Foot Technique Tutorial: Meshuggah - Bleed (the first drum pattern)

[Nepoot]

great video, but the double strokes arent really necessary. i can play Bleed too, but i play it like RLR L RLR L instead of your RRL L RRL L, but both work

[wimawa]

@Nepoot Nope, I play it like you do! The way you say I do it would be so hard, lol.

[NewGamer101]

@wimawa So basically, its just triplets over and over? I learn by ear, and I use heel toe. Please answer? :) Love your video!

[Croven86]

I've never touched a drum set, but I can do this shit on the floor lol

[hiimninja]

@Croven86 Believe it or not Croven, but it is actually harder to play on a kit...

[Krooksbane]

Great foot technique dude

[RyanPullin]

1st goal completed, brain obtained maximum learning capacity, closed window.

[pakstas]

Wow bro! Awesome tutorial. Hay, you have same double pedal as I do. Maybe you can PM me some tips, how to increase performance in playing with double bass? I mean, how to tune bass drum and pedal, to make in comfortable and smooth? :)

[disasterruss]

tutorial? I see you can play it, but teaching? not so much.

[almighty1984]

Good tutorial!

[maddudez]

Foot hertas

[shadowmanx37]

OMG ITS POSSIBLE TO PLAY THAT!

Are you Max Payne or what? U make Slow-Mo but we see as "normal" speed? :D

[Nameless164]

Your hihat pedal is pretty.

[Roflzmahwoflz]

Holy shit that looks hard

[stratocanus]

GREAT VIDEO

[mirussoKentCustom]

good shit man. how was the Bagel?

[jairrrrrr]

played unclean

[facepalm486]

*tips hat* nice video, good sir. You reminded me of Ryan Reynolds there at the end. I'm pretty sure you'll get more bitches with that rhythm though.

[theToiletsOfTheEast]

must feel so bad ass to be able to do that double foot pedal pattern

[Metalfarupyourass]

The "I want a bagel" at the end was so fucking random. But great tutorial! :D

[magikarpp]

thanks for the help brah

[Marauder623]

i found that the pattern is R R L R R R L R

(right, right left right,)

[terkmadugga]

How was the bagel?

[Psycho888999]

Thanks bro! I've been trying to get this stupid pattern for months......

[masterhandsimpson]

move to Colorado and be our drummer.

[AznDrummer89]

Awesome little tutorial dude! Before I really get into it..do you start off with the left foot right before the right-footed double bursts?

[wimawa]

@AznDrummer89 I usually do not. It's not too important though, but sometimes it helps people to get it down. I think that if the song calls for it, than go for it!

[serialslammer]

can u do this slide technique heel up?

[wimawa]

@serialslammer Technically, I do. It's just hard to see that my heel isn't touching the pedal board.

[Glath513]

I believe that direct drive pedal is more appropriate for playing songs like Bleed. I have the same pearl pedals, happy with them, but many tryouts have been creating only more and more mistakes for me for the whole time.

[sebbimon]

This is probably one of the hardest song on drums, of all time.. i can play 16ths notes on 220/230bpm but this is damn difficult. Calves burn extremly much, even if i warm up playing death metal.

[BenBensen]

nice schoes dude ;)

[battoflitsa123]

great job dude!!!!!! keep working hard ;)

[bennihoe]

Your voice reminds me of Seth Rogen

[TheFunkyMetal]

thanks alot for the vid Im actually getting the hang of it. i was at nothing before this video

[pppggggg]

its not totally in 4/4

its a 9/8 and 4/4 poly rhythm

9/8 on the bass

4/4 with the cymbal and snare

[Oli4drums]

@pppggggg Or it's 3 bars of 4/4, where each bar is a different pattern. Most people would like to keep things simple, especially when just playing the bass pattern is a huge effort.

[pppggggg]

@Oli4drums yea you can count it what ever way makes it easier for the individual playing it

i always counted it as a poly rhythm i thought it was easier to think of two individual patterns

played at once but then again i have adhd lol

[DirtyPoopers]

damn that looks hard, you desrve a bagel bro

[SYLperc]

[confu5edfella]

Damn you make it look so easy!!

[richard833]

[ottawadrummer]

Ma-shoe-gah

[TB1DarkLight]

2:11 The Cymbal Was Off-Beat Man

[SyqLAWL]

@TB1DarkLight no it wasn't? lol

[tweezer76]

nice video, but you really couldn't have chosen a more inconvenient and blinded camera angle. 

[allan1064]

Thanks dude...ñ_ñ

This will go to my favorite.

[cahslundglass]

Nice hihat stand.

[DanielLikesToast]

You make it look so simple/easy. my word!

[pavlliat]

how to do the technique with the right foot ?

[wootzone]

I totally want a bagel now

[wimawa]

@GuitarFulvio1 Thank you very much! :)

[moket123]

you make it look so easy

[wimawa]

@moket123 Thanks :)

[brandokilla1]

ahh playing bleed in some half cabs that must feell really good

[wimawa]

@brandokilla1 You bet!

[trokeification]

It's a polyrhythym. The feet are playing a different time signature than the hands, meaning the 1 from the hands doesn't always land on the 1 from the kick. Another thing that may help is that one foot is going straight forward, and always playing. The other foot goes in bursts, kind of like a heartbeat. That's what makes the bursts of 3. Hope that helped someone. :P

[wimawa]

@trokeification That's a fantastic explanation!

[BlendingStyles]

ok, wut? you want a baby? A bagel? A unicorn?

[wimawa]

@BlendingStyles bagel! x)

[BlendingStyles]

D: oh my god.. how do you drummers even do this stuff? like, the guitar part isnt that hard.. but, the drums.. wow.

[wimawa]

@BlendingStyles I think my sense of rhythm comes from me playing DDR since I was in 6th grade (I just finished my first year of college). Yes, I'm that nerdy.

[BlendingStyles]

@wimawa hahah awesome! and they say games are bad for ya. ;p

[XxSasukeSharingaenxX]

i dont need to see this! i have already mastred this for a half year ago!! pownd

[wimawa]

@XxSasukeSharingaenxX You pwned yourself, because it says "Foot Technique Tutorial" in the title and you still clicked on it. HAHAHAHA. win.

[XxSasukeSharingaenxX]

@wimawa oki, i may be a little silly sometimes about covers ore technique! your right that i powned myself! :P

[wimawa]

@XxSasukeSharingaenxX It's all good. No hard feelings!

[Xxscar2dCorexX]

Okay. Thanks man...



[Xxscar2dCorexX]

How long is it gonna take to learn this? Will it be better in a longboard??

[wimawa]

@Xxscar2dCorexX When I started learning this, I had already learned how to do the foot-scoot maneuver. Long boards might help, but I'm not sure. I never had the need for one.

[gustrees22]

Probably the best Bleed foot technique tutorial on Youtube at the moment. Nice work man

[wimawa]

@gustrees22 Thank you!

[Villex93]

Nice, do you practice your left leg too? I learned that double burst well in about a month(+ year of playing RockBand before :D) but now after one year my left leg is still in stage 1, it can't do a fast double or even near it.

[wimawa]

@Villex93 There was actually a long period of time where I was paranoid about my left leg lagging behind, so I used it a whole lot more than is necessary. I must say, it was very beneficial!

[Villex93]

@wimawa Ok thanks!

[Ragnarockalypse]

Good tutorial.

[wimawa]

@Ragnarockalypse Thanks!

[Jaco979]

I also want a bagle. btw nice half cabs

[wimawa]

@Jaco979 Thanks, I love them.

[thesilentcircus789]

The pattern is called a Herta. 2 32nd notes followed by 2 16th notes.

[wimawa]

@thesilentcircus789 Good to know! Thanks so much.

[paperpro3223]

@thesilentcircus789 He doesnt care

[Jullix993]

It's RLR-L?

[wimawa]

@Jullix993 Yessir! That is how I do it, seeing as I scoot my right foot the best.

[crazyfalconX]

I don't play drums and I'm not even into this song but your explanation was very good and so is your drumming. Keep it up.

[wimawa]

@crazyfalconX Thanks! I appreciate that, haha.

[lizardsobek]

Good explanation man. Gonna give this shot with some triggers through a p.a. tomorrow. Thanks for the breakdown.

[wimawa]

@lizardsobek Thanks! I decided that since everyone else that makes a video about this song doesn't own drums, I would contribute. lol.

[lotsaEntertainment]

awesome man you got crazy fast feet also sidepoint i like your shoes :D
