Just as a clarification for all you guys watching this video :

The verse of The Diary Of Jane was always played with one foot, as is stated in this video.

However, at the time this video was released, Chad was still playing the bridge with a double pedal. You can see that he is playing double bass if you look carefully at his left foot from 4:02 - 4:06.

But with his chops, he's probably started playing it with one foot.

Sorry about any confusion!

@drummergod522 He is not playing doble bass. He is hitting the hi-hat pedal, you can see he is doing it before playing again the bridge! Sorry for my english I´m from Argentina :D ajaj

@aguzz132 Please watch Chad Szeliga drum lesson #4 part 3. He clearly says that he plays the bridge with double bass, but that he is working on playing it with one foot. He even demonstrates that he can almost play the bridge with one foot but that he hadn't perfected it at the time. Again, by now, he probably has it perfected, but, as I said before, when he recorded lesson #1, he was still playing the bridge with double bass. Chad is one of my fav drummers, but I'm just stating facts.

Na. You Don't Need Heel-Toe For That. Just Get A Bounce, Its All Toe. Practice.

@lollipopman70 yeah its supposed to be but once u get up there and catch up to his speed u would want to roll those doubles in the middle of the rudiment. its sick once u get it up to speed

[lollipopman70]

[shitty3344]

hes so awesome, dying for a new song from them !

[drummergod522]

@superdale Well if you had looked up Chad Szeliga drum lesson #4 pt. 3 like I said, you would see that he does in fact use a double pedal for the bridge part. Even in this video, he only specifies that he uses a single pedal for the verse.

Still, I'm not taking anything away from Chad, he is a very talented drummer, and one of the fastest single bass players out there.

@drummergod522 LOL! Thats funny because in this video he specifically states he uses a single pedal., not a double pedal.

@drumcovers15 He always used the heel toe method or slide method to create fast hits on the bass drum.
