220bpm double bass

[NerfWarrior1096]

excellent job dude that was seriously kick-ass...do you have any advice on how to do fast double bass? like technique and stuff? thanks.

[daveychaz]

the ONLY people that criticize using double bass are the ones that cant play shit on a double set up. They say dumb stuff like: I do on a single bassdrum what most guys can do on two...well I got news for you....you ain't playin 16th's at 220 bpm on a single. It's about making your feet equal to your hands...

[PhilipDave90]

THRASH!!!!

[mikelovesdeb]

Clearly Awesome man u rule Drums are cool and so are you  A+ from MD TY:)

[kirkyboy047]

this is what killed happyfeet.

[DrummingNonStop]

Lower your beaters bro.

[xXrambomberXx]

He used to get 1000 bpm but, he took an arrow to the knee

[spikeruchiha80]

i got that head too, I love it!

[DontNeedNames]

Awesome! gj

[alskdjfhg0]

hm....indeed..

[naleyan]

why?

[gacio0]

Are you wearing Airwalk shoes?

[ParanormalActivity16]

nice pattern man ;)

[Scotty515]

@Freezaen This is true, but faster speed nearly always comes at a sacrifice of power. Unless you're an absolutely amazing drummer that can get the power out of your strokes at say, 250bpm for example, odds are you'll end up using triggers as a result of the need for consistency, which is great for tone, but bad for technique lol

[Killyoudeadnstuff]

@Scotty515 i can keep my power and consistency near the top of my double bass speed! problem is that's at 180 bpm. ... i think i'm going to do some double pedal exercises now...

[Scotty515]

@AFatGypsyFanny yeah DAFLOYD82 is my bass player, he's seen me play with and without triggers, we always have this arguement on the pros and cons of it lol

[AFatGypsyFanny]

@Scotty515 fair enough ermm do you like the head on this

[NickB33]

Jesus!

[DAFLOYD82]

as if u have had 22,330 views on this shit :P

for me im the bassist in this band, triggers are the easy way out, if ur gonna play, then play it cunting properly!!

[AFatGypsyFanny]

@DAFLOYD82 there is no triggers

[ParanormalActivity16]

fuck yeah!!!

[SabianBoy1]

shit bro niiice haha

[sepulcesar]

Great playing!!

Wich pedal are u using??

[WesPlaysDrums4Life]

Why do you keep your beaters so high up?

[BubbleRapOwns]

What pedal is that?

[drummerdevil91]

Does angling the bass drum like that help at all????

[CameronADD]

@drummerdevil91 Yes, it will. By angling it backward, the beaters don't have to go as far to hit the kick.

[drummerdevil91]

@CameronADD Oh. that's pretty badass . The only thing is that mine don't go as high as his do. Is there like different ones you can buy?

[CameronADD]

@drummerdevil91 You can buy different bass drums, yes...But, because his bass drum looks like an 18'', it probably LOOKS like it can go higher than, say, a 22'', when infact it doesn't... :)

[Scotty515]

@CameronADD nice to see someone else gets the idea behind angling the bass drum :) and you were close on guessing the size, it's a 20", not 18"

[CameronADD]

@Scotty515 NEARLLYY! haha! :D. I knew it was smaller than mine, anyway (Mine's a 22''). Nice sound to it though :).

[wandersonfcastro]

you gotta lay off the red bull my brotha, that stuff will kill you... 5/5

[MexicanJumpingLlama]

Is there a reason why you have your bass drum on a tilt or are you just doin it cause it looks cool? Cause I heard that have your bass drum on a tilt will put all the weight of the drum onto the hoop which will cause it to warp and eventually knock the head out of tune. Just some friendly advice eh. :)

[Hheawy]

Sounds closer to 230, nice playing anyway

[Utahjazzpwn]

Definately faster than 220 bpm

[Utahjazzpwn]

That is

[Volentry]

Nice speed!

[artachira]

how do u not lose control, I always lose control and go way too fast and off beat and like hit the two beaters at the same time, pls help

[CommanderDaz]

@artachira depends how long you've had/been practicing with a double pedal for. i got my first double pedal at christmas and i practiced everyday and eventually i developed good control and speed within 3-4 months

[artachira]

@CommanderDaz ok thank you very much, so like my drum teacher sed, just keep practicing and ull get it. thx dude have a good life

[RideForLifeCR250R]

NICE MAN....\m/



[masterbeat04]

what? no reso head? that's cool dude! ^_^

[AllInDrummer]

i have a EMAD single ply i bought 5-6 years ago and i play it quite hard with the smaller ring :) it is as new an i've actually tried to throw some aggression and brake it ... but it didn't ...

[Roger17drummer]

very nice

[Scotty515]

@elementality2431; everyone's entitled to their opinion dude, i respect yours but i can't help but argue that some of the most killer grooves ever have been written/played on double bass, i have a lot of respect for drummers that stick to a single bass pedal but it IS recommened that you try to practice on a double pedal, even if you never use it in your gig/recording playing.

[Freezaen]

@Scotty515 Why? I've heard tons of people tell me that they can go faster and more accurate on two separate.

[Scotty515]

JESDRUMS1994; i do like the emad2, the sound on them is fantastic and i used it on the latest Impaled Existence record(it actually fell apart during the recording process haha), BUT the SK II are beyond anything i've played before and i've been using the head in this video for about a year and a half now and it's still going as strong as day 1 :)

[JESDRUMS1994]

what would you recommend a super kick or an emad 2? ive had the emad 2 but it fell apart on me within a couple months, so im thinking bout changing to this.

[elementality2431]

i fuckin hate double kicks dudes, no groove. still impressively fast though

[elementality4me]

@elementality2431 Lol I thought you were me for a second. I didn't remember commenting on this video before.

To each their own about drum style, but the skill is still quite impressive, you must admit

[PatrikVorg]

SERIOUSLY! I drooled while watching this... I dunno if it was cause I ate a lot a sec ago but.... this sure was droolable xD

[Roger17drummer]

sounds good. nice :)

[dubsteprocks]

do you have like 20 feet?

[MINIMI95020]

flawless

[Scotty515]

@MATTlovesDRUMS thanks a lot man :) i had borrow my friend's mapex black panther 14'' snare for a while as mine got totally annihilated beyond repair and couldn't afford a new snare lol. But thankfully that's all sorted and i'm now playing a Pearl ELX Cobalt Fade 14'' that was a bargain on ebay :D

[MATTlovesDRUMS]

nice chops, man. i really dig the sound of the bass drum. what kind of snare do you have?

[blsftw666]

thats like an 18 bass!! LOL

[DrumWizzard]

Awesome !

[DrumWizzard]

Awesome !

[MrYonatandor]

What pedals are these?

[tymcflyy]

@MrYonatandor They look like pearls.

[pescalante2]

sounds awesome for metal, however I think your bass drum beaters are a little too high, they should be more centered!

[Wugherumm]

ona ord for you, METRONOME

[MMTPproductionz]

do you keep your bass head really tight becuase mine is pretty echoing and i still have blankets inside the drum and its pretty loose

[DeadLTBow]

What pedals and what did you put n ur drum?

[datommaster]

hey can you give some tips on how to build speed? just like exercises i can do to help build my speed to about this level.

[urbanannihilators]

NICE! What pedals are you using?

[Dynastyballerr09]

bass sounds amazing!! tutorial on tuning ?

[MysticalKitty71]

any song this goes too or is that off the top of your head, cuz i like the bass

[Scotty515]

@MysticalKitty71 nah just off the top of my head, the first thing i always jam out double bass is a beat from song called "For the Innocent" by Ted Maul, then everything else just goes from there xD

[BNSdrumm3r]

@Scotty515 What pedals are you using?

[008JesusFreak]

Sweet!!! just got my first double bass pedal the run was cool but i like the whole beat in it self. nice.

[TheWezel1995]

Love it! How do you get your bass sound like that? XD

[gabbalabbawoop]

sounding pretty good, i like it :)

how come you removed your reso? for more attack? :)

one head to try if you want a good companion for the SKII is a ported regulator...that would actually create a dampening effect to give yo ubetter rebound :)

[angrepspanser]

Super, bro! since 0:24 is awesome! Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrr!

[assssin3]

Dude.. how did yo manage to play it this fast!! Seriously i suck at this... pplease share!!!

[LaochWins]

Dude you cheated! You used 2 beaters!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

[andympants]

how do you tell how many beats a minute your playing?

[Scotty515]

@andympants the best i've found of doing it is to play something, then keep the video on repeat and then crank up the BPM on a metronome until it's tight as possible, it says 220bpm in the title, but it wasn't a solid 220, granted a couple of bpm give or take

[maurifender]

nice!!

[KiddyExtreme]

wht kind of pedal is that

[DubyaBoy]

your beaters arent in the center of the head, does that matter? I just picked up some gammon dual chain driven pedals, and this head is ariving in the mail tomorrow, ive got a tama 22'' bass drum, any tips for dampening/tuning/reso head tuning?

[jwaldman69]

What did you use for your tom heads?

[smileschannel1]

F-ing lucky i cant get my bass drum to sound like

[Scotty515]

@smileschannel1 it can be done on near enough any head, slacken the batter head as much as you can so you get a good slap from it, and tighten the resonant head up until you're happy with the tone. :)

[Scotty515]

@smileschannel1 and just to prove that point, i'm actually playing on a god awful shitty budget kit there, i'm too cheap to buy a new kit, hahaha :P

[donnaoblivian]

@Scotty515 this is how im finding my heads work best and with no muffling, i recently added a kickport to the resonant head which improved the punch, im preferring single ply on the batter, i have an aquarium but im thinking of getting an ebony ambassador because when i was tuning the resonany head up i noticed there was quite a lot of slap/attack when i was hitting it with my bass drum beater in my hand, what kind of heads do you use?

[munkych33z]

this head is amazing, recently bought one, love it. i also have the same pedals as you! theyre awesome!

[Metal66671]

very cool

[xAIRSOFTxxxSERIOUSx]

that aquarian head is so nice man im getting it today

[Scotty515]

@xAIRSOFTxxxSERIOUSx

awesome! :D it feels great to play on, has such a brilliant attack on it if you get it as slack as possible

[xAIRSOFTxxxSERIOUSx]

i know its so aggressive and looks great

[xi0wnallx]

thats so sick
