This is a video response to Mike Johnston Double Bass with one Foot video:

I know still very, very sloppy but I think I got the coordination down. (really hard for me, I'm a bass player, not a drummer).
I just learned it today (01/23/10) so come back to see my progress, thanks for watching!

Hey Leon, this took me a long time to get the hang of, and I couldn't just do it after watching the video. Honestly, I had to take a lessons for awhile and have someone teach me good technique, before I really got it down. I think it sounds good, especially if you did this the same day you saw the video, and I bet it sounds even better now. Keep up the good work, man. Bass and drums have got to be the two most fun instruments ever!

@YoungInfrared Good job Young! congratulations! Mike Johnston makes this "looks" so easy, im sure many other talented people can just pick it up right after watching the video, but only to get to this point it took me a LOT of hours.

keep up the good work man!

thanks for watching

[drumanddrummer465]

I thought I was going to see double bass with one foot and all I got was a faggot jerking off onto a child's drumkit.

[cameronappleyard1997]

how tiny is your kit o.O

[muso123456]

congratulations, you can alternate between hitting your floor tom and bass drum.

moreover, your floor tom is too small to come even close in pitch to the bass drum to replicate the sound of one bass drum...

[veku1992]
