i noticed how close ur throne is to ur bass drums. not saying ur too close by all means be comfortable, but wen ur legs r at the angle they r in this vid ur losing power. at high speeds, ur legs from ur thighs to ur shins needs to be at a slight obtuse angle. the throne height seems perfect but ur legs go inward from ur knees as opposed to going outward ever so slightly. just a suggestion. reference from flo mounier, george kollias, and derek roddy. stay metal friend \m/

@Bostonbird733 Thanks for the suggestion dude.....this is an old vid but I am still trying to figure out double bass and harness it...it has taken me longer than most I believe but I haven't given up yet. I'm always trying new setups throne height/spacing, etc.

@LitleDedBunnies

Thanks alot!!!

I actually have a second Defiant kit now that ddrum decided to hook me up with after putting me through some trouble and over a year of waiting for one drum.

I got to choose a custom solid color,..so of course....lime green with black hardware

working on getting some vids up of that kit soon

i give this guy some credit but he messes up alot he needs to work up his legs and use the swivel tech.

[Dameeks16]

Couldn't agree more...thank you

Faggots, he is practicing speed and stamina. Means he doesn't have them but is trying to get there. Of course it's sloppy. The whole point is to push yourself over the limit and develop some brain synapses. Then when you move down a notch in speed, you see a huge improvement at lower BPM values where you used to struggle.

You have no idea what your doing dude! You have no control.

@Bostonbird733 Actually dude, It's perfectly fine if you sit that close. It all depends on throne height, playing style and technique. But essentially, the closer your throne is to your drums, the lower you're gonna need to sit. This works well for heel up technique. i have this style, but look at Shannon Lucas from black dahila murder. He sits low and close and he drills like a mofo.

if you continu shacking your legs like that your not geting enywear with your feets

star Practice at a slower speed. because when you shacke your legs like you do you want get a clean note of the kick drum.

keep Practice so i can see you on stage behind a big fucking drum kit(Y)

Is this Ddrum defiant 6? 

[MetallicMikey]

Practice makes perfect. It's sloppy, but it's practice, stop dissing. Keep going dude. Good luck.

Rumbling noise! ;-) Just try to play something slow and synchronizing especially the feet and hands. And then increase the tempo. Sounds just not as good when the hands are at a different pace than the feet. Use a metronome! Nice kit btw

[KubaNZM91]

Nice kit, the Defiant is sick

Loosen up and relax. Your speed is developing well. I take the shoes off and play barefoot to feel exactly what the pedals are doing. Dribble closer to the floor and shorten the strokes will make you go faster. Use the weight of your leg to keep pressure on those short strokes and compensate for power otherwise lost. Let me know how it works.

[JohnR13456]

For speed, I think that's pretty damn good. I do think you are getting tense though. relax and don't force the pedals!!!!! Other than that, speed seems amazing. Just a tip, Not sure it will work for you or not, but I play barefoot. This way, I can feel what the pedals are doing and it allows me more control and to shorten the strokes by dribbling closer to the floor. Use the weight of your leg to hold down the dribble and that will compensate for lost power.
