I took the time and energy to learn heel up, and I’ve got no foot problems any more. It’s well worth the time and energy - I can play so much faster and with a lot more power, and less fatigue. If you watch a lot of great drummers, most play heel up.
Yes heel up is the way. Otherwise you're working with an inefficient lever. However heel down practice is good practice to isolate the ankle motion.
Yes! I think the heel down were the self taught drummers that never got into quicker speeds especially faster double bass.
Sometimes doing 16th notes at higher bpm for a bit of time, I feel like my pedal and foot is working so well I am not even giving it any force.
I also think adding a pillow that touches the bass drum head really helps. I have a port hole so luckily I just shove it through there then if needed I trigger my bass drum.
@@XenoTravis cool man, thanks for sharing! Come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing one really good drummer on UA-cam, who plays with his heel down anytime in the last couple years.
Totally unrelated, but I appreciate anyone who's repping the comfiest bean slippers in existence. Haters gonna hate, I'll never stop
The crucial points that i understood here...
1. Distance to the beater
2. The knee angle.
3. Muscle memory (with practice of course)
😊
I was experiencing this after setting my kit up in a new practice space that's a little more cramped, thanks for the dive! 🖤
Very nice lesson Stephen. Thanks much for posting.
Its not that my foot gets tired, but sometimes my foot doesn't move the way I wanted. Usually 16th notes.
I just wanted to say that I have watched a few of your videos and I really like where you're coming from, you're doing a good job.
Thank you Stephen!
Great, as usual. Thank you
Stephen, a great video, can't wait to have a go at em all. Thank you..
Thank you brother
very good lesson .
Scooting to the edge of my throne and moving it back made a huge improvement!!
Thank you so much for this video, I’m having the same problems.
u r sepecial. thanks a lot.
I tried scooting my throne back a couple of inches…. Wow! So much better ! Thanks!
I'm not even a drummer but I find it very interesting. I'm invested a lot in my drums as I program them for my songs, and I was just thinking about playing with heel down, because I was remembering when I played drums for some months years ago, and the part where the thigh meets the hips, I don't know the name, hurt a lot by playing heel up. I've thought you can play with heel down but I didn't search any proper information about it before. Very clarifying. And I also like a lot more when you bounce it. Makes a lot of sense for several reasons. Making two moves for making a hit, one for releasing it from the head and another one to actually hit it, doesn't seem to me the most efficient way and the easiest way to keep it on time, though I'm sure people have their reasons to do it that way too. Thanks for all the explanations.
Great course!
I want to learn drums but i hate practicing. I try to learn songs, and, i know i'll be controversial, but i play a LOT of Rockband 4.
The game does not teach you to play, but to build stamina and get comfortable movong around the kit, it's a lot of fun. I like both because the more i play Rockband, the more i want to be a real drummer and do my own stuff without the game so it motivates me to practice.
My biggest problem now is my foot wanta to take a vacation after some fast kick intensive songs. It just does not want to follow doubles anymore. I'll try those tips you said here.
My lower leg keeps wanting to move back away from the bass drum and right smack underneath my knee. How do I fix this problem?
Any exercise ideas to develop the "samba" bass beat? (and 1, and 3) I can't write the notes here. I' really weak and uncomfortable beyond 150bpm
Stephen i am heel up player,i play from 5 years now,i have pain under my feet about 1 week,can you tell me advices how to play without a pain.I try heel down and pain is gone but bass sound is quiet,i am not feel right with heel down,i play all 5 years heel up.Regards
1979 by Smashing Pumpkins is a great kick drum agility song
My problem more than a weak hand is I get kinked up! Sometimes it’s a fill, sometimes it’s a bass drum foot kick. So frustrating! FYI I’m 6’3” I can’t seem to find a throne that allows me to sit high enough. I’m open to advice / ideas!
I’m a heel-up player.
Moccasins are the best drum footwear lol...
That's all I play in...
Someone tell Dave Lombardo it's awkward to play heel up if you sit low.
My foot is like a vegetable when i practice some song
Too much waffling just aimed at getting people to download his 3 steps.
