Part 2 will focus on double stroke techniques, "standard" & heel-toe, as well as triple stroke techniques. Check out Part 1 where the focus will be on various single stroke techniques such as heel up, heel down, heel-toe, rebounding off the head and burying the beater into the head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LQoVrPxkNk Thanks for watching!

  • Thanks so much!

    I prefer the spring tension to be low to medium. For me, it makes it easier to achieve a wide range of dynamics. I have it just tight enough that the weight of my foot in a resting position doesn't allow the beater to rest on the head. I would suggest to experiment. You might find that having the spring tighter works better for you.

  • thanks. it's hard to find these techniques explained properly!

  • these are great exercises. thanks a lot

  • These two videos have answered Akita of my questions. Your awesome man!!!!!

  • @ghilliegoon oh yeah my spring tension is almost non existent i like my pedal sloppy and loose like a truck stop lot lizard

  • love it. this is the first video i have seen that resembles the triplets I do on a single pedal, the only difference is I curl my toes a little to stiffen my foot so my toes have no give to them. When i explain it to people i say its like dribbling a basketball an inch off the ground, your tapping the pedal with your toe after the first stroke using the rebound to bring it back

  • You cannot play triplets at the same dynamic with that technique.

    Notice that the first beat is always louder that way.

    Are you sure isn't there any other way ?

  • Great Video!

    I think, this is the most completest summary about foot technique.

    Helped me a lot.

    But how did you learn, to play faster Tempos (about 190 to 200 bpm) ?

  • ALAN THE BEST !!!!

  • These are the best lessons on feet I have seen on Youtube. 

  • so fast...so even... :) Essential technique for those NOFX type punk beats
