Swivel technique

[TommyOwnzU]

what happened to bass drum two?

[NTH96795]

your bass drum sounds like crap

[kolliasmalmsteenown]

Good luck dude as I heard to be able to put your 2 feet together is the hardest part of the swivel technique a friend of mine has been working on that for a while now ( it s still not correct ).

[jordanjcm]

nice camera fast motion trickery. Even with that, it super sloppy.

[bobwhang]

@jordanjcm oh ya...this is like 225-230ish? I totally sped it up bra

[mikeportnoy2000]

amigo muy bonito, pero le gustaría ver que tocar esto en una

Común pedal con el talón, el eje pedalier hasta 6 años de mi sobrino jugar como tú

[mikeportnoy2000]

this guy is well over the pedal axis much influence, I see you do

this in another pedal with heel support

[bobwhang]

@mikeportnoy2000 lol...wat?

[MXmat52]

.....Holy Shit -.-

you should do a cover of Albright :)

[Deathmest]

axis pedals

[Braskasfinalaeon37]

Will this technique work on a PDP double bass pedal?

[Jleedrummermetal]

just alittle. ive been working with my pdp pedals for a while. i hate them. lol but yes. im going to upgrade to 2 sing pearl eliminators then maybe axis later down the road.

[thisisformusiconly]

@Jleedrummermetal Lol have those same PDPs, they are basically shit. I have them loose as hell yet they feel like mud. Just upgrade straight to Axis, why spend money on two pedals?

[Jleedrummermetal]

@thisisformusiconly lol yeah i hate the hell outta those PDPs

but i just bout 2 pearl pedals. alot better. not a higher end pearl. i have two bass drums and i like the sound of 2. its more powerful. lol i plan on getting axis soon btw once i take care of some other crap.lol

[thisisformusiconly]

@Jleedrummermetal Yeah i figured you bought them, concidering your comment was nearly a year ago. yeah dude, those pdps are basically mud, not fun what so ever to play. And do you know why people hate Axis so much, because i really dont?

[Jleedrummermetal]

@thisisformusiconly lol yeah. They are alot better then what i had before. i can hit 220-230ish comfortably now. You know i never got why people hate Axis. I always hear that they either have not so much power or they break easy. but others say they last long and have lots of power. so i guess its just something each drummer has to find out on there own.

[thisisformusiconly]

@Jleedrummermetal yeah, but i dont want to find out, i want to know, because the only music shop i have around here is Guitar Center and they do not have Axis on them. . . sad. The other problem, money. I just cant spend that much(i have the money but my parents would kill me). I was thinking about Gibraltar direct drives but i have to test those out.

[mtabet02]

it's called sarcasm prick...i'm simply poking fun at those who want to bad mouth this video just because they can't pull this technique off themselfs

[celestialvoyager82]

thats mad!

[MetalDrummer420]

i hope everyone out there understands,the swivel technique doesnt make u faster or anything,its just an involuntary movement. the only thing that'll make u faster is PRACTICE!!

[mateoarv]

but it sure helps

[ironmaidenno1]

well it improves the power of the beat but yes i agree with you on the speed. it has no significance to that.

[thekillingspeed]

Thank you Finally someone who isnt all obsesed with technique. This just happens when you go fast. its NOT a technique that makes you better. Its just getting good through practice. there are no cheats so quit looking for one. this guy (metaldrummer420) has got the right idea

[snofthndr]

but what do you practice hmmm maybe technique

[drummberboy928]

it"s okay, i"ve seen other videos were they said it look them about a year to do them both together.

my bass sounds like a gunshot too.

[WiredDrummer]

OMG! I need to learn this

[Defloc]

kick drum sounds like paper

[zonfar]

im fairly certain paper doesnt sound like that, I could be wrong

[mateoarv]

lol true

[LSPbaa]

I tried this with Tama HP200 double pedals and it actually worked pretty well. I just have to practice it little bit.

[drummberboy928]

Heal Toe?

[BoronganBata]

It's swivel LoL

[bigbobross]

lawl

[UKrocketeer]

btw it is spelled heel, heal is for an injury to get better

[maniacablator]

great=D

[thenumba1boss]

your bass drum sounds like a gun shot. good job though.

[Victurian]

I think that the springs are too tighten, maybe, you need less tension.

[guitarpwner67]

i mean for ppl who dont have time time to learn instruments or just dont have musical ability

[XDarkStrikerX]

other things to do... when you have other things to do, you dont play video game right ?

[guitarpwner67]

rock bands not for faggots, its for ppl who dont have time to learn an instrument because they have other things to do. dont judge people, its not nice

[LegacyWShadow]

Rock band is, actually, a game. One of those things you play for fun, when you're not doing other things.

[IAMTHEDUMPTRUCK]

i agree

[hawkcwg]

They say that this is supposed to be bad for your knees.

[DissYraiN]

not if you relax.

and besides, they say drumming is bad for your wrists (but only if you do traditional grip.)

[hawkcwg]

its about your knees, thats what George Kolias said.

[DissYraiN]

where did he say it?

[hawkcwg]

my drum teacher told me.

[Poowis]

Yea i do traditional grip and my wrists get pretty painful sometimes, seems to happen more often when i 'practise' on the ol' air drums...

[DissYraiN]

oh yeah. air drumming=bad. it puts a lot of train on the wrong tendons. get a practice pad.

[Poowis]

I got 'rock band' drums, will they be a better option? :P

[DissYraiN]

sorry, did you just say "cock band?"

don't dare speak that blasphemy around me.

[Poowis]

oh, your one of those haters?

Its just a bit of fun, whats the problem?

[DissYraiN]

your time is better spent playing the real drums. What do you think is going to get you more pussy down that road? the fact that you are an amazing drummer, or that you used to be good at a fake drumming video game?

[Poowis]

You don't play games like that so you get pussy?

Not being a complete bellend will get you much further.

I play real drums, otherwise i wouldnt be finding videos on double bass techniques...

[DissYraiN]

What I was trying to say (with a little sarcasm) is that why put any time into fake drums when the real thing is in the next room? 20 years from now when no one will really even remember "rock band." That seems like a waste of good practice time.

basically I don't see the point of a simulation when you already do the real thing.

[Poowis]

Because its not exactly fake drums, I see it as a game that is fun to play with friends, and its different to all these games where all you need is a game controller or keypad. Its just harmless fun. I wouldnt say i replace my practise time with rock band, that is stupid- what i was trying to get at is instead of using a pracise pad, just use the drums for that, when the game isnt playing :P just not everyone appreciates drums being heard a few houses down every day.

Wow, short essay... soz

[IAMTHEDUMPTRUCK]

lol rock band is for faggots

[Poowis]

Its just a game, its just for fun, not for people who pretend to drum. If you use it as a substitute then yes, it would make you a faggot. But its just fun with friends... for the lolz

[Awkrin]

Rock Band is what got me into drumming.. It permitted me to learn quite a bit before I had the money to be able to buy my real drums.

[jondrumming]

amen to that

[dragonboy269]

Watch this video:

"krimh thorns of ivy drums new song"

He shows close-ups of his technique when he's recording the song, and it would probably help with your technique

[eboneaser]

dude im trying to learn it myself. not as easy as people think. i'm also working on heal toe. it seems a little easier.

[shumped]

lol, heel-toe is not easier. to get that technique right without hitting to fast or to slow is really hard, while this is just about getting used to swiveling while you play.

[daddydapunker]

AAAAWESOOOOOMEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thrivesweden]

uh that was not fast. You don't really need any technique to play that slow and it looks like you don't get the seccond stroke on your swivels, but nice try!

[bfmvmel]

thts crazzy dude!!

[123adrianman123]

looks fake when he moves his foot of the pedal it looks as if it sped up could be wrong though

[TheMLGGuess]

if sped up listen to the snare and cymbals he is hitting

[DissYraiN]

nice. need a bit of work cleaning up the swivel, though. I mainly use the swivel when I play, and I find that I swivel more with my left foot when playing live, mostly to keep a beat. make sure you aren't tring to make your foot do a downward motion. the swiveling makes a downward motion naturally, so just focus on moving your heels side to side and the beats will start to come naturally.

[666111]

u r saying that mainly u only have to n¿move the foots ti the sides, cus the oushing down on the pedal will come up by itself?????

that s cool

[DissYraiN]

yeah, increase the pedal spring tension and just slightly tension you calves (have your heels up,) and rock your whole lower leg side to side. it takes quite a while to get the feel down, so don't get discouraged if you don't get it right away. I can play 16ths at about 215 bpm for about 5 minutes when i do this. To go faster, I lower my heel a bit, and swivel from the ball of my foot instead of the toes (think of a small gear turning a big one. less power but more speed.)

[666111]

thank you very much!

[RamatusOliveira]

Hoooo. That's Great!!!!

[geferman89]

W O W man!

really awesome

[WERTGHERTYUKJ]

TIGHT TIGHT NICE BEAT LUV IT

[Devilsnake6]

i saw that with my own eyes! ;O

[calebzia]

very nice one foot blasts! and yes you do need to work on the swivel, but yer better than me, i can do it real well with my right but my left foot is retarded it's not easy!! keep working, you got real good timing

[level27xrock]

dude that's bad ass

[drumming08]

O SHIT!!! thats mad!

[ho3720]

wow .. you're amazing!

[misfiteco1]

that´s awesome i used to play doble bass of the same way as you do is really comfortable good job dude

[FDUbassist]

lol ur going faster than some people go on double bass with 1 foot man...nice job!

[abandonedwell666]

that's great =)

[TemotahDrummer]

swivel doesnt have to be on both feet, look at George Kollias(swivel with the left), same with Tim Yeung. even I use swivel on the left, but not on the right.. usually it's played with the weakest foot, in my case my left.

[ghostodoom]

Fricken awsome

[midgetklown]

sick shit....looks like your time lapse video cus your feet are movin so god damn fast.

[guywiththebass]

nice

[WAX1002]

good stuff man ....

[xialong123]

02webdan those are axis double i believe long board

[02webdan]

what pedal do u have i cant really see

is it an iron cobra

if so any tips on setting it up for speed my settings are fucked and im having trouble getting speed outta them

[jk8286]

Muscle memory pure and simple. What I have learned is that if you can play on one pedal, you can play on any pedal. It's a matter of teaching your muscles to work the way you want them to. The spring settings are for preference plain and simple.

[Sol2u]

You've really got it! Thanks for sharing it with me. Of course I can't get enough of a good thing. You always leave me wanting more. I can take whatever you dish out. So keep the thump going.

Sol2u

[Exhume2Consume]

preety good video dude!

[machanderd]

Yes, swivel is used above 200 bpm for both feet...and it works.  Watch George Kollias at 260+.

[haziqn]

hi nice playing but i dont get it, why and when would you use the "swivel technique". isnt it easier just to, like play "normally". lol im no drummer so i dunno

[fistpittingnork]

You can get quicker, tighter movement using the swivel technique. Try doing traditional bass pedal movement and then compare it to the control you have using swivel.  It may not work for everyone, but works for me for this reason.

[haziqn]

okie thanks :D again nice playing

[noobieeeee]

gosh! nice!

[Azen666]

Nice! I'll try it? but what's the idea? Just moving your feet from left to right? Isn't it harder to control one movement more?

[bobwhang]

You move your heel left and right, kinda like you're putting out a cigarette. Give it a try, should feel pretty natural.

[Azen666]

Ok, Thax)))

[muffnibbler666]

you dont swivvel when you use both feet, it looks normal............... why is everyone good at double bass but me >< ughh i envy you

[bobwhang]

Sometimes I swivel one foot while using both. It's not something I've really worked on much though.

[alexjoeyjordison]

absolutely awesome...ur kit sounds ace.

very good feet coordination

20/10 :P
