Claude and the Double Bass

[doublebassrox]

what kinda puma are they?

[663Ryan]

Does your mum know you've niked all the bed sheets??

[iamxeddiex]

I rock pumas when I drift. I bet you love them. BTW, I'm trying to play my guitar with this.

[Billnipp1]

wrestling shoes? like tommy lee?

[coolarjun90]

its the Tama Flexi glide!

[niuli]

excellent double bass work!

[sarge777]

Cannot find these shoes anywhere... Does someone know the name? I've looked on puma (dot) com but cannot find them there.

[phunnyplace]

that would be amazing if he was standing xD what a beast,

[Masterdurge]

What pedals are those?

[TAMAnman]

@Masterdurge

It's old Tama Iron Cobra Power Glide Single Pedal

[j10p31c]

your shoes remind me of sleeping bags

[TheMonkeyboy84]

same technique as im using you awesome man!! =)

[juanda1067]

WTF!!

you 're the best

[doublebassrox]

i honestly think your pumas are hella sick! ...what are your pumas called?

also your double bass is good. \m/(-_-)\m/

[daoli1994]

the left BD sounds way different than the other ... :(

[revell55]

@daoli1994 Imho its better if they don't sound exactly the same, then you'll hear

[101MPT]

i love the sound of the bass drum and your style

[CalTamaDrummer]

do you use any kind of pad on your bass drum? i love that clicky thud sound. i have mine dampened but im trying to to get more of that sound.

[88fanforlife]

that sound he gets is most likely triggers, which are electronics to enhance drum sounds, or he's really good with making his sound

[8MERCENARIO8]

tocas dejando los parches frenados, yo pensaba que había que dejarlos resonar. es solo una duda.

[Kudan26]

cuistion de gustos, mi bombop suena a bombo con o sin muffing dentro

pero me gusta mas con algo adentro, solo que no toca los parches, solo le quita volumen, pero le deja el tono, es cuestion de gustos, los jazzistas lo usan un poco mas agudo y con mas resonancia

[Foatizenknechtl]

you wos so good

[brendanvdrums]

everyone that watched this vid has to watch mine :P i'll show u how not to do it

[Phillipvi]

yes

[azurequu]

Are those Iron Cobras?

[Dada13409]

what pedals do you use?

[killemall588]

class man. wile funny shoes tho!!

[Zfighter9999]

sounded like one from metallica at 2:01, nice work, any tips for being able to play that fast on tempo?

[AkiThePirate]

Practice.

There is no magic technique.

Just get lots of metal records, and play to them.

[aldor159]

one

[MCStanden]

This sounds kinda like Lars' drum solo on the Live Shit San diego gig.

[SHMAKG]

I gotta put something in my bass drums to keep them muffled too.

[Bostafito]

the colour of your shoes reminds me the Mystic from X-men ... lol

[Eseksolosabeknosabe]

did you receive classes? or you're self-taught

[buuuumann]

2.02 metallica - one just a little bit slower

[SpaceCowboy617]

fucking insane man awesome im subscribing

[gothrowsome2a]

what bass heads?

[sandrailfreak]

dude that first drum beat is like the fear factory beat for demafacture

[drummatization1031]

looks like tama iron cobras

[Ghost8O5]

they are iron cobras

[Linpath]

they are ...

[disturbeddrummer7]

what brand and model are your pedals?

[ShortestStraw1193]

Heel up is the best way to play double bass

[Ghost8O5]

you said it man!

[EAaltv]

i just began double bass drumming and it's kinda hard at first, oh well i can only play up to 150 bpm for only a while now

[bryan770]

What kind of mics are you using? Or can anyone recommend good drum mics?

[bryan770]

Never mind. Sorry I just read your "about me" section on your channel.

[TasmarCompany]

Shure. But for a bass drum, and heavy style, need to trig' it.

[Palavalve]

0:31

Flams?!

[EduNascimentoDrummer]

sure!

[klassik360]

does this hurt after a while?

[jometekken]

you dude...... where did you get that ability... amazing.. what's that thing inside your base drum, blanket??? cool...

[FattyMcGee112233]

u put those inside bass drums to muffle 'em a little, and sharpen up the sound of the drum hits

[camo03]

I think I saw you in Music Arts a few years ago... You were trying a double pedal...

[sarge777]

2:02

One By Metallica?

[MetalFallenCORE]

damn yea

[metafixi]

yeah but it is actually alot faster.

[kalydascope]

dude it looks like youre standing up

[boXHead257]

yeah, hes standing up and playing double bass on his TOES. Dumbass.

[kalydascope]

uh, buddy, i hope you realise I said 'LOOKS' I know he isn't standing, so youre the dumbass.

[boXHead257]

Damm (N) Thats too bad..

[mapexlb]

dont know if you know but you're left kick is tuned alot higher than you're right... gonna be real hard to roll steady with the left tuned so much higher. oh and I would drop you're chair down about 2 inches....

[Joeysic66]

Tiny pedals. How do you do Heel-Toe?

[elementskater3783]

i can hear "one" and "blackened" mixed in there

[abatzkon]

nice one!

[cobby32]

same :P

[creamsoda89]

i'm sure you didn't even notice the time signatures and triplets then.

[somos999]

I did but i still believe that this is only mediocre stuff and that there are many drummers out there who actually deserve a view or 2 instead of a guy trying to hit both pedals at the same time.

Shorry if it hurts his feelings i understand but thats my opinion.

[creamsoda89]

you sure those aren't quick flams? i can see an amazing amount of control in all his other videos, i think you're underthinking it.

[XPhyscoDrummerX]

somos999 hes doing triplets with his feet thats pretty hard thing to im a drummer and im still trying to get that one down mediocre my ass. have you not seen his other videos hes really good

[cobby32]

If you want help with triplet double bass, I suggest you try a song called A Cold Day in Hell by Winds of Plague. In fact there is a lot of triplet double bass in Winds of Plague. If your interested.

[somos999]

Hm the beginning does seem rather complicated, but the rest of the video imo is NOT that good! thats my opinion, and i'm commenting this video only i have not commented on the other ones cuz i do believe they re impeccable.

this video let me down. Geezus all that cuz i said my opinion...

[djfireball999]

He's not a drum.

[IonRocker5000]

that was amazing

[trainmandan05]

what kind of bass skins are those?

[MsMx775]

by far the ugliest shoes ive ever seen

[IonRocker5000]

those are amzzing shoes dumbass

[przemq88]

triggers sucks:P

[Doochahh]

Not for youtube vids they don't lol.

[heavymetalkid999]

i need help i play heel up but only started playing double bass and my left foot goes all tard on me how can i overcome this problem?

[Oprayx]

There is no quick fix, just practice rudiments with your feet. Not only will this drill in the coordination into your brain it will strengthen the muscles and you're control. I'm no expect though. Rob

[noelmaahinen]

Huh?

nice!

u are the best drummer what i know(in youtube) :D

[coolboy123a]

look the cobus at the youtube

[theworldofrocknroll]

2:02-2:06 is obviously the double bass pattern for metallicas one

sweet doubles good speed

[zmanbstyle]

eh...

are those wrestling shoes?? haha

[Kallicles]

nickelback is gay =)

[KurlyNoyz]

does anyone know what pedals those are?plz reply

[mynameisdrummerkevin]

iron cobras powerglide

[porkwiz]

They are actually Iron Cobra Jr. Pedals.

[westhofer8]

are you sure? they don't look like Jr.s

[porkwiz]

Well, now I'm not entirely sure anymore :-P

I own a regular Iron Cobra, and its frame is a lot wider than the pedal in the video.

I think that I might be wrong :/

[miltongoswell]

no they aren't juniors because they have a double braced chain from the footboard to the beater, not a single chain

[porkwiz]

Ah, ok.

My bad.

[drumdude91123]

NICE!!!!

[DamjanS16]

nice sound, and some good ideas, but needsa bit tightening up, nd evenin the strokes in the 16ths, not too bad tho

[GNproductions13]

come on then send us a video

[cachoupana]

nice puma´s

[CardFreak123456]

holy crap i gotta get me some of those shoes the look soooo confortable

[evilducky2]

i hate nickelback chad is gay

[kewanee23]

this solo was played at the nickelback concert

[HalfOzFull13]

I LovE y0UUUU

[sgeGaming]

thoose are some wierd ass space shoes ya got there :D

[pepperSTP]

dude is your stool like 20m of the ground or what?

[spudsmile]

lol he's playing heels up. duh.

[HamburgerTrain]

Bad technique

[rock0ut42]

Well, all you have to do now is to post a video of you playing exactly what he is playing with the GOOD technique.

[HamburgerTrain]

I have nothing to prove. It's like saying to someone who said good technique to post a video of him playing a bad technique. Heh... Quite pointless right ? I have the rights to give my opinion and that wasn't mean ; his technique, mostly on his left foot, isn't very good. That's all.

[TheAnti1337]

I agree. But maybe way to make it better since you seem like you know a lot about whats good and bad.

[jimmystyxs]

put up or shut up Primus boy

[drummeremme]

Nice :)

[Bawitdaba69]

what i hate is when u start loosing beat of the bass drums cause ure going to fast and it just sounds like one big beat

[angelafour]

Are those felt beaters??

And if so, how do you get so much click

[brigdetosomewhere]

your bass sound is amazing post a vid on how you got it so perfect, and what pedals do you use? I like how they respond and the length.

[iTpyo]

what he does is put a hole in the front of the drum then he puts towels in them

[Auguste10]

howd u get ur 2 kicks to SOUND THE SAME!!!!!!

[worldwar2madman]

nice shoes! what make are they?

[DrewFarmie]

obviously Puma......

[pisskopf001]

seit ihr eig alle dumm oder was ...was is da dran so toll man des is kein bisschen sauber gespielt man..!!!!!

[TAMAnman]

That's crazy playing! Awesome!

And bass sounds - great, amazing! Your bass sound simply the best I ever heard!

[dowapbambutt]

i feel like maybe theres something i dont see considering this guys rating and all the possitive comments but this is just sloppy!

[MallenMusic]

I hope your not being simple minded and all by rating, or making a judgement on this guy just by watching a lil' vid on he bass drum technique. Its not all abotu ya feet now is it??

[dowapbambutt]

not at all - i suck with my feet i broke the shit pedal that came with my shit set in six months and spent the next six months pedal less - and i didnt rate i just feel like im missing something if this is worth showcasing - but i dont know

[sphound]

interesting shoes

[badshan]

dude your bass sounds awesome

[TheDirectorofFoo]

PLEEEEEEEEEASE tell me how u make ur bass drum sound so good. I see the pillow but mine sounds terrible with the pillows or whatever in there.

[k0mbutcha]

he recorded it very good. that's why it sounds that great

[Eddie147741]

WHAT KIND OF PEDALS HE HAVE???

[R4ptor2]

tama

[94fordf350]

tama iron cobra

[schultinator]

bisschen zu lang...

aber sonst cool^^

[x0scimy0x]

a little sloppy but nice sound man

[chirstmas679]

try to keep the beat without breakin up so much ur very good with that duble bass drum

[HenBanKeN]

I think he is only trying that technique, without take care about tempo... Come on, watch the Blackened video... why he doesn't have troubles with that song, and the others? xD

[lokoskater666]

i like your shoes :)

[wolfy18]

A little sloppy in places but very good. Your bass drums soud amazing.

[kerzwhile]

Check out Billy Canty for some REAL double bass playing!!!

[iamamerica1776]

i like the sound of your bass drums how did u tune them like tht? i tried to do tht with mine but it never worked

[Fear1The1Spear]

ur bass drums sound different

[metaldrummer86]

can you do double strokes?

[Tjockiez]

really nice and really good. but asnightjosh said. tempo. u should do somekinda little break or u need to make another changeover when ur changing the tempo. then it would be awesome =)

Nice work(Y)

[nightjosh]

Have u ever heard of TEMPO??

keep on practicing,u r talented,but need more training(at least playing double bass)

[Puppelpoeka]

my tip is: dont keep your foot so up, let it slide 5-10cm down and kicking would be easier :)

[Yein1985]

Puma commercial...

[frankiesb42]

exactly what i was thinking ahah lol

[Trustkiller911]

You trigger your snare as well as the kicks no?

[fizzlebug]

fucking nice! what shoes are those? never seen shoes like that!

[dgcpinoy]

poor blankets look like they are being tortured. lol The way they vibrate like that.

[BaseballBoxBreakerr]

dgcpinoy lMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHAH THAT MADE MY DAY!

[skovie23232]

awesome

[chtidrummer]

cool bravo

[mapexlb]

not trying to be lame ok, you play good but if I could say anything it would be to work on that left foot and kick it just as hard as the right, you can watch my video's, I wouldn't say anything if I didn't have good feet... pull back on that right and kick both perfectly even.

[dogeatdog2345]

Heel up is definatly the way to play double bass

[jayschimming]

Reminds me of Mike Portnoys feet

[musclebobbuffpants]

Are you fucking retarted? Go watch his other vids, hes fucking amazing you douchefart

[CrazeeGiant]

LOLOLOL douchefart... I'm gonna remember that!

[LORDHOKAGE90]

have u seen his other vids or u just blind?

[jeenyu5]

you are one fucking retard.

[TheNaG]

fucking dumbass, load up ur own shit, and then let's see who can't drum.

[1234561234aa]

are u crazy????

hes amazing

voll horst -.-

[okey971]

enfin une vidéo qui me permet de voir comment fonctionne une double pédale lol! mais j'ai une question, si qqun ici peut me répondre: lorsque l'on a une double pédale, est-ce qu'il faut avoir une charleston spéciale pour qu'elle reste fermée quand on ne l'utilise pas???

[Mary3952]

en fait , dans le vidéo c'est des simple pédales avec 2 bass drum, Pour le hi-hat bah il vende une gogosse qui sert a le laisser fermé lousse ou bien élevé

[haroldthecuban]

WHAT???? lol

[martialarts0]

when you play that technique fast, you any advice to get them sepparated?

[TokyoXplorer]

cool

[upacosmo69]

LARS ULRICH!!!!!!!!!!

[espdv8MINE]

[iteletnap]

[quikstyx11]

[kwzero12]

[LDX97]

wow you sould cheat and go heel-toe techinique and see how fast you can go. maybe like joey

[kukkujakuu]

4/5 nice solo u can use single pedal very food but your doublebass working is cool too.

[SethSeth77]

But your good mate seen your vids well done

[SethSeth77]

NICE TRAINERS MATE

[soadxxsystem]

i just started playing drums, im ok wit double bass. im working on swivel. but what are triggers?

[abacacus]

triggers are put on the side of a drum and when you hit the drum the send a signal to a modual and play a different sound then your drum actually makes. they also amplify strokes, so a weak little tap will be a giant BOOM when triggerd, sometimes.

[Kounnas]

the only thing is he doesn't use triggers,and i personally hate them,unless i wanted a weird sound like a lightsaber when i record. but i'd rather muffle them and just get a mic and a mixer so i can just add the sound over a video.

[abacacus]

i know he dosn;t use triggers. i dont hate them but i think most people use them wrong.

[fodge333]

god !!!!! i just watched all your video....you kick ass!!! very great, AWESOME
