Always important to say that everyone trying this should adjust their pedal/spring settings. Otherwise you will build up muscle memory much slower.

Awesome tip! My first drum teacher would say "Slow practice = fast progress"

[KonamisQuest]

Finally someone who knows how to explain things. Thank you! Crawl, walk, then run with patience! <3

[JanFee]

Very good advice about moving the HEEL and not the LEG, thanks, it really helps !

[shimizu]

Dude, your channel helped me progress a lot. Your tutorials are short and spot on.

[friendofp.]

By far the best teacher on YouTube. Thanks

[bradbeaston]

Man, thank you so much! I was struggling with this and you just explained lifting the heel. What a game changer for me

[ThomasLambeir]

Just a small tip but maybe you shouldn't use the term "swivel" in this context because "swivel technique" is also used to describe the motion of moving your heel from left to right while playing ankle motion. I know you mean the swiveling of the beater but it could cause confusion. Love your double bass instructional videos!

Even in 2024 this helps. even though i have drummed for 7 years now, i recently started learning to play metal and the double pedals were a bit of a problem for me, but this video helped a ton and im getting so much better!

Breaking old habits is tough. Been playing heep up all my life.

[thomascooper]

Such great instructions for dealing with the foot work!

[TerryFXX]

Love my Sakae HH ... also their BD pedals... also very nice. I'm swivel guy too... just seems to be the fastest and most comfortable. Good lesson

[arcy]

This is the one video that made it make sense

[AEonAEtherium]

I’ve been swiveling for high-tempo double bass without even realizing it apparently. Something about working the calf muscles into the mix feels very natural at extreme speeds.

[rinoytony]

Hi, can u please explain how to start to practice double bass drumming and how the leg should be at slower tempos

[roxnroll]

Great video! Sounds a little soft, though? How do you go that fast with more power?

[periphery]

Thanks bro! Is this 50 practice sessions a week right?

[saulvera]

These exercises are helping me a lot, thanks!. The only problnowi havent been able to solve are those 2nd/3rd note after the initial hit, after those, I can bounce the beater much better. Any tips for that?

[lukistevefanclub]

Thank you so much.I've watched a lot of video's but only this one helped me.I can finally feel that im doing something with my calf muscle.

[Deadlegs]

I can try for ages and fail. Blessed are you who succeed. I do not know how to do.
