so tim, what were your feet doing, was that heel up only or was there swivel in that (couldnt see due to the frame cut) after watching some of your vids (the swivel slow-> fast helped tremendously) ive built up my speed and im trying to get better technique to get me to the 200+bpm range

[TimWaterson]

In this clip Im using the PUMP from y TMA dvd

Happy new Year

Tim

[hellraizr666]

@TimWaterson

[Paintballnation584]

who has an axis pedal on their SPARE kit =P id be lucky to have one on my main kit

[BaptizedInEntrails]

its fast

ill give you that

but no power

[Blacklorigine]

@BaptizedInEntrails I don't thinks it's possible to get power past certain speeds.

[sasjenkyn]

@BaptizedInEntrails he can play with power but he dosent play deathmetal... he uses fast double bass for accents and stuff :)

[SpazAttackDrummer101]

Tim

Tim, you play so fast, but I want to ask you do you have enough power to play on tempos +250bpm and to have enough power to create strong clear sound(if it's possible to create clear sound on +250bpm without triggers)? George Kollias plays, as you already know, very fast, and yes, he uses triggers, but his amplitude of the beater is a way bigger than yours, so his kicks are stronger

[TimWaterson]

Yes GEORGe has the most powerfull feet

If I was playing extreme music of course you build up your speed muscles

at past 260 with a double pedal untriggered I think George and I would be preetty close in volume even George drops in volume at those speeds

why you have a gig for me?

Tim

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

Sorry, my English isn't so good, what do you mean when you say "gig for me"?

[TimWaterson]

I get requests to play in bands and

Most people when they ask specifics about can a volume for playing need to know if i can play their music with power

Tim

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

No, I don't have, I just want to know that, nothing more, because I saw that your amplitude isn't so big, but that doesn't mean that there's not enough power... Thanks for replying. :)

[ACardFan]

Being the silly person I am - Gig (Noun) A job, especially, a booking for musicians.

Dictionaries work wonders when used right!

[proto35]

so relaxed, yet you blast away with your feet at over 9000 bpm haha

[TimWaterson]

Thanks its not really that fast.

Tim

[vicfirthdrummer95]

your bass technique is absolutely amazing to play that fast relaxed boggles my mind haha

[TimWaterson]

The key to playing fast is to relax

PS Im just getting started.

Tim

[iamamaggot666]

unfortunately easier said then done:P lol

[TimWaterson]

Of course you need to learn the techniques and motions of the feet and how to control them

Tim

[undeadxhavock]

nice axis's

[REnaud23]

maybe you should try getting a decent mic (condenser or drum mics) for your cam.... I mean you have a lot of followers and you post a lot of videos.... it would just show you take it a bit seriously. especially in a music video, i can see you going fast but i'd rather hear you, not just some big peeking noise.

[TimWaterson]

Ive been trying to load clips from perproduction with the drums miced so far this pc is problematic for recognizing the files.

Have patience better vids are comming

Tim

[friddlebill1a]

nice! snare sucks but very sweet drumming!

[TimWaterson]

Im NOT trying to play fast Im just trying to play relaxed speed comes with controlling the notes not letting the notes controll you you

NO TENSION

Tim

[lolitsmanuel]

that was awesome tim! you make it look so easy! i seen a video called "bostic-flat foot technique" are you using the same motion?

[TimWaterson]

Im Using the pump I know Bostic he kind of pumps his left foot but uses hip flexors for speed I just control my ankles.

This is a comfortable everyday speed

Tim

[EvilJest3r]

how do you play that fast, i always stuff up if i try fast :(
