been prsctising my ass off with single strokes for 2 years , yet i cant play any faster for longer perios of time than 180 bpm.. its driving me insane ! as if my feet just dont improve ! is hel toe really easier for fast stuff ? im desperate.... need a solution to be able to play at speeds of about 200 bpm...
@Laurenan69 Hi Laurenan! Sorry I wasn't too quick on the reply! I know exactly your trouble! I couldn't play over 160bpm 'till I started heel-toe. I can play about 180 now in single strokes, but anything faster I have to use doubles with heel-toe! I couldn't recommend it highly enough, it makes double kick parts so much easier and use less energy. I could do a short tutorial video on how I learned it and exercises I did to get it more powerful/consistent if that'd be useful?
Its been up about a year. Just search my name if you want to see it. I think it has speed drummer solo on it. Lol. I didn't upload it so I don't know. Haha
Nice one! I don't know many specific exercises to be honest, I just built it up very slowly, increasing a few BPM after I could play a certain tempo cleanly :)

Sounds good... there's an even amount of force between heel and toe.

I tried looking, but I couldn't see it, is it uploading right now? Sometimes it takes a while for it to come up on searches :)
I'll keep checking :)

Good job dude! I play heel toe myself, so I know how difficult it is to get clean.

Thankyou :D
Yeah - it's tricky!

Could you please suggest some exercises for me to do? I recently started doing heel toe, I can do it at about 180BPM pretty cleanly.

Hey - sorry I didn't reply very quick :( I have a Mapex M-Birch drum kit, and I use Tama Iron Cobras, they're the chrome powerglide versions :)

That's really great man. I'm working at double bass but I dont have a pedal. I can probobly do that fast but not heel-toe.
