remember that you don't need to push your foot super far up the pedal! more in the middle of the kick helps with accuracy and rebound force (i.e. speed)

@TheAndrewc5120 2 года назад

i've been drumming since i was 9, moderate training. no joke getting quicker at the kick just took listening to bands or drummers that utilized fast single pedal kicks and wanting to do it too. as long as you're not physically incapacitated, you should be able to train up to speed with repetition. you don't even need to be accurate! just keep going and trying to match your speed with what you hear in your head and you'll be hitting those louis cole kick fills in no time.

@Buterytissuflap 2 года назад

As a mainly metal drummer who plays plenty of really fast double bass, all I wanted to do was play to my favorite music, so I did. I if course sucked at first but just over repetition and continually trying faster and faster parts, eventually I was just able to do it. Maybe not a great way to teach but it worked great for me!

Also strengthen your calf and thigh muscles. Best way to do that without any equipment is whenever you listen to music, tap/stomp your kick drum foot to the time or double the time of the song if its slow. You’ll feel your calf start to ache and cramp; just keep going. It’s worth it

I was struggling so hard with my foot speed - just butchering the “slide” technique because I heard that’s how you did it, until a great teacher I had named Ray Garraway (rip) looked at my sad foot slide, made the stank face, and said, “just play it fast”. I dropped any notion of technique and just worked on doubles at various speeds to a metronome and now I’ve got decent speed and clarity.

@ZackGrooves 2 года назад

Sounds like you had a great teacher! I’m sorry for your loss. That’s similar to how I learned as well. Took me years to finally realize “oh, there are actual techniques involved with the foot?” Haha

@pixelpastiche 2 года назад

3:52 What this man is trying to say I think: "If you have a solid foundation that can be played automatically at high speed, the kick in this case, you can afford to experiment with the hands more freely since even minor variations in the hands will recontextualize the overall feel of the beat. 'If you have reliable feet that will keep running no matter what, you can afford to swing your arms as wildily as you want without fear of falling over.' "

@leonmrrs 2 года назад

Nah he's meaning to stop overthinking the kick. When you're not thinking about it, the leg's way more relaxed for some reason

@pixelpastiche 2 года назад

@@leonmrrs So if the kick has been practiced and can already be played at a high speed you don't need to think about it right? And to not think means the kick is automatic. So if you have a kick that can automatically be played at high speed not only will the leg be relaxed but you can afford to experiment with the hands more freely. If he hadn't done that exercise over and over again until it was so well practiced that he didn't have to think about it, then he would have to think about the kick no matter what. Otherwise the groove would fall apart once he stopped focusing on it. The big realization is that the result of practice allowed the leg to go on autopilot in the first place, and the freedom that comes from realizing there is no longer a need to think about it and those thoughts can be focused on the hands.
