My drum teacher thankfully taught me this technique back in the late 80s and it's still the one that I use most often. A BEGINNER TIP: Start with your heel up and the beater against the head. Drop your heel down slowly to relieve pressure from the ball of your foot to the heel and feel the beater pull back. Imagine your foot as a rocker on an old rocking chair and repeat the motions, rocking your foot back into the starting position with heel up and beater against the head. YOUR FOOT NEVER LOSES CONTACT WITH THE FOOTBOARD.
🙌🏼🙌🏼 great tip!
This explanation made all the difference! Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
She's the miracle.
That beat at the end is tight!
Brilliant, love it. I've been working on this exact technique for a few months now (learned from another teacher on youtube) and it's great. Solved so many issues I was having. Doubles or however many strokes you need. Harder than it looks for sure but absolutely killer. Anika is legend and we should all be grateful for her sharing this gem with us 💛
Wow! 🔥 Thanks for sharing Anika!! 🤩
It's like a reversed heel toe and it is super useful! I'm currently working on developing both direction, and after 8 months of practice i can do them at 160 bpm with almost no efforts for a minute straight. It's a long path to gain high velocity but your drumming will have huge benefits from this, especially in balance, power, precision and....of course for great doubles! If you practice both direction after a while try jim chapin section 1 with the feet, you'll be surprised :)
exactly.
Thanks for the awesome lesson Anika! 🥁❤️
Some sweet grooves! Nice lesson, thanks!
Can't wait to try this technique!
Nice technique! Thanks much for sharing.
That was absolutely awesome Anika! Hope one day I could mastered like you!
Thank you for breaking this down for us Anika. Always a joy to watch you at your craft. Loving "For a Colorful Soul" too!!
Thank you for showing us this technique much love from South Africa
Such a great vid!
Definitely gonna work on this!
Fantastic explanation. Really like her playing.
Because of you, I've changed a lot of my technique. You are an inspiration, without doubt! This heel toe technique on the kick is proving to be a God send! A while back I even reversed my number one and two toms due to you! I'll never go back! Thanks for all you bring to the craft!!! You rock!!!
Awesome 🔥🔥🙌🏼
You make a wonderful practice of teaching
Thanks for share this!
Really good! And very interesting. Thank you.
Sua técnica é incrível uma execução perfeita
Brilliant this drummer. Thanks for the tip. I'll practice.
The technique is also known as ankle/leg technique. The concept behind it is to keep your heel down as much as possible. Use ankle motion on the first stroke and downward leg motion on the second stroke allow your heel to touch the bottom on the pedal on the second stroke. This is the very technique I use for playing my bass drum. Takes time and lots of practice to master. Gets easier once the muscle memory starts to develop.
Yup and if you build your ankle technique up strong enough you can get to a point where you can use all ankle still with some good oomph. Takes lot of time but rly can be effective once mastered.
@larrytate1657 That's not the point of this technique. You're getting into a completely different technique. Ankle only technically eventually leads to repetitive stress and tendinitis later.
WOW ! Very Cool Thank you Anika!
Great Stuff Anika.!!.....Nice to see your big toe is healed! Godspeed!
Toca muito 👏👏
Nailed it thanks
Very neat. I accidentally taught myself the "slide" technique when I first started drumming. Found out a couple of years later is was an actual technique drummers used. I've honed it over the years to where it is effective and easy to use. This technique looks really cool, though.
I've seen people use one called the "heel-toe" technique. I gave that a try and managed to get the idea how to use it but, it's not mastered at all. I'll definitely work on this "push-pull" technique. Thank you for sharing. I think techniques are great to break down and learn.
Inverted ‘heel/toe’ method. Sweet! Amazing what can be done with a single bass pedal 👍🏻
It's like the Sandford Mueller technique for you feet method nice job well explained Anika!!🤗
Nice to see that Anika's right foot has healed and is working fine. It's amazing, that she was able to quickly learn and do all the bass drum work with her left foot in the first couple of weeks during the summer tour with Beck 🎵🌻🎶
Do you think she used a double bass pedal ? But then what about the hi hat ?
Very cool! 👍🏻
Also nice to see she is using the old Tama imperial Star snaredrum, ( back from the 80's) it still sounds great.
The best👍
She's a great player!
This is exactly how steve gadd performs he kick motions. 👌nice job Anika 👏👏👍
Saw you with beck this week. You are tight! You flow over your kit with precision.
Cool!👍🥁
I been applying this to single foot blast beats in my metal project. I dont trigger and i ferl this keeps the power of the strokes.
great lesson!
What a great technique from an amazing artist! Question… noticed that Anika is using Powerglide, did anyone hear ever use the Rolling glide, and what do you think of it? Is there really a big difference between the two?
Super control....x
i like this
Only for information, the name of this technique is "costant release", Freddie Gruber's school. Very cool!
Wow I love it thats a bad azz grove.
Nice.
very nice! looks a lot like a sort of inverted heel-toe to me
Slide technique gang forever lmao
I'm not a drummer but was impressed by this
This amazing....I also think Zack Hill has some amazing foot technique...but he doesn't explain how he does it. Thank you Anika for making this video
That's where my problem is ,with the base drum pedal ..your foot looks so relaxed while playing it
Love you. You are a unique drummer as well as a inside and outside beauty.
She really good drummer
informative..
I have the same shoes!
Notice the beater length is set very long, the large beater also acts as a counter weight with rebound and the spring tension looks some what tight
I find adding beater weights helps too
That's what I had in mind. So spring tension matters or let's say, beater length, beater weight, drum head tension.
I mean there are drummers I ask about spring tension and the answer was: I don't care.
But for more advanced foot techniques these are definitely important parameters.
My favorite part of this vid was slowing it down to 0.25x and watching the waves of energy ripple thru her pantlegs, up from the cuff to knee after her leg & foot dropped all the way down and stopped. It's beautiful, and hypnotic.
Great lesson! I keep trying this since 20 years. But it's not really working with shoesize 13.5, maybe because the pedal is not long enough 😢
i use this for up tempo blast beats
magnifica.
Lol. I just tried it. 😪 you made it look so easy. Yet here I am, looking like its my first day using my foot. 🙃 not to mention in a bout two minutes my leg started to ache.
I'll get to that later. Such an easy looking motion and i still struggle. 😆
Why do you have to start the opposite ( flat foot to toe ? ) if you have 3 or 5 strokes in a row ? 😮 it looks one could just do tip - flat foot - tip without any problem though 🤔
Is it when you start them on the 2sd or 4th sixteenth notes ?
sounds great & groovy huh ? why does so less foot-movement create so many fast hits?? very good demonstration and explanation
I'd like to see a collaboration between yourself and King Glyk. That'd be a great rhythm section.
Thanks….it seems the Heel, ball of foot and toes work in sequence….just have to get used to the “feel” of the pedal….
Hallo Anika, tolles Video (leider in englisch😢) andere Frage gibt es ein Video indem du dein Drumset erklärst so zu sagen ein Drum Rounddown fände ich mal ganz interessant.
Ansonsten wünsche ich dir weiterhin viel Erfolg und Gesundheit.
Hau rein
Liebe Grüße, HP 🥁
👍
Your snare seems to be vintage... what is it?
Hi Anika. I guess the track ' Walk this way ' by Aerosmith is a good example of using 3's or any Hip Hop track
cela a l'air tellement facile avec toi!...
that heel and toe
That last groove would sound cool on the tom-tom..advanced drummer tom,bass,snare and hi-hat..da da da da da daaaah...the ride cymbal being the daaaaahhh..so basically it's a drum roll or fill..another example is starting with a bass drum cymbal combo to begin the fill and ending in the same combo..double the fill going from same combo above and doing it twice, forward and backwards..
Example Genghis Khan Iron Maiden
I accidentally discovered this way of playing. But it doesn't work for me, because I'm a hard hitter and this doesn't provide enough power for me. Probably I need to develop more.
If she uses a BD lift, the tone of the kick will be better, and the higher the BD, the better for setup.
I once used a pedal that would come back and slap the top of my foot. It caused a huge bruise. :(
Constant release technique.
I BELIEVE LARNELL LEWIS HAS A VERY SIMILAR TECHNIQUE THAT HE DESCRIBES ON A DRUMEO VIDEO CLIP IT'S CALLED "LIGHTNING FAST SINGLE KICK-LARNELL LEWIS".
Speed up and slow down by exploring and exercising..
From my foot I guess I would need a longer pedal board
Yeah! Nice shoes! And now I am gonna watch some Fleshgod Apocalypse Drumming....................
Good technique... Santa Claus...
Like Jeff Porcaro.
Did Jeff do it like this too?
@@codersexpo1580 check out 9:10 mark here. He used to slide the pedal.
ua-cam.com/video/iMLGPD-nyT4/v-deo.html
@@codersexpo1580 I think in his instructional video he did a slide technique...but he may have done this too.
Funky bass groove, porcaro would be jealous. Now the other foot? This is an older video, you must be along the way already.
This is heel-toe technique, isn't it?
Heel toe is a little different from this. Hard to explain. But if you check out Drumeos video of the heel toe, you’ll see what I mean. As someone else mentioned, I believe this technique is called constant release? Steve Smith has a pretty good video on here explaining how he does it.
abso(fucking)lutely
Get a round cam
huh. so it's like toe-heal instead of heal-toe.
Four in a row? 17 girls in a row. Anyone? I’m so sorry😆if seriously this is a good technique
Awesome.
She had me with her voice, but then the Vans...
Thanks Anika. I think any player worth his/her salt would know the double hit and the bouncy/slam foot technique. A double to the double is a challenge for those with weak calf muscles. The sound is great, if you can keep it consistent. Any variation and you sound like a wounded toad. Anika always sounds as if she has three hands anyway. And, she should marry me.
🙄🙄🙄with all due respect Jojo Mayer explained this in the 90's in a more articulate way hahahaha
His technique is a bit different… that’s all I’ll add to your comment.. with all respect
👍
