The technique is: just do it but faster

The Mars Volta definitely had some of the most amazing drummers, absolute beasts; every single one of them.

@alvinamalia6775 5 лет назад

In Kenya 🇰🇪 thats the typa beat that's played by the isukuti drummers called the Isukha Community in Western side of Kenya and I'm like woah This the kind of beat that my grand pa Adriano used to play way first on his drums though played strictly by hands no base drums that came later so this feels so right at home with me so proud of my ancient old typa beat that's trending in the USA 🇺🇸 now in this age. You can search "isukuti western Kenya 🇰🇪 " here on RU-vid just to confirm. Enjoy

@thenecropolis_ov_former_lo3396 5 лет назад

Not really

@AndrewBeveridge461 4 года назад

I didn't hear anything in there that would require a double pedal. For me it starts to get difficult if I have to sustain more than about 4 or 5 quick hits in a row on a single, but anything short of that should be AOK with a single. Look up Jerry Was a Racecar Driver by Primus. Learn to play all those quick double and triple hits with a single pedal and you'll be well on your way.

@jerryrose9472 4 года назад

"That technique is called muscling it out". Thomas Pridgen just told you to get off RU-vid, stop being a baby, and work your legs until it sticks.

@Jetty-xd9yc 5 лет назад

Kids, take notice. His batter side head is tuned tighter than most so the rebound of his beater has more rebound than if he tuned it finger tight. Also a 14 or 16 in deep kick will allow this technique easilier then a deeper kick drum.

@HiVoltish 5 лет назад

Also, leave the big, fat, fuzzy beater at home.

@thatguysson8241 5 лет назад

Screw that, finger tight just remember to move the knee.

@skroy8671 5 лет назад

Now this is a drummer that makes sense! Throw away all the tricks and the double bass drums and get down to basics with some real talent and effort! There are very few who will put this effort into playing their instrument and getting the most out of it they can! Great job, Thomas! This came up as a recommended video for me and I'm sooooooo glad it did! :)

@BilliamBillion 5 лет назад

This is how I do Bonham triplets. It's balancing your foot feel with your thigh power. I usually tighten my pedal as much as it goes so the up bounce helps push my foot back up so you can bounce with almost a power twitch technique.

@neilmoneymaker4875 4 года назад

This guy is amazing and without knowing anything about him really I can tell u the way he's able to play those licks that fast with a single pedal. He has put in the practice time. It's not really about the spring tension or the type of pedal, it's all about the time you're willing to put into practicing. I'm not trying to be insulting, but if you're asking what spring tension or type of pedal, you're probably not at his level yet and need to continue practicing.

Great drummer but not a great guy. Met him once at Guitar Center and he was very clear in letting you know that he was a very good drummer and he made that point several times during his 20 minutes in Guitar Center. But then again how many great bands has he played in and stayed in?

@wdrumz 5 лет назад

I un followed his instagram a while ago when I saw he had Free Mason crap all over his wall. That is one step away from worshiping Lucifer at the HIGH ranks of the Masonry. Also dude is obsessed with weed, all I saw on his posts... He has a solid ass foot but I could totally see him having an attitude problem. My drum teacher Chad Szeliga is the complete opposite, he REALLY appreciates his fans and will sign whatever and take pics. Back when I saw him backstage with Breaking Benjamin, he was the only one that was there that gave a shit.

@kurtthedrummingplumber 5 лет назад

@SniperSam 5 лет назад

Now , what if you have a weird muscle issue with your main bass drum foot? mine is very inconsistent, whilst my left slams out faster beats way faster than my right. My right just stiffins up when i try to play doubles or triples at 160 bpm
