@@ErceArslan ok my friend..
This is great! John legend should really spend more time in the drums rather than on the piano.
I'm really wondering about the track in the intro
You can follow @ronninofficial on instagram:) album is on the mastering process by Jens Bogren🤘🏼 that song is called Zarathustra.
@@ErceArslan thanks a lot!
I dont see how he's not burying the beater at that angle. anything I do it sticks the beater into the drum unless I use a lot of leg lifting or painful ankle lifts.
how far is your resting beater angle 45 deg? I cant tell is his at like 30 or so?
he sits high doesnt he? what angle should your legs be at 45 apart and a little above 90 from the floor?
I’ve found that it’s all personal preference and what makes you feel comfortable and allow you to play the double bass comfortably
26 Apr 2020:
Started at 115bpm today. Not 100% tight.
I want to reach 200bpm by end of May.
Will keep updating periodically.
Tough challange:)
@@ErceArslan
2 May 2020 - I've been practicing almost every day. About 40mins on just these exercises. They are brilliant exercises to groove with.
Now I begin at 120bpm for 10-15mins and move up to 135bpm until I get bored/pissed off!
I have adjusted pedals and seat height. I can usually find the comfortable "flow" spot (hybrid between whole leg and ankle-up) but if I go faster than 135bpm my legs go into spasm mode and I lose control.
I can play along to Shortest Straw by Metallica with decent power.
I've got a lot of work to do to reach 200!!
@@conorm2524 nice to hear:) keep us posting, until you can play Dyers Eve😄🤘🏼
@@ErceArslan 11 May 2020 -
I think I'm regressing. I can just finish the exercises at 125bpm with decent power.
When I push it up to 130bpm I can make it until the 7-stroke exercises then my legs won't respond to my brain anymore. Legs don't feel tired or anything. They just turn into spasms!! Really frustrating.
Is this a mental barrier?
@@conorm2524 Can you complete 2-3 sets of the exercise up to 32x notes at 125bpm? If so I might step it up to 127bpm or something if you are having trouble at 130bpm. I was stepping up about 2.5bpm every other week. I also recommend doing three tempos each exercise like the video. Not sure if that's what Erce intended or not. In your case you could do 90, 110, then 125-130bpm at 2x, three tempos at 2x double snare, same at 3x, etc. It seems to really help starting slow each exercise right before increasing tempo. See if that helps...
I keep having a problem. I get up to 6 beats in a row at about 175 or 180 bpm but it's not maintaining it thats the problem. It's starting the beat. When I try and start it I often fail to get enough momentum the bring the beater back fully
Did you try to adjust your spring tension a bit tighter?
@@ErceArslan no it's at full tension. I found out the problem for me and that's that I find it easier without shoes. Without shoes I can do 200bpm
@@joshuamorris144 I can't say anthing certain unless I see you play but if you want more rebound; you can adjust the beater angle wider and your footboard a bit higher.
@@ErceArslan yeah it's all good now. Found the perfect settings for me. Just gotta build endurance
@@joshuamorris144 check out lesson 5;)
i think shoes matter.
It changes person to person. My Lesson 20 will be just about drum shoes.
Kinda? Other drummers I know wear light runners like Airmax etc. and it never worked for me. I found myself giving more effort. I normally use heavy skate shoes and idk I feel more comfortable with them
Hoy do you find time to excercise, drum and create videos... I can't find time for neither of them.
shia?
It looks like you balance isn't on point an you are leaning forward when playing double base.
And so what? Please tell me more about this balance.
@@ErceArslan Doesn't that mean some muscles in your legs are always in use because you are maintaining your balance? And if that's true then there isn't a time when legs can rest, therefore it hinders endurance.
@@ErceArslan Look for "James Payne Balance" on UA-cam, he explains this.
@@Bukoke Look for my 6th lesson "Sitting Positions". I explain this.
