How To Play Fast Bass Drum - Simple Exercises To Develop Speed And Coordination
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Some nice simple exercises I find useful for building up the bass drum speed and coordination for the Grade 3 and 4 level - especially quick 16th doubles.
Get lots of messages about how to play this or that groove from a Grade piece or song, usually involving playing a quick double on the kick, at around the grade 3 or 4 level. I feel the best way to go about it is to do a bit of groundwork with these basic exercises. Then with a bit of speed and coodination in place, those sort of patterns should come a bit easier.
I use heel-up technique on the kick pedal but these exercise would work equally well with heel-down.
Have fun and please let me know if any questions :)
Mike, just want to say your lessons are invaluable to a beginner like me. Your passion and enthusiasm really gives me the motivation to see through the challenges of drumming. 👍
Great to hear, cheers David and thanks for watching 🙏🏻👊🏻
Mike, how does the personal plan work. My county has just been put under restriction so not able to go to my normal lesson
How do you not have more subs ur better than some channels with 1m subs thx for the lessons Mike
Minestars Dnr Ha ha, thanks and really glad if you’re finding it useful. Please tell your friends! :)
@@MikeBarnesDrums Everyone in my music class already know about you and whenever we play a new grade song my teacher says "search it up you can play it along with that guy"... That guy referring to you haha
Minestars Dnr ah that’s great! I’m honoured and thanks for letting me know man!
Agreed, as I type he has 14.1k subs. I'm very happy to be one of those. What a great channel.

Love it, the Alabama Shakes track still gives me the willies.
Hi Julian, yep this should build some of the necessary speed and coordination for you, go for it and cheers for watching. Go slow, keep going and you'll get it.
Just brilliant...a real help and a re visit of hand to foot coordinator exercises with notation counting too.. something I'm doing with my grade 4 at my the moment.....
Thanks Mike...just brilliant..

Needed this!!!
I’m seeing this late but it’s a great lesson. Really has me concentrating. It’s on of those that sounds so easy on paper but it very tricky. For me at least. Back to practicing now!
Tony Lomas Cheers Tony, cheers for tuning in as always! Yeah this is a great little one - stick with it, it’s a brilliant skill builder. Cheers man 👊🏻
Hi MB, this video help put things in perspective so well! Hope you had a good Christmas and a happy new year all the best for 2022!!
You too Mark!
Cool lesson ! Thanks !
Thanks for watching man, have fun with it!
@@MikeBarnesDrums I have been practicing my bass drum for a year and I still can not get it right. It is still not fast and not precise. I guess time will do it.
Keep going! And if you haven't, I'd really recommend finding a great teacher who can feed back to you on your technique, practice method etc.
Other than that, yes it's just time and effort, good luck man!
Wow this is helping... After a few goes it works!!! Thanks, then I'll go back to Alabama Shakes song and see....
Give it time man, really does take time and consistent effort for those physical skills to bed in :) Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Great 👍👍👌👌Thank you 👍🔝🔝
Cool
A big issue I have now, and realise I’ve always had, is that my drum teacher taught me heel down from day one.
I was taught heel down and bury the beater (hold it against the drum). I feel like my muscle memory adapted to this and I’m stuck
Yeah big fan of heel up for this type of bass drum playing. You'll learn it - with patience and dedication. Thanks for watching.
Why does it feel like my leg weighs a thousand pounds? I get tired after 5-10 bars
You need to build your endurance and speed man - sustained effort doing quality repetitions over time: ua-cam.com/video/h765abWe_us/v-deo.html
