Great information. I'm still trying to get my heel, toe down fully. This always comes in handy. Make sure you get on the list everyone. Gabe is an amazing teacher. You can not go wrong. This is my second year in, and I love it. Can not wait to see you play in KC. Hope I can get front row.

Not to correct the goat, but you did explain ankle technique a little wrong. Check out Marthyn for some insane double bass explanations, but to do the ankle technique away from the kit correctly, you do NOT lift your heel up then tap your toe. This activates the shin muscle in the front of your leg. And its why doing this away from the kit for an extended period if time will start feel like burning on your shin. The movement is qctually like lifting the heel up, then placing it back down. The beat on your kick drum will come from your heel going up instead of when it hits the ground. This action contracts you calf muscle instead of your shin muscle, and the quick contraction then release is what forms the basis of the technique. Only practice ankle technique away from the kit WITHOUT a reference to a beat, it can confuse you when you get to the kit and the beat happens at a different part of the movement than when it did away from the kit. This part of the explanation is what helped me actually learn the ankle technique, for a while I was stuck only stomping or moving my ankle from the shin contraction.

Great video! The up close camera angle of the movement really helps.

I just got my first drum kit, V drums. and I've been watching your "training" videos I transcribe your drum notes and take them to practice with. Last night I was using your "3 best beginner exercises" video. Last night I felt like I was smashing or mashing the kick pedal and thought I'd watch a kick pedal technique today, and boom you were the first to pop up. But yes, someone is using your techniques, please know that. Peace...

You have no idea how we always await your posts mr Gabe… such an inspiration❤️

[elkinranjith]

Can you do one of those breakdown videos of how Gabe Helguera is such a genius and an amazing drummer?

[millenwagon]

Glad it’s not just me that finds slower tempos much more fatiguing. If I get warmed up and go for say 190bpm I find it comfortable and can do it for ages. If I drop to say 150-160 it’s so brutally hard!

[RCSmiths]

Utilizing the Kick drum at different speeds can make it settle for so many genres alone! Cheers man!

[ezekem]

I be using my legs. Gotta get better now! Thanks! 🙏🏼

[TargetHHH]

I like it, I started doing something similar with my electric kit at home, since it had a single kick pedal and my acoustic kit thats in the bands space has my double pedal (joys of living in an apartment) good stuff Gabe, tell the guys in Iprevail to book a show near Dayton Ohio so I can finally see you live lol

Bro has seen James Payne videos...
Seriously the main missing element is the startg motion, since ankle muscles are weaker, the goal is not to be pushing the pedalboard with full power each time, but just giving a little energy boost at each movement
What you actually want to do is a full leg motion for the first stroke and then using the ankle to keep the movement going
doing the movement off the pedal, and without spring help to dévelop the motion

And it's totally possible to use ankle technique for double kick

[fatcatt]

this vid is a key of success, btw man, what kind of nike shoes on you?)

[andrezaycev]

Thanks man for video. What eliminator pedal settings have you tried before? how did you come to the current(cams, spring footboard, chain position)?
