The reason I love Jeff's videos is not just his technique or performance(which are all good), but also beacuse he has this slow, clear, solid, foreigner ear friendly tone, makes everything easier for me. Thanks man.

You should’ve brought up heel toe for doubles too. Thats my preferred way to do them. I really appreciate that you talk about staying relaxed when playing. Thats always an important part to any technique

[morgandavidpatton]

Finally! Thank you so much for breaking these techniques down so much. I'm a new drummer and I have not been able to find a detailed explanation of what I'm supposed to do with my kick technique. Super appreciate you!

Hello Mr Randall… I’ve listened to soooo many drum teachers on the web, and now I finally discovered you !!! You are the best. Thank you !!!

Congratulate yourself, you improved my drumming skills up 2 levels with 2 vids (this one and the one on whipping stick technique) in 2 days lol. Great explanations and examples. I wont send you money coz I live in a kind of economically weak country (Czech Rep.) but honestly thank you so much man.

No one teaches foot technique, and it's essential. Thanks!

[johnrobinson]

I used heel down for years too. Hec. I didn't even know that heel up was a thing. I just thought that I had a weak foot. Then I started going to jam sessions and I noticed that a lot of people were getting power with their heel up. Now I'm getting the solid bass drum sound. But I'm still trying to master the slide technique so thanks so much for this awesome lesson Jeff!🥁❤

I definitely needed to see this video because I’m working on my double kicks being more in sync and not throwing off my tempo

[DrumGalaxy]

Good stuff Jeff. I've been using heel toe technique for years for my doubles but just recently have been working on the slide technique. After a few weeks it has come together quite well. The "slide" is a slight misnomer to me because I always thought the foot slid on and up the pedal board. What I finally realized is that when the doubles really get up to speed the foot is in the air for a millisecond and moves forward to catch the pedal board on its way back up after the first stroke and then the second stroke is made. Kind of an "a-ha!" moment. It takes a little getting used to and you have to really dial in your pedal settings to maximize speed and control. Spring tension not too tight is key.

Been waiting long for you to make a video on this jeff. Thanks men.

I am a self taught drummer, since i watched your video my foot YOU SIR!!

[kellymonaghan]

This is exactly what I've needed, and it is already helping me more accurately emulate the sound and feel in your last few rock groove and fill videos. A thousand times: thank you.

i am on a four week journey. talk faster. i told the band i was a drummer.

[erikdera]

I've been watching your video's for a while now and i really like your " simple" approach. It helps me stay relaxed and inspires me to perfection my grooves. Keep makin' them video's man! 🙌🤘🏻

[williamhall]

I tried the slide technique and was so surprised how easy it is. Thank you so much, I was struggling with this a lot. It even kinda discouraged me from playing since I couldn’t reach those faster paces. So thank you

[Maxoratus]

This is THE tutorial I was looking for. Thanks ! Very clear explanations which will help me improve.

[misshighfidelity]

Wowww this is fantastic! I have been learning drums for 8 months now and they didn't explain me any of that. I really appreciate all the accuracy of the explanation: as a request I think it would be nice to see the calfs to understand exactly all the movements and muscles used. Gem of wisdom. Thank you very much!!

[oguzhancebe]

You helped me fix my years long wrong technique!

[kenosalmon]

The foot technique is classic, very helpful 👌

[Rifle]

Best drumming video tips on YouTube.... once again.... thanks again Jeff! 👍
