Total Control Drum Tuition: Metal - Double Bass Drum Ex. 1

www.totalcontroldrumtuition.com

An entry level drum beat using a double bass drum pedal.

This exercise shows me playing a heavy backbeat on the snare on beat 3 and keeping time with my right hand.

The double bass drum element plays 16th notes all the way through a bar. By playing this exercise slowly, you will notice that with every strike I play with my time keeping hand, 2 bass drum beats are played.

Speeding up the exercise is a good way to improve endurance and stamina on the drum kit.

WOW I CAN DO THIS with 1 hand tied behind my back

[louistotalcontrol]

@AjaxpuffNstuff well...seeing as this video concentrates on your feet, that would be very easy!

Umm, without a pillow, the bassdrum will be very resonant. And that just sounds like shit.

What ride is it??

[FUZZEYHIPPO]

@Oriasis not necessarily. A lot of base drums do sound like shit. all you need is a nice resonant head. I perfer Evans Onyx head over anything and an Emad beater side. I dont have a pillow in my drum and it sounds nice. But for recording, not so much haha
