Drums r the sexiest instrument plz dont be mad lulz
Congrats on being a partner of drumeo, that’s huge dude.
Thanks, I was really struggling on improvising jazz chords on the piano, after this video I can safely say I can play the guitar 😃👍
I've been playing guitar for over 30 years. After watching this video I finally got the weeds out of my yard and my pasta sticks to the wall like it's supposed to.
@Greg Love Thanks, Greg.
@Greg Love bro are you stupid hes playing a saxophone, of course it helps with guitar. Theyre both percussion instruments after all
@Greg Love oh Greg your a funny young lad
Yeahhhh the clip on microphone blew mid video after I played more drums :( huge fail lmao
As a metal drummer with terrible blast beats, I needed this thx Zach
it will come, they are my strongest part
i was literally just trying to find out how to improve my doubles speed so i can play chops with doubles :) u clutched up for me zack ly
remember that you don't need to push your foot super far up the pedal! more in the middle of the kick helps with accuracy and rebound force (i.e. speed)
@@Cobalt985 much appreciated m8
I’ve been trying to to find way to speed up my pedal speed I hope this helps thanks Zack
same dawg
That mic is trash
i've been drumming since i was 9, moderate training. no joke getting quicker at the kick just took listening to bands or drummers that utilized fast single pedal kicks and wanting to do it too. as long as you're not physically incapacitated, you should be able to train up to speed with repetition. you don't even need to be accurate! just keep going and trying to match your speed with what you hear in your head and you'll be hitting those louis cole kick fills in no time.
100% agree!!!
Bonham?
I’ve been needing this for a while, can’t seem to get my foot as fast as some other drummers.
omg same
I find that if u pour milk on your legs it helps things start coming together with kick pedal speed’ also if u call yourself Simon and then pour milk on your legs that can help get your speed up quicker’ but that’s just me’ hopefully it will work for u ✌️🥁✌️
Just borrow the foot of the other drummer, they won't mind.
@@AlexH4774 Great idea, who’s do you think would be best?
Would the same exercise work for the weaker foot, hi-hat clutch?
Was hoping for oceanography with my man Zach but this works too
Love the tutorial style stuff bro you’re easy to follow and the tips are genuine ✌🏼✌🏼
Great video, Zack! This is a great type of video, quick and objective lessons!
Woohoo congrats man! Looking forward to your Drumeo vids!
Thanks for helping me overcome my block with the weird mind foot thing. Also CONGRATS on the drumeo affiliate link!
Watching your videos makes my day. Keep up the great content
As a mainly metal drummer who plays plenty of really fast double bass, all I wanted to do was play to my favorite music, so I did. I if course sucked at first but just over repetition and continually trying faster and faster parts, eventually I was just able to do it. Maybe not a great way to teach but it worked great for me!
Love your humor. Keep going Zack
Drum masterclass delivered with comedic genius. This is fantastic!
You continue to make me glad and proud for buying your shirt, love you too❤
You are actually such a wonderful person that I subscribed
gonna try this tomorrow, thanks zack :)
I wish I knew that technique much furder, now I do that, but it took me a lot to develop, and my doubles now just simply come out naturally, and it's AWESOME, But really, thank you for making me realize that 🙏
Man I play guitar and piano, but I still love watching stuff like this cuz it’s just too funny lol. Keep being you man.
Good stuff! Would love more videos like this!
I can relate. I started recording myself bc I found myself wondering if I was even continuing to play with my feet after I'd get in the zone. I need to get louder but I still play the same when I'm focused on what my hands are doing, trying to create multiplied patterns of funk on fills. Thanks for the video. I like that beat you learned too
your swivel technique is smooth and small, very concise. i need to practice that small swivel movement until my leg falls off
dude i did this for an hour straight today starting at 130bpm, now i’m hittin 180bpm. incorporate some fills and make it saucy too. bro a gem for this one !
I like how you still try to be funny🤣🤣 makes my day and I learn something😂😂
I’ve gotten to the point in my drumming that I normally don’t think about my foot. But I want to learn double peddle someday and this might help!
I remember seeing that Tony Royster DVD in every drum catalog for years.
I don't leave a Zackgrooves video until I get mah smooch. 😙
Great lesson, man! Thanks for sharing.
Mic on neck, clear AF. all good. Thanks for the definitive tutorial on kick speed!
Lookin swole bro 🔥
This is beautiful
New mic sounds good just take out some boxiness in the low mids and you're set
Excellent! Very entertaining and great advice!
Thanks bro I love you for that one. ❤
Actually need this beautiful mans videos to keep breathing everyday, thanks for the smooch at the end as well. Love you bro?
The mic is really good! some EQ might be good cause of the low frequencies it has, maybe tune them down a little bit, add some high's and mids! :D
High Pass at 100-ish and boost at 2k-ish, light compression with 3 to 6 db of gain.
no i think the low end is amazing
@@prodpoob it's not bad, but it could be a little brighter and clear!
@@pHpTjMoney exactly 😊
Was it just me or was the bass drum peaking?
“Evolution” is such a dope Tony Royster Jr. project!
duuuude... thank you for being a drummer that does funny. so many ppl so serious.
Zack the Glasses Grooves back with another great drumming vid!
cuddi u lowkey everywhere i go onm
People ask how they do it
Me:skill
i think everyone needed this
That beat is iconic and blew my mind the first time I heard it back then
Great job! 🙏💯
amazing my man
Wow! Thanks! Really helped!!!! 😊
this helped a lot thank you
He said Oceanography....I felt that.
play anything written by joey jordison for a day and u got it
One of the ways I learned to develop a fast kick was from the song good times bad times by led zeppelin. I would practice that song religious and it took me a long time but it paid off in the end.
You could call it the 'slide' technique
(get it because he's wearing slides)
Haha very funny 😂
Thanks man I need to learn this kipp up the work
Awesome Video, Mic is good, just try to attenuate a litle the low mid frequencies and boost the high one for a little more clarity and perception bro!!
im literally wearing the same slides playing my own kik watching this video playing my kik AT LITERALLY THE SAME SPEED AS U
we twinning cuh
The glasses are swagalicious 👌
Lol the glasses and flip flops combo. I’m diceased XD
Great video man.
Now that is a wholesome drum lesson 🤓🤘
I def need this
This was a phenomenal educational bonding experience
yoo sick slippers bro !
When the world needed him most, he returned with another banger
Mic sounds great, you just need to reduce the level a bit as it's clipping. You can always bring the levels up in post
Zack back with the bangers!!!🔥🔥🔥
Sick
Evil Zack came out for a second when he alternated the toms
the way i learned was kinda trial by fire with playing Iron Maiden songs bc A) they were my favourite at the time and B) a lot of galloping grooves w no double bass (didnt have one at the time). slowing down tracks like The Trooper and Dream of Mirrors really helped me hone in that gallop technique as there wasnt anything too complicated going on with the hands, i was able to focus on the foot pedal. then once it became second nature, u start to speed up the song and holy shit im going fast
Thank you so much!
Yay, profesor Zack
That's the Problem with Lavs. Hypersensitive to movement, the connection just comes apart. I advise a wireless one if you gon do crazy shit bruh. Keep up the Great content G
I dont needed it but my low kick's speed was improved. Thank you!
I'm wondering do you have some exercise to increase hi hat's jingles? 🤙
I need to try this
i dont even play drums and this helped me
We just gotta get a set of gigacalves like yours! got it!
Def gonna practise that
thanks zack love u too 😘
Thank you Mr. Grooves
I love waiting for the kiss at the end
Letting it happen naturally makes it so much better but its so hard to do consciously. Very useful
Ever time I watch Zack play drums my need for a drum set: 📈📈📈
I had the exact same experience as a teen playing with grown adults and never getting paid lmao
Your vids crack me up 🤣
Thanks for the exersize, it's perfect for small brain drummers. Are those ambassadors or emperors on your rack toms?
Damn I'll try it
Maybe your mic is not bad, but you should add trebble in mixing. You had some saturation also, so many things can cause that. Personally I use supercardioid mics for both voice and drums. Great video as usual m8 ! Thanks for tips
I learned heel toe and that's what works best for me 👍
I can get pretty fast with heel toe, but i always felt like it was cheating, so I've been trying to work on my slide technique, and now I realize that its just another technique, so for those who are thinking that its cheating, its literally just another technique, doesn't matter, whatever works for you works!
Edit: spelling
Dude! Your calf muscle! Yes sir!
Also strengthen your calf and thigh muscles. Best way to do that without any equipment is whenever you listen to music, tap/stomp your kick drum foot to the time or double the time of the song if its slow. You’ll feel your calf start to ache and cramp; just keep going. It’s worth it
This. My double bass improved when I started going to the gym lmao.
@@Nightwalk444 I totally believe it!
@@Nightwalk444 what machine did you use for that?
@@loist4475 seated calf raise. Of course there are different types of machines but the main point is the same
Hey Zack have you try a double bass drum kit and all that stuff
Yes good stuff
watching Jon Karel's ankle stroke videos helped me alot
Your amazing.. Thank you... Your vids help me Fo real
damn thing works, ill start working on it rn
Mic sounds good. 👌
The god is uploadin
We love you Zack! :)
Hey, it helped - now we're both happy ;)
Playing in slippers man and doubles at that.... You know the guy is a beast
I was struggling so hard with my foot speed - just butchering the “slide” technique because I heard that’s how you did it, until a great teacher I had named Ray Garraway (rip) looked at my sad foot slide, made the stank face, and said, “just play it fast”. I dropped any notion of technique and just worked on doubles at various speeds to a metronome and now I’ve got decent speed and clarity.
Sounds like you had a great teacher! I’m sorry for your loss.
That’s similar to how I learned as well. Took me years to finally realize “oh, there are actual techniques involved with the foot?” Haha
@@ZackGrooves thanks for your reply! he was great - and always trying to get us to stop trying so hard… just relax and do the damn exercises. want them fast? then do them fast. can’t? well you can’t do them fast if you can’t do them slow. merry christmas all!
My turtule really like this tutorial, and now can play the drums to James Brown! 😀😀
