Hey everyone id like to say that first of all this is probably a horrible video to help you, try to understand im not a teacher. I have not taken lessons and i have never learned about time signatures and all that so i have a very hard time explaining everything. If need be i will make another video and i will prepare people specific questions and try to help them and also go into better detail with a good planned out explanation! Let me know how i did thank you :)

  • hey dude, could you help me please? i have cobras and i can't get them equal no matter what i do! please help me! do you lube them? if so what do you use to do so and what settings do you use? thanks alot man and nice video (:

  • @Mirozenx To make them equal, push both the beaters against the bass drum head and hold them there. Then let them both go at the exact same time, the beaters should go back and forth together for a couple seconds. If they go together then they are well in balance, but if one beater is moving back and forth faster than the other than that one needs to be adjusted. Hope this helps(:

  • Hey I can play fast, and can play double and triples pretty well, but when i get up to a faster speed I lose foot power. Almost like i cant hit the bass drum as hard as when playing slow, so how can I gain power at higher speeds? Any tips, advice, or practice ideas? And would doing quads slow to fast help get more power out of my roll???

  • @KingQuickscoping Thats completely natural, you cant have the bass drum be as loud as it at normal slow speeds. Thats why all the drummers that can hit 260+ use triggers because the sounds not loud enough without them. So theres nothing wrong, just keep practicing it will become a little louder(:

  • the reason why it feels like the foot board is moving not your ankle is because of the Cobra Coil Tama put in the Iron Cobra's and Speed Cobra's

  • @bondjamesbond12 Yeah that probably plays a huge part in it i enjoy how they feel (:

see all
