Get Incredible Kick Drum Precision with This Lesson! 

PLEASE EVERY DRUMMER HERE!..........Due to the laziness of the past few years, I didn't take this exercise too seriously. After more than 20 years of playing, my bass drum hits are slightly ahead on every beat, just milliseconds, but enough to weaken the groove: the worst part is something so internalized that is impossible to me be aware of. If you want master the drums and basically turn you into a groove machine, don't skip THIS kind of exercises AND record yourself and try to hear and look the waveforms in your DAW. Suerte a todos.

Accumulating simple things around you, eventually will make you a GIANT! Thanks CJ, u’re AMAZING 🔥🙏🏼🔥

You’re such a great teacher, CJ! 😃 thanks for this!

I've used this check pattern (minus the all downbeats and all upbeats) to work on snare accents, very well done...👏

Watched a couple of lessons and knew CJ was the tutor for me, all drumming and no long winded speeches .,, rock on..

Awesome lesson, thanks for this. I've downloaded the pdf and can't wait to try this. Also subscribed.

After this exercise my ankle, foot, calf & the inside of my thigh is sore & a bit tight but just like in any sport if it’s not burning it’s not working.

ชอบมาก ๆ

you are fantastic 😅 and creative .. can you post pdf ?

Your snare sounds amazing! How do I get mine to sound like that?!

That is good ,thank you.But also, wouldn't you mind to have told about the tension of the pedal's spring,why playing heel up,how to play fast double-notes,hownto play softer etc Men du har abetat mycket, och alla dina filmer är mycket intressanta. Man får mycket bra information hela tiden! Kiitoksia paljon!Tack så mycket!

Brilliant lesson. So simple yet effective. Will use some of these in my daily practice. What model is your snare drum. It's so crisp!

Thanks for the videos!! I've been playing for like 20 years and only recently i decided to get a little more serious about drumming. I'm realizing how poor a lot of my skills are. These exercises really help out in great ways! Is it normal to play with your heel up like you do? i noticed your heel is up for every strike and it never comes down to rest. is this something that you do naturally? i kinda get fatigued in my leg and i have to put my heel down a lot and then my foot starts getting really clumsy lol

Oh my I suck at this. Ok dropping everyone else and just doing this for the next 14 years. Thx for the vid. Fml

Cool! Cant wait to start practicing! Is the Heel Up technic better than Heel Down? I have a long legs and Heel Down suitable for me better, but i cant increase a kick speed. Maybe i should try Heel Up?

Вирджил Донати лучьший!

I haven't even started and I can already feel my leg get tense as hell😅

Perfect snare sound! I'm watching just to hear the it. What kind of snare is it? Grestch? Steel? Brass? I see the dimensions. Can't tell the Brand or shell material.

Question: how do you keep your foot in the same place on the kick pedal the entire time? Do you have on special shoes that allow your shoes to stick better to the pedal? I ask because I've always had the problem of my foot moving all over the place on the pedal, and especially when playing doubles.

Thank you for the lesson!!! Awesome! Quick question. Approximately how fast can a person play quick doubles on the bass drum using the ankle technique (the technique you used in the video)? I understand everyone’s different, but approximately, how fast can a drummer play quick doubles using simply the ankle technique?

What's your recommendation if I'm struggling with the sets of 3 and 4 sixteenth notes?

i've been trying so long for clean triplets but I cannot play them. What's your technique?

First Viewer ! 😂

I am not striving to discount your video, definitely understand the time it takes to record and edit. Nonetheless, alas, all of the exercises paraded in your video are all in fact from Benny Greb’s book “The Language of Drumming Book”, verbatim from (p. 28) and the book is accompanied with audio and video demonstrations.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤

well apparently i can't hit snare and kick at same time lol

bro i can’t even get the beat around 205 right

I thought we are told by pros not to bury the beater.

Best kick pedal practice routine ever!

I've been a drummer for 10 years. I've been a shit drummer for 9 of them. I never warmed up, I never practised anything, I just played to songs I liked and over time got good at those songs and those patterns and those fills, and then whenever I played anything else, I just adapted the same stuff from my comfort songs and forced them over top of whatever I was now playing. Then I got invited to a regular jam session and there weren't any other serious drummers and everyone was so impressed at how "dynamic" I was and how I had such cool interpretations of different songs but I was a fraud. I was playing in my comfort zone and it was a party trick for people who didn't know any better. I've spent the past year learning rudiments, warming up before sessions, forcing myself out of that comfort zone. I've got a shortlist of small exercises I've found from different youtube videos for rudiments, warmups, etc and this just made the list. I'll be adding the 1ish minutes from the end (the 2 measures bit) but I'll be doing it on each foot to help with the limb independence too. For those of you out there who have been "karaoke drumming" for a long time and haven't broken into that next level of drumming where you practise stick control and rudiments and speed and agility and limb independence and different fills and syncopation and whipping and all that.. please do it. Get a practise pad and sit it next to your computer desk or couch or whatever and just practise when you get spare time. When you sit at the kit to play, force yourself to warm up for 10-15 minutes first. Watch videos on kit configurations and setup tips etc. You won't regret it. EDITED TO ADD: First step is to practise single stroke rolls for 1 minute a day. Just 1 minute. Soon, you'll realise that minute is over too fast so you'll go for 2 minutes. Then when you are comfortable at like 160bpm, learn doubles the same way. Then paradiddles, then flam taps, then 5 and 6 stroke rolls, etc. When you realise that you CAN do it, you actually DO do it. Then make a 10 minute warmup routine that incorporates the hands, the feet and the brain. 15 seconds of each rudiment you want, starting with doubles. Then at the end of your rudiments, smash out a 75% max of singles (I never start with singles, because a comfortable smooth blast of singles at the end just feels so satisfying). Add feet (as I commented earlier, this video is brilliant if you do it for each foot) and then double kick if you want. Aim of the 10 minutes is to have you warm and ready to go in the moment. The true aim of the 10 minutes is to train your mind to enjoy practise and you'll find yourself practising more often and for longer. When you feel like you've mastered this process......... do the rudiment routine with double kicks.
