  • Hi everyone ! 🔥
    Today I’m going to answer a question many of you asked for a long time now !
    WHAT IS MY FOOT TECHNIQUE ? It’s time for me to unveil and explain it.
    It’s called double strokes and allows me (and many other drummers) to play very high tempos for extended periods of time.
    I’ll show you in details how to understand, assimilate and master the technique to be able to play fast.
    Small teaser : Last footage is 280bpm… 🥁
    As always, do not hesitate to ask my anything. I will answer each and everyone of you with pleasure !

      Lol Don't feel bad I've been playing drums since I was 7 and yet I still watch guitar videos all the time, all while wishing I could play like the people in the videos. Drumming is like second nature to me and don't get me wrong I'm still passionate about it today as I was a kid, which is why I'm trying to see are these pedals he's using worth the price tag. But not a day goes by that I don't wish I could play guitar as well, I have tried and tried and I just can't get the hang of it so I gave up.

      @@joelansinger8527 Check out what John Longstreth is doing with this technique. He gets the power on both strokes. It's a slight variation on this.
      But keep in mind that even he uses triggers, because if he didn't, his speed would be a muddle on an acoustic kit. This technique has been developed for speed. An acoustic bass drum, by its very nature, is compromised at these speeds. Triggers are the only thing that will make the speed negotiable, irrespective of the foot technique.

Your example of the double stroke technique is outstanding and I will start working on this technique immediately…. It looks very comfortable and smooth. Btw, I have the same shoes, I was stoked to see you using them as well, they are great shoes. Too bad they don’t give me super foot speed like you, lol… Keep up the great videos.

      Try the ankle technique, that works with chain driven pedals and you can play until 240 a 250 bpm without triggers. Faster as well, but then the definition of the sound gets blurry. And less volume as well.

      @ThomasCremier  Рік тому +5

      To be honest, I can do the same thing on my Pearl Eliminator, chain drive, short board.
      It won’t be as comfortable yes. But I can play the same thing.
      Gear is just a tool. Without technique you won’t play faster or better if you just have a better pedals or any equipment.
      Give a beginner guitarist the greatest guitar on earth, he won’t make it sound great, at the contrary.
      But give the cheapest guitar to a pro guitarist, he will make it sound good and transfer emotions 😊
      But what I can say about triggers, is that it is necessary for fast tempos, whatever technique you are using (swivel, heel toe, heel up, heel down….). Or else, it will be a buzzing sound.
      Triggers are needed for fats tempo to be heard and having the precise attack 😊.
