Here's how to set your pedal spring tension to maximize double bass speed ua-cam.com/users/shortsAbr1OzI_Ovk
Here's a tip guys. If you're on desktop/laptop version of UA-cam. Put this video into a playlist and play it from there. You can then go into the custom speed settings to adjust the speed of the video by 0.5 increments. So you can adjust all the exercises slower/faster to match your own growth.
As I have cranked up the amount of content that I'm doing consistently. It would really help me if I can do shorter videos and not record so many different tempos per exercise, so that I can get on to the next video. There's so much left to share and create. I wish you all the best consistency, patience, and practice on your double bass journey. Don't stop dreaming, and don't stop drumming!
Thanks for the suggestion and great channel! A question, do you have the exercise PDF available to download?
@@DigitalDamnation It will be out soon. Left it out due to time constraints. Will let you know when it's out!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ Any chance to add a link of the PDF sheet? Thank you!
@@DigitalDamnation It's up! Links in video description and cards or also here www.artofdrumminghq.com/product-page/3-key-exercises-for-double-bass-drumming-pdf
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ thank you. I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work on your channel. It's a real inspiration for my personal drumming progress.
Awesome that's exactly what I need ! Thanks a lot. Looking forward to the next ones !
Glad to hear that! Haha me too, I'm having lots of fun thinking about and producing this double bass series. Thank you!!
thank you for all of the work you've put into this channel over the past decade, all your viewers appreciate everything you do. You're an amazing teacher and definitely with your skills and knowledge, you can definitely make it big
Never expected anybody to thank me for a decade of work. But I just want to make everyone happier with their drumming and lives. If I make it big in the process, it's just so that I can reach more people like you who would benefit. I absolutely appreciate you. You're an OG 😊
Thanks for your guidance this is cool
You're welcome! Hope the other double bass videos help as well!
Nice! Gret advices and excersises! Definitely will include them in my practice!
Thank you again dude, I saw your story on my other video. Will read it proper tomorrow morning. Thank you for sharing that!!
Thank you man, that's really helpful 👊🏻👊🏻
My pleasure, excited to see where this will take your double bass skills!
Great to see you're still posting regularly!
Hehe I'm here to stay for a longer while :)
Great!
Hope it helps!
damn bro, you did it again. concise explanation on what each exercise is supposed to do for you! i am guilty of stopping my double bass exercises because I decided to focus more on other concepts.
but seems like I should get back on track on this double bass journey again!!
Hey its always whatever you want to work on. And everything else is just a distraction. Lol so you're doing it right. Appreciate your compliments though. Hopefully this really works on others like it worked for me. Otherwise I'm a shitty ass teacher hahaha.
Excellent exercises to practice for DB!
Hope they help Guy!
Thank you so much for your videos! I never know what to practice, or how to practice.
Ahh, for that, try asking yourself who would you like to be able to play like. Or what songs would make you really happy to be able to play so comfortably. Then all the techniques/grooves/fills/coordination/patterns required to do the above is what you want to aim to practice! Thank you for you lovely kind words!
Thank you very much. Its helpful video
MY pleasure, thanks for showing your appreciation!
Thank you for this finally I was able to watch it today going to try this !!_😇😇
Enjoy your new skill building Prasan!!
Woah! I really like the first exercise. for some reason i tend to play better on a heavier pedal which i use in school compared to the lighter and faster pedal i use at home. Im pretty sure these exercises will help me in the future
Me too. I'm more used to heavier pedals, but I also play a lighter pedal at home. You can crank up the spring tension to compensate on your lighter pedal and it usually helps :D Thanks man hope your double bass gets better!!!
Loving these videos!
Thank you :D
@ArtOfDrummingHQ I wish I could share my practice videos with you to get some coaching feedback on if I'm correctly utilizing these new methods. I've played mixed heel down/up but never really focused on my bass drum technique so this is all fairly new as far as focusing on correct technique. I've been playing since I was 10 and I'll be 42 on the 18th. So this is really a test of determination as well as discipline in focusing.
Join my discord. Can share your videos and any questions and I'll give feedback. discord.gg/gU9xymP4h4
Nice lesson of foot control 。really help me a lot
Happy to help!
Hi, I've been doing this exercice consistently for a week now and I can already feel the progress, so thanks a lot ! Also now wearing ankle weights as advised by Gene Hoglan and heck yeah this also brings a complete difference when you remove them you are flying on the pedals !
That's fast progress! Glad it works for you and I've tried ankle weights before too :) the extra load could give your muscles more push and growth. Thanks for sharing your experience with these exercises!!
Very clear and good explanations here - thanks for your passion and hard work. I love it: "Don't stop dreaming and don't stop drumming". It's all said! 😜 All the best and greetings from Germany! Jochen
Thank you very much, all the best to your journey 💯💪
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ The same to you - keep it up! 💪🏼🥁
To increase my foot speed and develop foot muscles I used to do tabada which is very effective exercise it's not only develop muscles and increase seed but it also helps in gaining control to your lower limbs
Oh yes tabata workouts are quite nice, good to incorporate for anyone! If you notice exercise 2 is a interval based workout with a short burst, then a longer burst, for 8 cycles. Great suggestion man cheers!
👍🔥
Man just practicing this on the floor with air drums was TOUGH, but was already in one attempt helping my brain strain and focus to get the information between the various limbs! Thanks as always for the great and insightful content. I'll be coming back to this lesson during the week :D
*edit* I commented before I was thinking about a new video request for leg position and movement and you tagged that at the end. THANK YOU :D I'm excited to see what you've produced!
Oh floor practice is awesome and requires quite a lot of reconfiguration as there aren't springs and pedals to work with. Anyway I'm kinda tired this week from a heck of a busy week last week. Will need a break before I push those longer double bass videos out.
Thank you as always for being so kind and writing awesome comments 😁. You have a fantastic week!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ indeed, while I understand it is still helpful, it's a different concept to go from floor practice to kit, but I've got to do something to keep the practice going XD
You need not apologize for anything as the fact that you reply at all is lovely! Thanks for the kind words and I look forward to you gathering the energy to move into the creation of these forthcoming videos!
thank you bro
You're most welcome John!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ after few days im doing these exercises and i already feel much comforteble with double pedal, please continue your youtube. ur great
Wow glad you hear that :D if you need some more tips, I'm releasing some more double bass tips one by one. Here's one highlighting what tempos you can aim for with your thighs/calves ua-cam.com/users/shortsKf72e5PvZnU?feature=share Appreciate you telling me your progress!
Great exercises definitely helped much appreciation. Can you demonstrate any hand soloing over the double bass thanks my best to you.
Hand soloing? Could you elaborate? If it's to play different patterns on my hands while keeping 16th note base I don't practice that so can't do much of it. Thanks 👍
Hey ! Art of drumming thanks for responding yes it is one of my passions to solo over 16 notes on the bass drums some of my favorite drummers Tommy Aldridge and Mickey d and Joe Franco have that style if you're not familiar with it if you go on my page there's a couple of videos up where I do some drum solos and you can check it out it has a lot to do with playing very soft and accenting making it feel like a groove. By using Dynamics as I got started I played very slow and very low volume and it just got easier and better over time as long as you don't blast full out you can get into a flow it became possible for me to solo over the bass drums over time I started it when I was 20 years old. I'm 63 still love it. Well thanks again love all your videos my best to you.if you want subscribe to my page if you haven't I subscribed to your page a while back great exercises happy drumming 😆
Nice info bro. Do you use lose, medium or tight spring tension?
ua-cam.com/users/shortsAbr1OzI_Ovk?feature=share Here's a quick explanation of my spring tension, hope it helps you decide!
incredible!!! What about the technique should they be developed??
Oh yes, look for the next video to explain that!
Hello! Thanks for the video, very helpful.
How much time should be devoted to each exercise?
Try each one for a whole cycle as per the video's demonstrations. Then try another, and then another. I recommend 3-5 of those cycles. But It really depends on where you're at skill/fitness/age wise. Maybe your muscles can take more punishment, maybe they can't. So you got to try let's say 3 cycles, then see how it goes the next day, and add or subtract from it to find a good balance of growth/fatigue/rest. I do at least 3 cycles 4 times a week now. But I could have tried as many as 10 some months ago. Sometimes I overdid it and got leg injuries so I immediately stopped and rest. Sometimes I felt like I could push myself more. Hope this helps!
Wow. Thanks for the detailed explanation! You great drummer and teacher!
Thank You so much for your exzellent Videos. Maybe you'll male a video about the Ankle Motion? I'm struggeling since 2 Years, I have patience but I ca only start with this damn "nervous twitching motion". After 5-10 Minutes I have an big Beaterswing, but I can't control the motion. It must be around 210 BPM, but it's useless without controlling it and slow down the Tempo. Thanx for your Support ❗👌🏻
part of it lies in the strength and control of your muscle groups to twitch at the specific slower tempos. Have you tried my latest double bass routine yet? ua-cam.com/video/SM-Wc6AOki0/v-deo.htmlsi=mLpAHkHoY1HJqLrk
It incorporates exercises at the beginning to strengthen all your necessary muscle groups! To play slower comfortably actually requires a bit of both your thigh/hip and ankles, different combinations. So ensuring all your muscle groups are developed will help you play well at a larger tempo range.
The other parts are whether your pedals are adjusted to suit you. And this is something I wanna look at making more detailed content around in 2024. But I have some shorts about foot position, spring tension that you should check out too! ua-cam.com/video/OYcnJWhlguk/v-deo.htmlsi=P0R9H-ph1v79BskC
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE! I will start the Double Bass Routine in the evening and will give you Feedback in 14 Days. Have a nie Day and again: THANX A LOT ❗
How long should each exercise be done for?
Should they be done in order or constantly cycled through?
Great video as always nonetheless! 👍
They should be done in order, Exercise 1 - 2 - 3, just once through. Then that's where you can do another 1 to 5 sets. It depends on how much time you have,. If I don't have much time that day because of unforeseen circumstances, I at least can do away with 1 set. If I have my usual longer practice sessions, I go for 5 sets then go on to work on some other double bass vocabulary stuff.
You also have to take into consideration your muscle strength and fatigue levels. I recommend 3 times at least a week because you don't want to push too hard. Muscles once properly worked out must have 24 hours to recover and grow. If not they cannot grow under constant fatigue and no rest. But some people are fitter than others and their muscles need to take more of a beating, some start out weaker and they can't take too much beating before serious fatigue sets in. So it's always a trial and error thing at the beginning, try 5 sets, see how that feels the next day. Keep experimenting with duration and no. of days per week until you understand your optimal condition and then roll with that. It's a very detailed topic hence I will put everything into the next couple of double bass videos. Hope this helps for now!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ thanks for a very detailed response! 😃 You are definitely the most underrated content creator on this platform ❤️
Thanks for an actual video them shorts might be good for your channel but suck if ur trying to learn drums, u can't save them to a play list or slow them down etc unless I am being an idiot lol
U can slow them down if you open them from a desktop/laptop!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ 🤯 Well keep them shorts coming 😂
@@JbskMsj I'm a do both, whatever helps you 😁👍
What I would also like to add is, dont collect too many opinions while trying one technique or new approach of practise!
I had posted some ankle motion progress videos on Reddit, and everyone gave a different advice. It was very frustrating and upsetting, because from each clip of progress there were new opinions what I should do or change or adjust... like throne height, spring tension, footboard placement! Its cool that people cared, but then I found out that most people dont even know the difference between full leg and ankle motion drumming, like zero idea about the different principles and methods. Most people on these boards and forums are old heads and are just used to flat foot stomping till 180bpm I guess...
Well after that, I just got really mad and deleted all my posts, because these different opinions are POLLUTING the progress and urged me to change my settings every 2 weeks... which is very bad obviously, when I was just about to make progress and advance in my playing!!
So in short: Stick to one method, one style, one setup YOU like and feel comfortable with and practise that for 4-6months!
A lot of people on these online forums dont know jack and you could not even check on their skills, if they are qualified to give any expertise advice!!! With UA-camrs you atleast see what they can do.
YEAH totally right. Taking advice from forums and very big communities usually is just to seek a wider range of opinions. But for people who want some mid-stage success, they gotta do what you did, delete all the noise, get a kick ass coach if possible, or just hunker down on refining what works for you. I'm also still in that process right now. Still discovering easier ways to play the double bass and ankle technique. Might share some of these findings, but I've been so busy with my teaching work.
Love the share by the way!!!
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ
Yes exactly! Thank you for acknowledging!
I am also grateful for your work on this channel and am looking forward to your new findings and theories about this commonly known frustration in the drumming world.
2 months ago??? You deleted some videos? Why?
don't really understand your question, tell me more
@@ArtOfDrummingHQ I'm saying why is there a video that you uploaded 2 months ago on top of the videos you have uploaded. I'm pretty much sure there were alot of shorts uploaded not much days ago.
And they are back. 🤣😅 I don't understand how? But they are back now. Did you "private" them for a while and set back to public later.
Ohhh the youtube algorithm changed. They're testing the link between long form and shorts content and how to recommend it to viewers. So I guess what you saw was them rearranging things. I didn't make any videos private, cheers Priyanshu!
