My favourite drummer in the last few months, solid as a rock, awesome technique and control, you just look like the perfect drummer to hire when you need to nail any kind of genre, especially when it's about heavier stuff. Greetings from Italy, keep up the excellent work Jeff! 🤟🏻
Ah, thank you very much. Greatly appreciate those kind words. 🙏
SENSACIONAL MAESTRO
Thank you, Marcos!
Well Jeff, this video was a good motivation for my double bass drumming in such, I just order your essential double bass drumming Technique book.
Excellent! Let me know if you have any questions. Welcome to the Double Bass Family!

You're a great teacher, man.👏 I have a feeling that you could be teaching any subject, and the message would come across. Your style is clean, precise, just like your drumming.💪
Thank you for that 🙏I had great teachers who influenced me a lot. I'm grateful to be able to carry the torch of clear education.

Oh great! I'll be preparing for the attacks. Thanks for the heads up! 😆
🤣
You are so frigin SOLID!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Bob!
This video is great. I've been drumming for about a year and have improved alot but always struggled with my feet and never really practiced base pedal. I can only play slow sloppy double base. My double pedal is os cheap and squeaky though. This video helps alot
Double bass takes a bit of time to develop. First step is just start using your left (hihat) foot as your main bass drum to get comfortable with playing a kick pedal as opposed to a hihat. They feel quite different. Also, you don't need to spend money on a fancy pedal. Just something that works.
Thanks for this! I hope I'll get good at db. Lots of work to do 😅
My pleasure! If you desire to play Double Bass you will make it happen.
Great great lesson!!
Id go to a drum camp for a week if you offered one?
Thanks, Gianni! That will happen.
Hey Jeff, I have issues incorporating drum fills efortlessly in my playing, what advices can you give me in this situation?
I've learnt a lot of patterns but when I do my grooves and i ads more ghost notes or bass drum notes I gst lost and I can't play them accurately..
Ieven play in a worship band and I feel that I concentrate on the groove, what my feet and hands are doing and I can't incorporate some complex drum fills..
With any type of fill vocabulary development you always start with what you can play, even if it's simple. Try to play one fill you're already comfortable with and play it on different voices of the instrument. Then change the length: play half of it or double it. Work on transitioning in and out of grooves: play 3 bars of groove and 1 bar of the fill. Make sure your don't rush or drag the fill. Next take another fill you can easily play and go through this same process. Lastly combine these two together to finally create something "new".
UM....how about that little fill at the end?
Basically a combination of these 2 technique:

Have you always had a closed hihat on the right side of your kit?
It makes sense to me because you don’t have to worry about opening and closing the left one.
Thanks,
Pete
Hey Pete, I've had a right side x/closed hat for most of drumming life. I like the "stereo" effect as well as the open feel, especially when playing double bass.
Do you have experience using low budget bass pedals? Is a 100 dollar double bass pedal harder to use than more expensive one? If so is it a big deal?
As with a lot of hardware, you get what you pay for. With bass drum pedals specifically, you can build a solid technique with cheaper pedals which ultimately will help you take advantage of what more expensive pedals can offer (i.e. smoother, more reactive). Bottom line: when you're just starting out, low to mid range pedals will work just fine.
@@JeffBowders thanks!
Hello Jeff. Great playing, but why are both of your feet at an angle to the footboard? Feels weird and stresses the bearings of the pedal. Doesn't it? 🤔
Hey Gerald, great question! Most feet naturally fan out so if the pedals are set up straight ahead, this is the result. You can angle the bass drum(s) to line up with you natural foot position and this will help you line up with the pedal board. I prefer to have my bass drum straight. In terms of stressing the bearings, yeah maybe they do receive more stress. I've only broke one hinge on a pedal (20 years ago on a Pearl Eliminator that I had for 2 months, most likely defective). So, it's up to you. I choose not to get too hung up on this details, but I appreciate the question! Good luck!
