oh i remember this is the first video i`ve watched back then as i`ve first watched mike johnston , and from that time i started to watch all of his Lessons and `ve learned a lot from him ^^
He's very talented indeed. Congratulations to you mate, you've impressed me (:
btw, I know a guy who does triplets with single pedle at quite fast tempo allowing him to do some insane sounding beats, I can imagine that it'd be awesome do be able do those things, but I'm to lazy to learn those single-foot technics.
hopefully that got your attention , soo i heard practicing rudiments with your feet can help increase your bass speed dramatically ?
but i was wondering , do you have to use a pedal ? or can you be sitting at your desk tapping rudiments on the floor ? cuz i dont wanna be using my bass drum in the middle of the night , or having to move my pedals back and forth from a pad to the bass .
@nathantdwp777 You better always try to stay on your drums and "tools" as long as you can, response, dynamic, fulcro and stuff like this is always going to be different away from your baby :) soo, always try to practice on "her", anyway you can warm up your muscles and keep on practicing without the pedal, if you're forced to, I understand your issue, is a common one :P tapping on the floor is not the best way, but is a way, just try non to hurt your self! Have a good one, God bless you.
What's with all the double bass abuse? Clearly it gets better results if you're playing metal music because you can only really play 2 notes in a row that fast using single pedal. It's good to be able to go fast with one foot but if the music needs it then using a double pedal isn't 'cheating'. I'd like to see someone do a decent slipknot cover with one foot.
@420jaymac I don't even like Slipknot, but the point is that a good drummer should be versatile and so they should be capable of playing heavy metal well, which can't be done with a single bass pedal.
@420jaymac Can you give an example? Some music certainly requires double bass - that's all I'm saying. I just don't think that using double bass pedal can be called cheating...
@wedgehead100 here is derek roddy showing some examples of a traditional blast beat: youtube dot com /watch?v=18oaIznHoOI note: he only uses single pedal in video
mIKE gREAT LESSON you clear care about DRUMMERS so do I so can I ask you to SHARE THE LINKS TO MY DRUMMER HEALTH SPECIFIC VIDEO that deals with the 3rd biggest killer and the numbe rONE INCAPACITATOR IN THE WEST my 2 part film is called "DRUMBEATSTROKE" the information it has been checked by Health Professionals to be accurate.
ALL I ASK YOU TO PLS SPREAD IT TO ALL YOUR DRUM CONTACTS AND ASK THEM TO DO THE SAME. I was Paralysed at 38yrs old I play with just ONE HAND& ONE FOOT
you can obviously see, that he isn't using a double bass pedal, because his left foot bounces the same way when he isn't playing fast double strokes as when he is. I can see how you would think that.
Hey Mike, I just bought a drum set for church, and I am a beginner. I was wondering any drummers I should look up(besides you, of course.) that can be good role models? =)
@beatcrew: He is using a single pedal and has been playing for several years and I find it insulting to him that you would think he is using a double pedal.
Ok i know some of u might think hes playing double bass but he isnt, u can tell cause of if the other foot was on the hi hat it would be lifting us his right foot doesnt move enough for the spped of the bass pedal to move with the apeed of his leg.
Haha its funny when you watch mike's newer videos where he has clearly proven he uses a single pedal and then come back to an older one such as this, where people think he uses a double - if he was using a double kick his hi hat would be open not closed! Once again great video Mike :)
nah he is not using double bass pedal.. just bouncing. i know because i have 7 year old active drum life..and i know how to do this technique and how to use it....
that little shuffle beat at 2:02 was tight, the rest afterwards is all kind of hard to get at if i'm not wearing shoes or if i'm playing with a really shitty pedal with little rebound. and like others said, mike DOESN'T use double pedals, at least in this and in most exercises as far as i am aware.
if i was to guess, he is keeping time on his left by tapping his heel, but he is using his toe on the pedal, the only reason i say this, is i have been asked if i was playing single bass, and keeping time on the hat for the same reason, my left leg bounces away on the heel, its just like a natural thing
i dont wanna say he is but he is using double kick. theres a big difference between keeping time with ur foot and doing what hes doing. his foot only moves slightly when hes not using the kick, but when he gets into the faster stuff his foot is moving exactly as if he is using doubles, and it sounds like a double kick as well. fair obvious guys
If only more videos were like this, soooo sooo helpful nice and chatty no nonsense and goes completely against the norm of vidoes where its just to showboat,only thing know is to do a clinic in the uk soo you can sign the linear book im going to buy soon ha.
hmm...nevermind...it's a single pedal. my bad. it can be done by hitting your heel then the ball of your foot following through. Like a Tim Waterson single pedal version.
Im pretty convinced it's a double pedal...notice the height of his left and right legs getting shorter as he increases speed. He is also keeping time with his right leg. just a guess though.
The dude is absolutely performing these exercises on a single pedal. It's not terribly difficult to see that and it's not terribly difficult to actually perform the exercises either. Great warm up though.
i agree. too many drummers today use double bass and they consider themselves 'talented' ...most even use a trigger. you might learn something from guys like mike...he actually has some real talent! i myself refuse to use double bass...its cheap. the right pedal helps too...i tried out a cobra and was playin doubles and triples it pretty damn fast
mad mAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDD respect for YOU mike johnston greatest drum teacher EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH ima go scream at someone.
for all u sillys that think hes using double bass, look at his left foot. just watch it. the whole way through. it never leaves the hi hat pedal. its the bouncing white thing below his ass. this man is a master. 6/5
why would he have to use a double pedal? most real drummers especially those that are endorsed can do what eva they want with a bass pedal there is no need for a double pedal unless they wanna do somethin for heavy metal music
your right dude, his left foot was keeping time but when it goes to 32nd and 64th his left foot changed, you can see his white sneaker. plus he's playing the high hat so his foot is just there to keep time off the pedal but when he needs it he switches over
everyone shut the fuck up he's just bouncing, its a really easy technique, learn it and stop saying this guy is using a double bass pedal. I really have respect for this guy because he doesnt use one. it seems that all drumming today consists of two beaters. im sick of it
Definitely a single bass technique here. For those of you freaked out by the sixty fourth note part just slow the overall beat down a bit untill your foot starts to get comfortable with the faster pulses. You can of course leave them out at first but your foot will get it eventually kick in to that same hight gear.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it could be done on a single pedal but he's moving his left foot like you would if you were playing that with a double bass pedal, so he is most likely using one
ayo i was struggling to get this using one padel not knowiung that u were using two. it helped me though. i can do some of the things u did bu not the really fast one at the end
Heel and Toe and Slide are variations of getting the double kick sound, there are other ways too, just keep practicing doing doubles between your foot and your hand, like kk,ss (kick, kick, snare,snare) if you improve your speed, and get it like doing doubles with you hands, the rudiment, then you can do this, it does not matter if you do heel, slide or whatever, you can create you own, by adapting to what fits you best.
he's not using two pedals, he's counting with the left leg. You can tell this when he is playing only the hi-hat and snare and the left leg is still going but with out sound.
the slide technique doesn't contain your heel. slide technique: kick with your toes on the plate near the heel plate, then quickly slide forward and catch the moving pedal to commit another kick. heel toe: move your toes to the very front of your pedal while keeping your heel up. then let your heel fall and right after that, let your toes kick, still heel down. you only need to adjust the speed to get non-shuffled strokes and stuff, takes a little time
mike johnston does NOT use double bass drum pedal. He uses a dw 4000 pedal. His favorite pedal is dw 5000 so he uses that sometimes. The reason his left foot is moving, is because he marks time with his left foot. He uses the skip technique which is like the slide technique but second note is accented. hope I cleared everything up.
oh i remember this is the first video i`ve watched back then as i`ve first watched mike johnston , and from that time i started to watch all of his Lessons and `ve learned a lot from him ^^

Heel and Toe and Slide are variations of getting the double kick sound, there are other ways too, just keep practicing doing doubles between your foot and your hand, like kk,ss (kick, kick, snare,snare) if you improve your speed, and get it like doing doubles with you hands, the rudiment, then you can do this, it does not matter if you do heel, slide or whatever, you can create you own, by adapting to what fits you best.

hes using his left foot to hold the beat. lots of drummers do that, he aint using a double pedal.

he's not using two pedals, he's counting with the left leg. You can tell this when he is playing only the hi-hat and snare and the left leg is still going but with out sound.

is the slide technique the same as the heel toe? or whats the difference
joshpattt 2 years ago
the slide technique doesn't contain your heel. slide technique: kick with your toes on the plate near the heel plate, then quickly slide forward and catch the moving pedal to commit another kick. heel toe: move your toes to the very front of your pedal while keeping your heel up. then let your heel fall and right after that, let your toes kick, still heel down. you only need to adjust the speed to get non-shuffled strokes and stuff, takes a little time

How does he play the bass triplets at the end?

i wonder if he relaxes his foot on the bass pedal, or he raised his heels.

mike johnston does NOT use double bass drum pedal. He uses a dw 4000 pedal. His favorite pedal is dw 5000 so he uses that sometimes. The reason his left foot is moving, is because he marks time with his left foot. He uses the skip technique which is like the slide technique but second note is accented. hope I cleared everything up.

I'm playing drums almost two years and do shit like what Mike Johnston is doing and I didn't even realize it was called a technique (Skip Technique)
