What does being able to play fast accomplish, exactly? I'm all for the usage of triggers in order to play louder over an entire band, but hardly hitting the drum in order to achieve speed is kind of exploitation, in my eyes. Shannon Lucas, Roddy, Kollias, and the Charn all use triggers, but they also play with full-footed strokes.
@drums4life1100 The same thing as being able to run fast, or swim fast. It allows you to win competitions and have a goal to push for. Then a healthy side effect is having great chops to be able to play as fast as you creatively want when you are in a musical situation.
@Dreammotive Running and swimming fast are things you mostly train to do, i'll agree with you there, but there are many styles of music that you should learn to play without speed. Running and swimming only have running/swimming to stay in shape and running/swimming competitively. Would you be able to apply the techniques you've demonstrating here and be able to fit them in with a different type of music? How are your jazz chops? Latin? Funk? Rock? I see no practical use here, really.
@drums4life1100 I have a degree in percussion performance so Ive been through all the different styles. Metal is my favorite genre of music (of all non-fine-art) so I train to be the best metal drummer I can be. If my goal was to be a session drummer I would concentrate on diversity, if my goal was to be a great jazz drummer I would train for that. There are jazz drumming competitions and there are speed drumming contests. Its good because it gives people a hardline goal to meet
TBH I don't think a video would be useful, since they only show about 30 fps (60 interlaced) which is just about 1800 frames per minute. At 1799, his foot should look either stationary or a blur. p.s. I don't get why your vids are rated so low... It guess some people took offence at your so called "self promotion" in the Mike Machine vids... Well IMHO the more visibility this sportmusic gets, the better... Rock on!
Just to clear up, that 1799 record was a hands record, not a foot. And you're right the video frames would not be fast enough on a standard camera, but the audio would. You can get a pretty good idea of how fast they are by listening to it. If it sounds about like 32nds at 225 bpm then we can safely say his count is not off by more than a handful. Yeah, I got some low ratings because a small group of guys ganged up on me and decided to hurt me in anyway they could. It will even out over time.
Hello again! Wanted to mention apparently that Eric Okamoto (WFD 1,620 match doubles and 1,155 paradiddles) claimed he had a run of 1,799 match doubles in a minute (but no video to back it).
I do believe him though and think you may be able to stretch this speed over a longer run, but it may end up looking like a foot press double roll.
Do you know if WFD outlaws various styles on all record attempts, or just the hands and feet contests for prizes?
Wow! 1,799 doubles is amazing. I don't think he would lie about it either but you do need to have at a least a video so you can see if the speed sounds about right for what the counter is saying. I'm not sure how you're connecting this to what I'm doing here. Okamoto's 1,799 is equivalent to Tim W.s 1,407 doubles. My tech isn't comparable to anything in WFD because they have no comps for it. Several years from now, you're right I should be able to play quite fast if I keep training hard.
WFD, funny thing is it's hard to find out anything about WFD. I've emailed their site several times and they don't respond. From what I've heard the rules are the same all the time.
wow, sorry for all of the grammatical errors. lol

Oh, crap sorry about that. It's probably going to stay like that though because id have to delete and re-edit the whole video to change that.

Oh wait I was only wrong in the info section. Now it's correct.
