  • What is your key thought in mind when you start to speed it up.I have been stuck at the same speed for a month now.I am about 75% as fast as when you go all out on the exercise.Thanks for the lesson and thanks for time.

  • Try maintain even spacing between the hands and feet. As the speed increses I tend to focus on the movement of the right hand between the snare and floor. 123-123-12

  • sweet shit

    all your vid ROCK

    What kit is that???

  • Thanks - Taye Tour Pro

  • wow! thanx man! does it matter how the pattern goes because i go kick, right, left when i do it. or at least thats what i was taught. lol. oh btw is that a ludwig fab four drum set?

  • The pattern will work in any combination of the three limbs. then it becomes a matter of how you resolve the fill. Its actually a taye kit, tour pro

  • bonham never used double bass, but with one foot he could almost catch same effect and speed, it was a fucking fast right foot.

  • you have great control

  • Actually, Bonham's triplet style always went left hand first.. As with most British drummers...

  • convincing!

  • do you have a double bass?

  • @dymonddave8 doesnt hit the bass twice. pretty sure it just sounds that way because this simple, yet awsome beat played fast tends to just sound like that

  • Haha there are some drummers on Youtube that can't explain as half as good as you but WITH words :D

  • thats very cool and simple! I will do it! Thanks for uploading!

  • mike portnoy does a lot of this with double bass, i find

    right left foot foot

    it's neat.

  • Hahaha. If you added another bass pedal and made it 4 beats instead of one, That would be the beginning of "Over the Mountain" by Ozzy.

    That's by no means a new concept. Bonham did that and many other variations of the same triplet, even going as far as hitting the bass twice and adding an extra beat with one of his hands around the kit making 5 beats.

  • right left foot right left foot......very fast though.....any pattern of 3 over and over

  • are you hiting bass twice
