cool mod but it makes you look like a wimp cause you have to use long boards for the heel toe it works just as well in any shoe and on any pedal

[chrisfairbanks]

@DSDrummer15 I give you props if you can do it in shoes at all. I have to have them off. True, it can be done on any pedal. But the true "heel on pedal" method can put the chain in between you toes if you have large feet.

not bad for a home made longboard.... but i despise tama.... AXIS!!!!!!!!

[chrisfairbanks]

@severedties24 i didn't like the tiny hard to reach wing nuts and all the different size allen wrenches. i think i could have put up with it if not for the $600 pricetag, though.

that was sick. Im afraid to mod my pedal though....

[MRmesmetin]

amazing!

[brainchomper13]

Well i thought it was awesome!!!

[shreddmasterj]

lol.... had to mod to play heel/toe better. Pathetic. I use Heel/toe on short boards with basketball shoes on. If you can do it properly, you can do it in any scenario. You're only cheating yourself. The way you re-positioned your foot :48 is the way to do it on short boards, bouncing your heel off the floor or butt of the pedal. Not hard at all.

@DaFuckinSchwartz ... Cool statement, any other condesendingly useless information you'd like to share on this informational video Schwartz?

[jordanjcm]

people you do not need long boards. It should not be called "heel toe". That is what confuses people. It should be called "ball of foot and toe" technique. too many people feel you need to slam your heel and then your toe. There are many "proper" videos on you tube that will show you how to do it without a long footboard. Even with big feet. I used to think the same thing. Now I can play heel toe on any pedal. I am not trying to sound like a "know it all". Check it out.

@chrisfairbanks it came easy for me but i have been playing drums for 10 years and i also play in converse pro drumming hi tops special ordered for me i suggest removing the mod until you build up the ability to play in shoes also try a rolling your feet whilst walking making sure to lift your toes as high as you can to build muscle for speed and control but keep practicing and you'll get better
