Hey, thanks! Essentially, I watched a lot of Zach and realized he was just doing the same motion over and over. For each person it may be a bit different, but I slide my foot from mid-pedal to front quickly, and let some bounce-back turn it into two strokes instead of one. Start really slow to figure out how it works and then practice enough to get it as fast as you want. I have a DW 7000 and I know Zach uses an Iron Cobra. Hope this helps a bit!
Maybe that will speed me up... I've seen Zach in cons (Hella days), Vans, and I swear in that latest Hella live footy my man has big ass new balance on 😆 Key is practice 🙏
How high do you keep your pedal tension? I had mine super low for a long time (largely an accident because I don't care about my gear at all) and raised it a good amount and I got noticeable faster. My slide technique is like 60-70% of what this is.
It's pretty low, but not all the way down. High can help with speed, but for me I lost the ability to control (switching from single to double strokes for more complex patterns) - ultimately, I'd find a tension where you can do fast singles and doubles feel easy. Speed comes with time. Keep adjusting variables and you'll find that sweet spot.
