Swivel foot technique explained up close by Tim Waterson

[xxxPinkyGSterxxx]

I bet the people underneath your room just LOOOVED you XP

[sticksbass]

i cant find those pics on you fb

[sticksbass]

i dont see how the '21 angle' is any improvement.

[TimWaterson]

@sticksbass

Ill do a side by side comparison and you;ll see

[sticksbass]

@TimWaterson thatll be interesting! the 21 board itself looks preferable but id like to see side by side comparison for size differences. is the white 21 logo a smooth even finish w the board? i wonder if the board is interchangable w the old model pedal frame?

[TimWaterson]

@sticksbass

theres pictures on my facebook page

Yes smooth finish,and yes the lazer footboard can be used as an upgrade for original A series

[sticksbass]

@TimWaterson ok, ill see on fb. what are they charging for just the boards? i wonder why derrick roddy prefers the old style?

[sticksbass]

@TimWaterson are they maybe a 1/2 " longer?

[MrGgyytw]

is it has a sequence (in in out out or out out in in which is better)?

[TimWaterson]

@MrGgyytw

Whatever works for you

[batako0o]

Hey tim! does the beater distance ONLY helps with control and power?

Or it helps With speed too ?

[luisluvsblastbeats54]

i have heard that swivel will jack up your knees after years of use is this true

[TimWaterson]

@luisluvsblastbeats54

Ive never had a problem but i dont play tense I just control my ankles and legs NO TENSION....

Tim

[conterooski]

hey tim, how much do the A 21s usually go for?

[overcontrol]

this pedal is soft really?

[TimWaterson]

@overcontrol

No the Bed is soft LOL

[Fuck1nMetal]

@TimWaterson Thanks a lot for explain tim.

[XsitogrinderX]

whats the difference between this pedal and a regular axis longboard??

[thebeasel]

Great video tim! I have been working on this technique for a while. I can get the right foot but doing both seems tricky? Oh well more practice

[raymondkandal]

It seems like a good pedal, but really noisy is it really the pedal to go with?

[TimWaterson]

@raymondkandal

The A 21 LAZER is the best pedal Ive ver tried PERIOD...

Its noisy because it bouncing against the bed .

Tim

[cruisemissilesrock]

thankyou very much for clearing this up

[SuperDieformetal]

How far do you keep your beaters from the drumhead? :)

[carcassgrindcorpsesc]

why does your bed sound better than a lot of recording bassdrums?i heard shows with worst sound than this

[gruntersdad]

and the people downstairs are calling the front desk.

[dannyboi9891]

is your bed triggered?

[FaithIsAccidental]

@dannyboi9891 XD sounds like it is lol.

[Siggedrummer]

@dannyboi9891 What you can here is possibly the e-kit hammer hitting the trigger. Which gives a little clicky sound :)

[DrMorbid]

Wow, your bed sound great! :)

[zmanbrody]

Trying to learn to swivel is a waste of time. try to relax your ankle...thats how i swivel.

[BrendanJonesDrums]

2...3..... 4 even!!!! class man! Good to see the vids again.

[Scar626]

Freakin awsome stuff man. Just a question I have about when your playing:

How much energy do you put into swivel?

I mean watching you play the part at 3:13 it doesn't look like you using energy at all, but do you use alot of energy or even sweat at all?

If not, then my way of playing swivel suck. I sure as hell can't go on a hot day, when I'm lazy, sit behind the kit and play double bass.

[RapiDEraZeR]

your hotel neighbours don´t hate you?

[kaihtheloner]

And um... How can you get your feet to like alternate left and right while using this technique??

I get confused.. loolz.. I guess, I gotta practise some more.. Btw, I'm using Iron Cobra Pedals, are they any good? Could you suggest any other pedals I could use??

[kaihtheloner]

Um Tim, pardon me, but if you don't mind can you tell me whats the difference between this technique and the futz pedal that you showed in your DVD??? Just curious :-P

[stover81291]

so anyone trying to develop this technique should definitely work on some heel down for a while? i cant seem to get my left to adapt to this technique and accept the rebound, so i was thinking some heel down isolation exercises with my left foot might clear that up for me. Ive never really played heel down in my 3 years of drumming accept when i first started. im hoping some heel down and more practice will make things easier for me. Thanks for the vid explanation Tim, i appreciate it.

[fpsbcheezit]

Man, those bed sheets sound great, mind telling me where you purchased them?

[buttersworth13]

I cant wait to get these pedals on friday!

[1234fivesixseven8]

what beaters are these? are they danmar?

[marralis]

@1234fivesixseven8 there just axis beaters

[KingDodongo200]
