"Can't do it with my left leg", but no biggie.

I'm self taught and have been doing this for a couple years now. I didn't really know of another way to do it. I have been able to achieve lots of power too. The only problem is that I go to fast! Like I naturally go at 190 bpm or so doing this, and when I practice with a metronome, I work on slooowwwinggg it down. It's difficult.

it works better when your pedals are closer. it'd sound better if you find the sweet spot and can keep your momentum.

it doesn't work as well if you move/ adjust the foot pedal/ chair.

but it works well if your looking to do crazy fast things for long periods of time.

@nightfoxteam

this is accually a better way because its using momentum

there is no "right" way, but to be honest, i get faster when i play like this.

i perfer this when i play long parts that have to be faster, but its harder to switch up from maybe long "RLRLRLR---" to triplets, or w/e.

the more traditional versions (heel down/ flat foot, etc) are good for playing with more control, obviously you have less control this way because you have to find the sweet spot.

im self taught so idk.

Yeah at first I thought this would work and for a while I did it but once I started actually listening to the bass drum I noticed how sloppy it was and it totally screwed over my heel up double bass now and I need to completely re teach myself so I wouldn't recommend this.

I'm sure a lot of people have commented on this, without actually getting behind a kit and trying it out. It's actually a really effective method, using your legs' natural jerk reaction to actually achieve fast, precise strokes. The power is still there, it just needs to be practiced so your leg's muscle memory becomes accustomed to it. This is how I learned to strengthen my legs for more demanding double-bass music, like death metal. Try it without bashing it first. It just might work.

nice set!

It's fast, but there's no power. Would only really work with triggers.
