      @bretdrummer haha, yea.. but hey Tony Laureno is the saw blade king and that makes us awesome for continuing his legacy haha I wonder what made him put a sawblade on his drums in the first place....🤔

    love it! what foot technique do you use?

    • @bretdrummer
      @bretdrummer  4 місяці тому +1

      Thank you sir! I mainly use ankle technique when going fast, low heel up, leaning forward to add more weight for pressure to go even faster, swivel happens naturally when it needs to. Will be working on my left foot forever, but I'm glad in the last year my work seems to be paying off.
      Mid speeds are (by far the most difficult for me) typically half full leg movements with natural swivel helping to save energy on the right leg with the right leading the way, always heel up. All singles.
      I realize a lot more could be achieved with doubles or heel toe, but I just don't like how either of them feel. My pedals are at max tension and I swing them from about 40° for extra power, so gaining control is a must for me. My pedals are so tight I almost feel like doubles are extremely difficult for me because my muscle memory is now so in tuned with singles doubles and heel toe feel alien to me. Theres also the potential of throwing about a thousand random notes in there with a mistake with doubles or heel toe. If I make a mistake with singles, it usually ends up being a single mistake. I think they are amazing techniques, I just am not good at them haha. I also like the way way my kicks feel rebound wise regarding the throw and pull of the beater, and don't want to make my bass drums too bouncy due to too tight a drum head. I wanna feel those hits in my chest hahaha. Id rather just do the singles and gain true control of them. To me singles have this unbeatable solid sound, once you get them you sound like a warrior and its terrifying haha. Not to say doubles and heel toe don't. John Longstreth is an absolute monster. Also Rivers Of Nihil's drummer used doubles on the kicks and they sound beautiful. I just like to do that stuff with singles.
      I have a long way to go. When I hear the likes of George Kollias I feel so intimidated by the discipline I must do my best to try to arrive and hurt people with my double bass just like him! hahahaha.

      thank you so much for your long reply, love talking to people playing this kind of music! i can totally understand the struggle with heel toe, but damn your fast as hell "even though" you only play ankle/swivel! it really gives me confidence to see people that dont use heel toe and still play that good. do you have any bpm goals you wanna hit? keep going and cheers mate!

      @@idk_niceguy no problem! I appreciate it when i can have interesting conversations with people! I also appreciate the engagement and you watching!
      Right now I'm comfortable at 235bmp bombing the double bass. I still have to become fully confident with my starting and stopping capabilities and keeping them clean, but I'm feeling pretty good here. Sometimes I'll jump up 10bpm and not hear it until I see the video. Working on tempo as well.
      I'm trying to push 250bpm so I can write some faster music, but if I can one day reach 300bpm how I play 235bpm ill be truly happy with speed. I have a lot of other things to work on other than speed but it all helps each other to a point.
      Humbly, I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be able to do any of this. When I first heard Nile back in the day, It sounded so inhuman I couldn't remotely comprehend what was going on. About ten years later, im starting to understand the basics of the more extreme style of metal drumming, and it feels great. Im no master in any way. I'm learning to use my limbs more effectively and independently. One big thing I wasn't very conscious of in my 16 years of drumming until about the last 3 years was balance. When I started applying quicker succession and more demanding techniques I would have to rely less on my left leg as a balance post and more on my hips and torso. I've been learning a lot especially in the last 6 months. Lots more to come my friend! Cheers!

      @@idk_niceguy Thank you so much, and I'm glad to hear it helps you feel confident! Use whatever technique works best for you to achieve the sounds you want the most. Fuck haters hahaha. Papa George always says, "its about the miles or kilometers, wherever you're from haha." Practice practice practice. And never stop. Although I do also beleive in taking a breather and not destroying your brain and body. Challenge yourself, temper yourself, steel yourself. But don't hurt yourself.
