    Gene Hoglan is best known among drummers for his blazing kick drum speed and endurance, so when he gave us a visit we just had to pick his brain and learn some cool techniques he applies behind the kit.
    In this lesson, Gene will teach you how to play fast three-note flurries on the double bass with a foot technique that allows him to keep leading with the same foot. This is a great drumming hack that will not only strengthen your double strokes on your main bass drum foot, but also prevent you from needing to learn how to lead with both feet while playing double bass.
    The fastest way to get faster on drums:

    I actually discovered this decades ago when trying to deconstruct Becoming by Pantera. it was too awkward to play the pattern with alternating hits, and that's when I tried the double slap. worked like a charm.

    Gene is great to learn from. He isn't pretentious about his playing. He makes it easy. A lot of drummers want to make things more difficult than they actually are by pretending like what they do is impossible. Drumming is confidence. The more you believe you can do the easier it all becomes.

  • @samuliauno8163

    Several people here are commenting that "Drummer N.N from band xxxyyyzzz did this on year yyyy already".
    Does that matter? Gene never claimed that he'd come up with that pattern or technique himself. He doesn't even claim that he'd invented Hoglan blast! Stop comparing and appreciate a good lesson.

    • @williamcozart9166
      @williamcozart9166 5 років тому +14

      Thomas Haake plays Bleed a little more precisely with 32nd note bursts as opposed to the Vinnie Paul style Gene is performing here. Bleed by Meshuggah is true polyrythmic pattern that only lands back on the 4/4 IF performed exact, otherwise the pattern would get jumbled and not be in sync with the guitar/bass patterns, where as this has less precise small bursts of 16th triplets or 32nd notes but still as heavy and effective in Becoming by Vinnie P./Pantera. RIP. BTW Iv'e never had an emotional reaction to a celebrity before Dimebag Darrel's murder and now Vinnie Paul's death actually still make me fucking cry when I think about it. Pantera was everything when I was in school in the late 90's and their music actually helped me with confidence problems that I had. PAN-FUCKING-TERA!!!

    He's the kind of Metal-drummer, who just have the right sound on both bass/snaredrums. The double bass is always clear, without having too much click-sound, they're still deep & heavy.. His signature is his tightness + fill-inn's w. splash, chrash, cymbals, etc.. He's just relaxed, NO show off, His chilly attitude, just shows this is his right element.. Funny though, that he is a left handed drummer, but have his kit setup, as a right handed… By far one of the best drummers in the "Tech. Death Metal"-genre.. Horns from Danmark

    • @gaspar-animal-ribeiro5414
      @gaspar-animal-ribeiro5414 5 років тому +18

      Musa Tariq Actually most of the song is leading with the right foot (or left, if you are a leftie) and even tho you need a lot of stamina, the leading foot does not change, and that helps a lot. If you want a really fucked up example, check Pantera's song Becoming and pay attention to the double bass pattern Vinnie Paul did.
      Cheers

    • @DutchMarko
      @DutchMarko 5 років тому +23

      Actually it is not. Haake does not use the double slap, only alternates, causing his leading foot to change from right to left and back constantly. Makes it even more impressive though.

      I don’t know if ‘easier’ is the right word since they require different traits of playing.
      Bleed requires speed and super high endurance while Ectogenesis or The Woven Web (basically anything from Animals as Leaders) is more about complexity and structure

    • @MusaTariq25
      @MusaTariq25 5 років тому +3

      Yeah my bad; woven web and ectogenesis are fine examples of Garstka’s exemplary skill and mastery. Bleed is harder in terms of stamina, but the AAL patterns are more complex in composition, obviously.

    • @MusaTariq25
      @MusaTariq25 5 років тому

      Becoming is awesome, learning that one was tough but rewarding; Bleed is an alternating kick pattern (which is insanely hard to play and keep in time)

    Hi, Drumeo. I would like to see a demonstration on the new Duallist D4 kick pedal. I think this will change drumming styles forever. I use one D4 on my main bass and a regular, non attached on the second bass drum. The variations make this look elementary. Check it out.

      Joe JG Maybe look at your sexual preference if you think this look gay. Come out the closet man, no need to stay inside anymore it's 2018..

    Damnit Gene I've been focusing on this kind of thing lately and now you're giving away a secret of mine! Lol, but really it's just kinda adding triplets before or after the main beat to try and swing it a bit. (Or you can try to play more quantized if you want) If you guys are having trouble with it, try playing a slower shuffle with your foot but keep whatever hand that's keeping time on the hats or ride doing eighth notes and that'll help you get it down for sure.
