@jhonKH23 lol! i got a bit creative ;)

[alexmarques101]

It sounds like double pedal to me. How do you do that with a single pedal?

[killemo213]

heel up or heel down?

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@killemo213 up

[afxmnstr]

awesome ... just like with michael jordan, its the shoes =]

naw... nice technique dude. 

[Olzzu]

Good stuff man!

[D4RkKrusader]

What kind of pedal do you use?

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@D4RkKrusader i use a dw 5000 man,...thinking of getting an axis pedal as my feet are size 14-15 uk

[D4RkKrusader]

@punkrockdrummer1990 A friend of mine has the dw 3000, I think...very nice pedal to play on. But I know what you mean. It seems a bit small if you have larger feet.

[RussellsParadox]

I think the "secret" is your beaters are pretty close to the head when you're not playing, but you start the motion with the beater resting on the head, let the beater fly off and past the "neutral" point, at which point the spring helps with the beginning of the down-stroke.

amirite?

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@RussellsParadox ,...hmmm uno i really cant explain it all i know is how it feels,..an now the beater dosnt have to be close to the head at all,...right now its set back really far sometimes it hit my foot as it comes back, the pedal can be as any setting really, you just have to build that strength and power up, then almost anything you play on it feels natural

nice footwork!!!!!!!

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@Hammerfoot72 cheers man :)

[motodrummer]

Very nice, wish i was half that fast. Any chance you can slow it down and show me what your doing exactly.. What patterns did you practice to get to this point?

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@motodrummer thanks dude, and yer i realy should get round to doing a single pedal speed and control lesson, slow to fast, keep and eye out for it man

[GrooveDrummin]

Very good technique, you have some good speed going on there.

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@GrooveDrummin thankyou man :)

[Natataek]

[punkrockdrummer1990]

@Natataek haha nah your technique uses the heels dude looks awesome, i just play singles with the ball of my foot

[Natataek]

@punkrockdrummer1990 oh cool - interesting to see you can achieve some quadruplets etc in that way too!
