Derek Roddy’s Weak Foot Buster

[unliborator]

hows it going, LISTEN

[hyphen8nick]

Funny how clear the tonal color of those rides is. The right one lets you hear a Gm chord, and the left one an Eb/G. Really nice :)

[TheSamurai98]

no way i can do the last exercise xD in time, hopefully.

[AeroAstro]

Okay so like, my right foot is weaker than my left foot - what the shit?! Oh well, i can always make them both faster.

[Knifehorse]

this is absolutely killer

[THEUNHINGEDSANITY]

epic van shoes!

[ivanbagual]

[allmetaliswelcome]

@ivanbagual it's a lesson you ass

[tr3vstar01]

@ivanbagual fast foward it you noob otherwise watch a video thats not a lesson.....in actual fact listen so you learn a lesson.

[jessadambradlee]

the swirling loading circle is right at the center of his snare.... pooped a little, but not as a result of watching this video

[wiirluvenit]

I can't keep a steady beat with my left foot soo this is almost impossible



[queenmcsleaze]

@wiirluvenit do you mean steady as in to a metronome, or as in continuous extended etc

[FromtheInception]

Its hypnotizing.. it doesnt help that his cymbals sound awesome either. its so simple too.. this shit could make a serpent dance haha.

[ironmaidenshredd]

my left foot feels exhausted from just watching this viddeo haha

[OnTheBlocksMedia]

Just tried this at work with my winter boots on. Ouch! not fun at all Mr. Roddy!

[DrDazzleFTW]

What's this setup? Is it basically universal between right and left handed?

[axedstoninst]

@DrDazzleFTW yes, and if you are wondering it is made by sonor, although he just switched to DW

[jts024]

Not a fan of his work but he seems like an awesome dude to hang out with

[eskew77]

@MrHouseofdrums  educated response... dick head

[MrHouseofdrums]

I Think He's Full of CRAP!!!

[IronreaverVII]

@MrHouseofdrums Look up some of his work. The man is a legend.

[zachf914]

i use this technique everyday and it truely helps.

[Clydemontreal]

Simple, and very effective! Thanks!

[Hyshinara]

The last exercise sounds like a steam engine at certain times :P

[deusuniversa]

can you learn to love me?

[TLJCBFH]

Ey, Multitasking? Your now a woman! :D (sarcasm)

[GeorgeBennett92]

Ahhh that hurt!

[sickada]

one he started playing 16ths my left leg started getting tired just watching lol

[rollow5150]

I play on Ekit triggers and I have to say, you can't cheat on those. Triggers can be difficult to calibrate but it's all a matter of getting them dialed in correctly. Plus think on a mic you can get away with a little sloppy playing mistakes sometimes but it just depends on how consistent your hits are and how loud they project. Triggers on the other hand, if your sloppy it'll show, because your being tracked every time by a signal. How do you cheat with a consistent signal based on how you pl

[theshartmaster]

press 3 for "ass beats"

[burger414]

I actually hear pitches in the 2 cymbals!

[AlexDrums4Klunge]

@burger414 Yeah, I think drummers would be disappointed if their cymbals had the same pitch... :P

[ThePhoenix278]

This video isnt about triggers. So shut the fuck up about triggers.

[suhlyce]

first of all using triggers is only cheating if you set them up that way. if you suck you suck if your good youre good. second id like to see some of these trigger trolls play this shit either way. not the exercise, what is achievable using it as he demonstrates in his sick solos

[zachf914]

@suhlyce triggers enhance sound so when music is played, you can actually hear the double bass pedal. especially when your playing death metal. you have no idea what theyre used for and what they do. 99% of all death metal drummers use some sort of triggers. go to a concert and look for the electronical pad next to them. thats a trigger module. lol. i believe you're the "troll"

[suhlyce]

@zachf914 idk why youre comin at me i use em too. i was just sayin it doesnt matter if u do or not, it only makes your sound better not your playing

[zachf914]

@suhlyce but dont say they're "cheating" when they're not. if you use them, then why are you complaining?

[xXtheCrasherXx]

it even sounds very cool :)

[zachf914]

i do this exercise everyday! it works! thanks derek.

[FORTY848]

too bad he uses triggers here

[Blacklorigine]

@FORTY848 Are you DEAF? That's a 100% acoustic sound.

[FORTY848]

@Blacklorigine really, coz his springs are as loose as they go and the skin is as tight as it goes and it sounds like that?

[Blacklorigine]

@FORTY848 Derek plays his pedals with full spring tension.... The bass drums are full of pillows too and he doesn't play with much power (I don't care about an opposite opinion, you can fucking SEE that), so yeah, this sound is just natural.

[xen0genesis]

@FORTY848 no triggers, thats acoustic. if you can't differentiate acoustic sounds from triggers, then i don't know what to say.

[FORTY848]

@xen0genesis ok ok, maybe i was wrong about him having triggers, but i know for a fact that this video was made around the time that he still used triggers, that might have only been for when he played live i dont know. i will, for now accept that he isn't using triggers in this video. everyone happy now?

[RapiDEraZeR]

@FORTY848

what the fuck are you trying to archieve?

[FORTY848]

@RapiDEraZeR i seriously dont care anymore

[soulsinger90876]

@FORTY848 whats bad about triggers? u another trigger troll?

[FORTY848]

@soulsinger90876 nothings bad about triggers, i was gunna use them a little while ago but it was too difficult to hook up and stuff. just whenever i hear a song with kick triggers i lose a tiny little bit of respect for the drummer. good thing i haven't actually been able to find a derek roddy song anywhere then

[soulsinger90876]

@FORTY848 well they just want you to hear the bass so you have satisfaction

[holmer666]

I'm Old Gregg.... I've got a Man-gina!!!!!

[MitchellRisTheBest]

i tried it for 20 min straight and my left stung like a bitch

[psychotickurt]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!! It works tho!!!!! :D

[fannydialafilms]

im surprised he didnt just start blasting

[slayermanbob]

I'm no drummer, but I enjoyed checking this out anyways. I couldn't keep up with the second pattern with the 16ths

[0o0o0127]

Holy hell does this method work well! It's simple yet keeps you thinking and in control.

[DeusUniversa10]

he didn't give me enough time to tell him how it was going :*(

[nemesis233]

@DeusUniversa10 LOL

[Ecwjr007]

I was doing this while watching it (obviously not on my drumset) and my legs are tired, now I'm gonna try this out on my set!

[Nilephan666]

At 6:56 he's just "OH MY LEG"

[XanatosUS]

Drummer Needed For Recording & Live Shows...

[napalmfred]

Insane independence.

[NICKHAM16]

That is brilliant.

[Kevinkoch2443]

i try this looks good!

[flashminka]

This workout is brilliant! On monday I could only just hit 160BPM today on Friday I can do 200BPM evenly! Recommended for everyone.

[TommyOwnzU]

@flashminka really?!

[scaxxomaxx]

@flashminka O_O wtf! with ankle motion or full leg?

[flashminka]

@scaxxomaxx A mixture of those to be honest.

[gabe562]

Great to do it heel up and heel down. Doing this with the 16th notes is what got me in sync to play 32nd blast beats very loud and precise.

[ascarb1]

Oh god it burns!

[JustAnotherDrummerJG]

what bpm is this on?

[StEVe6XeR06K0oL6]

DUDE, THAT'S SSSIC! I'M GONNA TRY THAT; IT SEEMS LIKE A LEGIT WAY TO GET THE OPPOSITE LEG UP TO SPEED AND SOLID!

[GreggWK]

Amazing

[777EZekiel]

omg its so hard :(

[MrBlackBogan]

@bobo123a just put your regular hats on the right.

[drumsonly2002]

An eye opener for sure. Thanks for posting!

[MrDeagunJones]

snare sounds like butt

[gabe562]

@MrDeagunJones I think it sounds like it would sound great if it were actually playing through it's mic, and not the video camera's mic. It seems like it sounds fat and tight

[Timsta1010]

I'm going to try this out... Holy poo i have a feeling i'm going to violate my shin muscles

[gabe562]

His Rides have so much tone that it sounds like he is playing some epic song melody!!!

[pipedude23]

damn i can't do it :( It sounds rly messed up

[DuRoberxkoz]

nicee

[DrewCdrummer24]

in like the first 6 seconds of him talking.... he sounds like old greg

[killertas1]

@DrewCdrummer24 im old greg old greg got a man vagina

[FastHands1504]

@DrewCdrummer24 He totally fucking does!!!

[tylerkylezeke]

@DrewCdrummer24 Ya like Bailey's?XD

[DRUM]

@dumadave10

You will definitely wear out your legs on this.

[IronCobraKid]

@DRUM I sent in a subscription 4 months ago and finally got the bill and was so full of typos i didn't know what was happening. If you can't write or design a magazine bill how do you make a magazine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dumadave10]

@dumadave10  OH it does!!!!!! best work out so far
