The future is in our feet!
There’s so much we can do with feet as an extension of our hands. Think of it this way: whatever you do with your hands, you should try to do with your feet. This is one way to get control and express creativity in ways you might not have imagined.
Not everything is about speed, but if you could have the ability to play fast when you need to, wouldn’t you want to work toward it?
In this video, we go over a pattern from the book Stick Control (page 5, exercise 11). With your heels down, play one note on the right foot (on the bass drum) followed by three on the left (on the hi-hat). If your left foot is weaker, this might be tough at first. Find a tempo where you can play it, but where you have to work for it. Slow it down if you need to. “Tension is the enemy of movement”, and you don’t want to feel tense or tight while developing strength. Once you’re comfortable playing the pattern heel down, work on it with your heels up.
When working on double bass patterns and speed - or practicing drums in general - pay close attention to your posture. How high do you sit on your seat? How close are you to the drums? Make sure you have good balance and that you aren’t straining or reaching. If you’re slouching, you’re in a position of tension. Sit up and tuck in your lower back so your lungs can fully expand to get the air they need to give you the energy you need.
Now bring these patterns to your bass drum pedals, and try them both heel down and heel up. By improving your control, power and articulation, these exercises will eventually get you to a place of speed.
Try a call-and-answer phrase, like a flam or roll pattern. Play it on the snare drum, then repeat it with your feet. Again, take it slow if you need to, but push yourself.
Your arms and legs are part of the same unit. Don’t forget to work on all of it!

RIP Dom.
Rip Dom. Thanks for all that you have done for us. Truly legend now.
"Repetition starting at 40 bpm and slowly work up the speed" is the "Eat right and excercise" of drumming...and damnit that it works.
A.J. Wilkes Thanks so much!!!
Taking it slowly and putting in the time is the fastest way to see results.
@@DrumeoOfficial Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways... 😆
@@DrumeoOfficial it's funny: the "Conventional Wisdom" is to START SLOW AND CLEAN AND BUILD UP YOUR SPEED.... but i've always done the exact opposite, and that seems to be a MUCH FASTER (and far more FUN) way to practice:
I'll push myself to play guitar or drums AS FAST AS I CAN (as sloppy AF) and it's a FUN wild MESS... and each day it gets tighter and tighter.
I can't imagine the time-consuming prison of practicing stuff PERFECTLY but slowly.
MUSIC ISN'T ABOUT PERFECTION (unless you're training to join orchestras)!
IT'S ABOUT FUN!
Everyone takes half the fun out of music, sigh.
ALSO, ALL MY FELLOW MUSICIANS SAY I'M A GENIUS DRUMMER AND GUITARIST.... so my method MUST work!
(EX: I've only been playing drumkit for a few months and already ALL drummers who hear me say "you're AMAZING!", b/c I don't WASTE TIME with slow practice etc.) (I'm already doing stuff even a Thomas Lang Druminator can't do!) (Yeah, I can't do 99% of what he can do!) (I respect TL immensely, but that kind of dedication is not for me. Takes a LOT of the FUN out of music making.) (Plus, I practice outdoors and get paid by strangers! YEEEEEE-HAW!)
ALL EVIDENCE (so far) TELLS ME it's far more efficient (AND FUN) for musicians to NOT begin slowly and NEATLY... so spread the word!
(Note: I'm kind of an Art-Scientist who is always pushing every area of music to get Smarter, More Creative, More Efficient.)
@@DrumeoOfficial ALSO.... too many of you TURN MUSIC INTO WORK: math, memory tests, repetition, etc. THAT'S ANTI-FUN.
I have NO CLUE what a flam is or what a paradiddle is: I PLAY SOLELY FROM THE HEART AND MY IMAGINATION, and that might be why everyone calls me a brilliant, unique drummer, despite me only becoming a drummer this summer!
There is NO academia in my drumming. JUST PURE CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION AND LOGIC. (Plus, I really really hate all the cliches most drummers use.)
I absolutely love Dom Famularo. Makes practicing fun. This dude is a legend
Nick Kentros Thanks so much!!!
I finally got my first drumkit (a $200 ludwig jr with everything included), and stripped it down and tweaked it to play OUTDOORS... and I have a van, so any day when the weather is nice, I can pull over in any park or beach or ANYWHERE, and practice OUTDOORS. (!!!) (Takes about 30 seconds to set up my entire kit, b/c I attached almost everything to the 16 inch kick [which is still too big for my tastes!].)
NOT ONLY IS PRACTICING OUTDOORS infinitely better than practicing INDOORS.... strangers often HAND ME MONEY!! (Bonham and Buddy Rich didn't get PAID to practice!)
REMEMBER:
THE PAST IS NOT INTELLIGENT.
"if it ain't broke... there's still ALWAYS a smarter, more efficient, more-fun WAY..."
EVERY DRUMMER should have a TINY KIT for easy gigs, or to easily practice outdoors. It will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Dom is unbelievable. Such a great man and exceptional drummer. Thank you Drumeo and Dom.
That's what I like about drums and drummers. Other musicians often seem uptight and snobby, while drummers just have fun! Great energy and great lesson.
Wojtyła Thanks so much!!!
Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Drummers definitely stand out from the rest of the crowd!
You just have 2 think positive wojtyla ... I can see were coming from sometimes life is hard on people,,, drumming is sometimes not fun for others because they take it 2 heart & jealousy is a sad thing😢???. Of course U can't heel a broken universe,,, but sometimes U can only try your best 2 mend it, with love for others,,, & if people have hate in the lives because something went wrong in there life,, U should still never give up on them,. I would love 2 see my younger niece back on a drum set but I understand that it won't happen... Ever again because her sister & dad have given up hope on her😢 she was playing for Church the same goes for me but I know longer play drums ether for church. But I never thought it could happen like that???. it's never to late 2 try Again all in reply 2 wojtyla???. I had hopes up high for her, & she still try's 2 teach people at her school she is only 11 years old, & I have Respect for what she is doing, but her not having 2 be alive which is her Mum makes the picture a bit more difficulty hard settings all in reply 2 wojtyla, also thank Dom Famularo for your love for the Drums 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍...
Fun-having bass player here. What up?
Sir I think he meant in particular guitarists/vocalists, in my experience the bassist and the drummer are always the chilliest dudes without the huge ego
Words of wisdom from a fellow drummer:)
Double Bass is just for metal music
Dom: hold my beer
Bruno López Nepote Lol. Thanks so much!!!
Louie Belleson said different
venomagent76 I knew Louie! What was different?
@@GlobalDrumming he said hold my beer and helped to shape double bass drumming as a whole... An art form!
Great job Brother
@@GlobalDrumming I have learned this technique from Joe Franco, Bobby Rondinelli, You Italians are some Great drummers!
Watched Famularo and Billy Cobham at a live clinic. Jaw dropping technique. Double bass pandemonium!
This dude sounds like he would be that dope friend at party’s
Ace Cummings Thanks so much!!!
COCAINE - it's a HELLUVA A DRUG!
(WHY is Dom YELLING thruout this video?)
Dumpy Goodness Not yelling. It is called passion. Thanks so much!!!
@@GlobalDrumming I LOVE YOU MAN (and I didn't know you were such a killer drummer!).... but you really do come off as yelling in this video, just saying.
(I'm a professional public speaker, and I often have to talk to large groups, sans amplification, so I know the difference tween yelling and talking super-loud. It's not just VOLUME, as you know. It's tone, etc.)
(It's also more jarring b/c we're so used to your WARM AND RELAXED voice in interviews.)
JUST MY TWO CENTS, sir!
Dumpy Goodness My speaking range is like my playing range. To hold people in these videos it is a style I find works. Thanks
I’m a metal drummer and holy fuck lemme tell you, this dude is really good. Like even better than most actual metal drummers. Pure emotion and energy in those chops. No sampling or triggering required. not saying that triggers are bad, but homie here hits it just right to where it sounds cooler IMO.
Dom is a drummer's drummer, someone legends will go to for lessons. He doesn't really play any particular style of music, but his technique is so effortless and masterful it almost seems unreal at times, like a 3D model of something. He doesn't look for fame although he could be in any band in the entire world; he just loves to teach.
What a character this man is... like a grandmaster. There is a level when you don't need to compete with anyone I guess.
dude can't play clean double bass to save his life
@@jangobango2847very silly comment
"Balance is everything. Balance is life."
Paulo de Tarso Gregorio Pereira Excellent! Thanks so much!!!
I love listening to this guy speak. So much joy in his voice.
So grateful that you got Dom. He's awesome, a great teacher, and kind-hearted. Drumeo is amazing. It brings the drumming community together and makes this musician grateful to be a drummer.
You rock! 💙
Awesome lesson and inspiring energy! I'll begin to incorporate these daily. Love the variety of teachers at drumeo!
Great to see that huge smile and enthusiasm! A big encouragement to practice and have fun with it.
Willie Scott Thanks so much!!!
This video definitely deserves more views!
So much of selling and so much of teaching is the art of transferring enthusiasm to others. You are masterful at that as well as your drumming!
Keith Barton Thanks so much!!!
Literally watched the Eye of the Tiger video again last night! Thanks for coming back Dom 👍👍
Thanks for the exercises! Love how you're always full of energy! -Tim
Tim Janssen Thanks so much!!!
I met Dom back in 2008 - at the Australian Ultimate Drummers Weekend - happened to be staying at the same hotel as him and the Other drummers - I asked a bunch of them to 'show me one thing that's cool':
Tony Royster Jr showed me a stick trick, Benny Greb showed me a method for keeping time that even Today I can't do (Derek Roddy who was also at the Table struggled to do it too) and then I asked Dom:
He asked me to play a stroke on my pad, then he looked at my hands (and the calluses on them) then showed me a stroke taught to him by Buddy Rich, he showed me his hands (Smooth, with no calluses) - whereby you let the stick rebound all the way back to your forearm. I tried, couldn't do it. That's what he taught me - and that, more than anything else I learned that day has helped my Drumming - I still choke the stick and grip too hard, but I'm better than I was.
Tl;Dr - Dom took one look at my playing - saw my biggest weakness and showed me a simple exercise to get better. Dom is the man.
I remember that! Thanks! Good luck!
Sounds like a great teacher!
S Tra Ouch! I hope you are kidding! An open mind is what it takes. Go for it! Thanks
I am a relatively long term tight grip chokehold callous hand, run loving, drummer man. I love how I’ve really been trying to focus more on fixing my handwork recently, and now this video and fellow comments have come up on tonight’s main dish. Thank you ☺️
This came at the right time, I'm trying to build leg strength to play Bleed by Meshuggah. Excellent tutorial, can really feel your passion man and you offered some great tips
I'm a super-REBEL who has no patience whatsoever (and little free time) so I practice drums the EXACT OPPOSITE of how the Conventional Wisdom does.
EX:
I play SLOPPY AF, pushing myself (but not til i hurt myself)... and this is ENDLESS FUN...and each day I naturally get TIGHTER AND TIGHTER.
I end up at the same spot all the other drummers do, in the end (TIGHT!)... but I had TOTAL FUN the entire time getting there!
WHEEEEEE!!
@S Tra NOPE. I'll need a couple more months to get tight. (I only practice
a couple hours a day if I'm lucky. Too busy on other shit, b/c our society
is COMPLETELY PERFECTLY WRONG in every way.)
(I live in a country where they pay FIREMEN peanuts... and pay men who throw balls around TENS OF MILLIONS PER YEAR. THat's a society that's
legally insane!) (Convention SUCKS.)
CRAZY FACT:
i'm sloppy as hell (and I don't mind sloppy: Mahavishnu Orchestra were
sloppy at times which is WHY we love them more than Return TO
Forever or Weather Report).... yet EVERYONE (especially musicians
of all ages and instruments) keep telling me how great a drummer I am...
and when I point out how SLOPPY I was, everyone says they didn't notice!
WHAT???
ALL I CAN SURMISE.... is that, as-long-as-my-downbeat (or whatever y'all call it)-is-on-point, no one notices some of the beats TWEEN those hits are off. (People aint' great with attention to detail, sadly.) (I don't want to be INCORRECTLY loved as a drummer! See my gripe?)
As long as MOST of my notes are tight, no one seems to notice all the
beats or hits that are OFF. I'm not happy about that.
(ALso, it may be b/c I'm such a hyper-prog drummer, everyone ASSUMES
when i'm OFF, it's intentional, ha ha.) (Again, I practice Basic 4/4 every day bc I cannot do that kind of drumming! I can only do complicated!)
Good luck! But it’s not impossible. If you haven’t seen Troy Wright’s video on Bleed it’s a must see. He plays it then gives a very helpful lesson.
Its basically a flam-right left flam-right left
Great comments on posture. I always try to be aware of my form/posture
CrystalLake84 Thanks so much!!!
Wow, such a wonderful instructor and musician! Man, how awesome would it be to work with Dom! I love his passion and excitement! I finished the video ready to "go and have fun and go for it"!! Thank you for the supercharge Dom!
James OKeefe Thanks so much!!!
One of the greatest drum teacher one of kind ❤ rip Dom formularo
That last sequence 😱. Then he says have fun! It made me question if I know any drumming at all!
JWL Excellent! Thanks so much!!!
Yup ! felt the same...but very motivating at the same time.
I've watched UA-cam for a LONG time and you are one of the most amazing people I have ever seen. Thank You so much for putting your heart into this video!
Take Care,
Tom
I love Dom's attitude - always have , for 40 years! He's an asset to the drumming world. And he can play! Actually he's an asset to the human race. Really a good dude.
Jamie B Thanks so much!!!
Love you Dom, you're an awesome human being brother. I would really encourage any drummer to listen very closely to everything and anything this man has to say on drumming, even life.
Marcus Amyotte Thanks so much!!!
Dom is great, has a big smile on his face and likes for others to improve.
Albert Ramirez Always...Thanks so much!!!
My teacher in the late 80s was a student of Doms, Dean Sanderson. He published the flam and paradiddle double bass patterns in Modern Drummer back then. No one did stuff like that then except Dom and his students.
I've been looking for a drummer like you! Glad i've found you! I'll learn a lot from your lessons for sure! Keep rockin'!!!!!
Rogério Carvalho Thanks so much!!!
Fabulous , when I first started taking lessons I used to practice rudiments with my feet as well as hands paradiddles were perfect for that especially trying to work opposite so hands going lrll rlrr whist feet going rlrr lrll ...now I’m old and fucked up with arthritis but thanks for the memory and again great control
Just watching this has inspired me to setup my set and double bass pedals to start practicing again. Thanks for the great video Dom!
toydawg24 Thanks so much!!!
As always, another great video lesson! Really looking forward to working on this! Thanks!!
Harry Websters Thanks so much!!!
Dom’s style is so intriguing, fun to listen to, and he just makes drums seem very fun.
Brandon McLendon Thanks so much!!!
Dom Famularo No problem man
in 1985 I took a private lesson from Dom the day before a clinic. he still has the passion, the enthusiasm as he did back then. Awesome teacher and definitely THE AMBASSADOR ! why 156 thumbs down on this video is beyond me.
Rest in peace, master of drumming. We loved you!.
I was lucky enough to see Dom up close at a drum clinic years ago. The energy was awe inspiring. .really pushed me into serious double kick drum technique. Thanks Dom..you made an impression that made a real great impact on my skill level.
Terry F Thanks so much!!!
I love the enthusiasm and joy! Great information too!
Met Dom at a clinic 15 or so years ago. He is a wonderful player and teacher. Had a great chat with him afterward. His enthusiasm for drumming is infectious. Thanks for this great video, Dom!
Neil Mavor Thanks so much!!!
Wonderful energy and beautiful playing Dom!
Anthem Gun Aether Thanks so much!!!
I am trying to play SOAD - Toxicity right now and this helped me so much.
Dom is great, always pushing , but with a fun attitude.Posture! He’s right.I learned to play ‘cool jazz’ by leaning into the kit, now I see the chiropractor every month!
MacMic333 Thanks so much!!!
♥ Rest in Peace, Dom.
Beautiful set, I love the natural wood finish
ex tatic tactic tetric shoobeedoo no wa Thanks so much!!!
Awesome video, posture, breathing, synchronized rudiments, awesome. You make me want to woodshed this stuff. Great technique, great.
Hagop Nalbandian Thanks so much!!!
Dom you make it look so easy !! I’m inspired to start working on my feet 😊
Gene Gonzalez Thanks so much!!!
These videos are creating a Renaissance of Dom Famularo...drumming's true global ambassador :D
Dylan Weightman Thanks so much!!!
I remember your visit in Poland, Bydgoszcz, DrumCenter with Igor Falecki :), we met at local storeshop and ate a might kebab right there before show and lessons with you, i remember almost 10 years ago how excited we were with friend to chat with you about our passion and gratefull for all these pro tips :), the rest is side story, my younger brother went to music school and they are friends with Igor haha and that friend from Bydgoszcz has now finished studies at drums-jazz and is a great drummer indeed. And now as i watched this video all these memories came back, waiting till 3am for train, beacuse of so random prepare for that trip to hear that lesson :), 2 teens lost in city, stoned and full of happiness, thank you Dom :)!
Nikodem Piechotka Thanks so much!!!
feel the 'DOM....HE IS OUR DON!!!..all respect to the ambassador
Thanks so much! lol
Dom is such a positive force.
This man has such great energy!
It's funny upon finally getting a drumset in life once I was an adult and had the money to get one it felt like all those years tapping my feet to make beats really paid off lol Its too bad tapping on tables with my hands and fingers didn't transfer much into moving sticks around fast.
I saw Dom for the 1st time on a DVD sampler...he blew me away with his speed and control with double bass. Alot of Drummers on this sampler...he was the one that stood out the most along with Virgil Donati.
Rusty Blades Thanks so much!!!
@@GlobalDrumming No way......is that you Dom for real???!!!!!!!!!!!
Rusty Blades Absolutely! I read all these. Thanks for watching and supporting drumming! Stay well...
@@GlobalDrumming This is so cool!!!....you are a phenomenal talent sir. God bless you and greetings from Sydney, Australia. P.S. any plans for doing clinics in Australia?. If so...I'm there!!!.
Rusty Blades hopefully next year. Read DrumScene for info! Thanks
Thank You so much, Dom. It is all so interesting and impressing. Thank You for Your clear and understandable way of talking as well. I am sure, that all the foreigners in the world can follow, to what You are saying. Many greetings from Germany.
Michael Zimmer Thanks so much!!!
I’m trying to reteach some basics and this will work perfectly! Thanks!!!
Mike House Thanks so much!!!
I’ve got to see this whole lesson!!! I can’t lie, it seems to have been a while since I’ve seen lessons that looked fun!!!
Thanks!
never seen a tom set up like that, that's awesome
I need channels like this but for bass or saxophone or at least guitar.
there used to be guitareo.
Dom and Colin Bailey both used Stick Control for pedals. Amazing results.
God bless you Dom. You're a good man, Sir.
RIP, Dom. One of a kind. 🌷
Man, you're an inspiration
There will never be another Dom!
The first time I saw Mr Famularo was when My wife bought me tickets as a surprise to go see one of the first Buddy Rich Memorial concerts at Berkley in Boston in the very early 90’s and he was friggin awesome then, that was a long time ago and he still has it....thanks Dom!
G Smith Thanks so much!!!
DOM, SOS TODO LO QUE ESTÁ BIEN !!!
Deffinetly useful thanks drumeo
Posture is hella important. If you slack off while you are young, yer gonna be broken up and in pain when you get older. Practice with a focus on posture now! Like Dom says here, having proper posture will not only help your playing now but it will help keep you healthy for a long life of great drumming!
Crazy 8s Drums Thanks so much!!!
@@GlobalDrumming Thanks be to you Dom! This was an awesome lesson!
You sir, are amazing.
deathwithin Thanks so much!!!
Thanks Dom got to get my double bass better
Dom always having a jol. Love it.
Bee Stinger Thanks so much!!!
The snare/bass stuff is great. I mean so many think they need crazy kinds of gear and Dom shows that is fake news! Man what a fun lesson.
About a year ago I bought a DW 5000 DB pedal and decided to commit, it is really been a challenge getting my right brain to work but it is coming slowly. I just have to remember how long it took me when I was first learning, gotta have patience and determination, it will come eventually.
I love everything Don does even if he’s not playing a drum set his enthusiasm is contagious just such a positive dude!!!!could u imagine Don being ur father?with such an awe inspiring force of positivity guiding u to always be ur best strive for happiness and incouraging u to have fun.If all fathers were like him I’d have no body depressed or even upset about anything......sorry went off on a tangent But yeah he’s just the best!!!!
johny ubankta Thanks so much!!!
Love his enthusiasm!
Jusayin Thanks so much!!!
This is why his playing has been of such a high standard for decades understanding how rhythm from your body is translated to the drum kit
I think Rick Allen really mastered the use of his feet to be his hands. Just saw him live at Vegas and he’s just as amazing as he was thirty years ago
WWTormentor Yes, he is Excellent! Thanks
Dom Famularo that was not ment to take away anything from your talented playing. My comment was to agree with you that many times as drummers we forget that we have four limbs and to use them all until a tragedy hits us.
WWTormentor absolutely!!!! Keep going...
glad you make these videos
V!n Maietta [art/drums] Thanks so much!!!
Dom, assuming you haven't, you should check out the drummers from death metal bands, such as John Longstreth and George Kolias. Seeing as you said you like playing fast, they are the definition of speed. And not just speed but speed with varying tempos
Jason Lauritsen Yes, I know them both and spent much time with George over 20 years ago talking about these techniques. I teach many death metal drummers. I understand the music, but it was not my generation. I also worked with Gene Hoglan. Check out his dvd. He mentions me. Thanks so much!!!
@@GlobalDrumming hey dom..loved the vid. Will there be a chance for you to create a vid for death metal or extreme music drumming?
TheMorbidAsshole Absolutely! All in time! Thanks
@@GlobalDrumming hey thanks man! Never seen any non metal acts before that utilizes double bass like what you demonstrated, can you recommend any acts that caught tour attention ?
TheMorbidAsshole Check out Claus Hessler and Grant Collins. Thanks

whanowa Yes...not accidental! Thanks
@@GlobalDrumming You really _are_ the most interesting man in the world.
whanowa Thanks so much!!!
I remember seeing Dom many years ago at a clinic with Cobham and hearing double bass playing unlike anything I'd ever heard before. Today, I am almost his equal.
Jamie B Thanks so much!!!
What a great teacher !
osssshhh12 Thanks so much!!!
Dom Famularo no your welcome i loved the way you explained each different aspect of footwork, ive been a drummer since i was 7 and to see you still blasting beats makes me want to carry on !
This guy is pretty cool and has some great advice, for me studying Dave Lombardo, Paul Bostaph, Gene Hoaglan, Raymond Hererra and Tom Huntings’ drum styles pretty much taught me everything I’m capable of with Double Bass drumming also the Meshugga drummer and Vitek (R.I.P.) of Decapitated has/had incredibly inventive approach to DB drumming 🤘😝🤘
Excellent! Gene, Dave and Thomas Haake are friends of mine! Great drummers! Thanks!
Great video Dom. Yes, posture is very important. Only in rare cases like Steve Gadd, or Buddy Rich, does a drummer excel without it. Stick control = foot control! 👍😎
Mark Vezina Thanks so much!!!
I like this guy. He talks very passionately about drums. If he is teaching someone that student is the luckiest student in the whole wide world.
melvin raju Thanks so much!!!
WTF this dude is insane, cheers from PARAGUAY...
Alvaro Narvaez Thanks so much!!!
Good thoughts, good rudiments :P, i didn't touch a drum-set for 2 years, inspires me to practice again.
All top drummers have their shtick, and good that we are in an era where we can share so much, otherwise we have to listen to recordings etc.. over and over. Listened a lot to Dean Castronovo and Mike Terrana.
davin2002 They are great drummers....! Thanks
One thing I find interesting regarding foot technique is the different approach to footwear or lack of. I feel like most of the traditional cats use shoes. Idk I've always felt more comfortable in socks lol, like Samus66. I guess it's a balance of the feel of barefoot with some resistance from the sock material. Shoes have always been too bulky for me and changed the feel I liked although you can get some added inertia and momentum, I feel like that's why a lot of pros use them. I've never tried those minimalist drum/running shoes though, I know Navene K uses a brand. Lyle Cooper is a great example of a guy who plays barefoot and absolutely slays at it!
Definitely good stuff. I wish I learned that speed is not everything when I began playing drums. Stick control should equate to foot control. If you can't play it slow correctly, then you can't play it fast correctly. Thanks!
You are the man
I love this guy!
Minecraft Villa Thanks so much!!!
you renind me lot of louis bellson same kinda sound and feel.
i know you're probably much younger and not his generation, but you're both technique driven and passionate when it comes to playing double bassdrums.
i learned a lot from louis bellson, he was a true master.
you can learn a lot from todays drummers, but sooner or later you'll go back to basics and will find that the old school method of drumming really works best.
andrew bintang Nice. Louie was a friend and 25 years older than me. His passion was a great influence. Thanks so much!!!
@@GlobalDrumming louis bellson was an amazing jazz drummer and an influence on lots of double bass drummers.
i think rufus speedy jones and sonny payne also played double bassdrums very early in their career.
i remember seeing old footage of that.
i think that the first rock drummer ever to play with double bassdrums was radja dalimonthee from the pacifics (1963).
but he was also a skilled jazz drummer that did drum clinics for rogers.
i'm glad that louis bellsons spirit lives on in your style of playing.
i used to carry a sony handycam with me and recorded lots of drummers that i met + saw live, including louis bellson.
i should really start do transfer those old tapes to digital files.
maybe if the tapes still play you can use them for educational purposes in your channel.
or just watch & enjoy taking a trip down memory lane of course :)
andrew bintang Excellent! Transfer the footage and we will go something with it. Email me at global2dom@gmail.com. Send it there. Thanks
RIP Mr. Famalaro. You will be missed. 🙏😢
Ive been playing drums since i was 4 yrs old im 40 now i started playing double bass when i was 10, heels up for me was very uncomfortable so i practiced heels down and it took me months to get it and ive been playing double bass heels down since then. It feels better for me and i dont get tired as fast as heels up
Jorge Rodriguez Excellent! Thanks
Legend!
Excellent tips!
Amaurí Cabral Thanks so much!!!
Throw a muffle on that snare, I seen Dom before at drum festival, he's awesome person
2:22. Excellent tip! Well said!
And then he busted out blast beats. That's super cool. Love Dom!
Devan Douwes Thanks so much!!!
@@GlobalDrumming thank you for the reply, good sir! You're a huge inspiration, both as a drummer and as a person. Would love to see you discuss limb independence in terms of playing with both ride cymbals. It's always been something that's caught my attention.
