In less than 10 minutes you have explained the logic of many different techniques, and very clearly that is. It's rare to find information so well put, especially on bass drum techniques which are hard to explain ! Thanks so much!
Back the truck up! I'm a beginner drummer and I just started working on a quick 1/16 double kick. I've been working on it for over a day. I could do it but my timing would get all messed up. I just tried the heel toe and I literally got it right away! It's almost like the 2 separate motions with my foot help me separate the notes. I'm sooo pumped now! Thank you man!
I have been searching the internet for videos like this but nothing really helped you definitely put it more into perspective for me and explained it better on how to do the different forms of slides. So thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this lesson, at 60 years of age I have just started playing drums for fun, being a singer guitarist for most of my life, I needed a new challenge and your help is very welcome, you deserve more subscribers.
I have to confess, I have tried, but not very hard mind you, I cannot read a note of music. Is there an easy way for you to teach a person like myself to read and play music, say, "drumming for dummies", what do you say?
Honestly by far the best video I've seen on how to play your bass drum. When I practice tomorrow I will use your tips to improve my playing technique. I've watched a lot of videos on Slide and Heel Toe technique and how they're working. But yours is the best!
I really like how structured your lessons are! Even though i have been playing for quite some time, i can always find something (sometimes many things) in your videos to improve my drumming :-)
My brother loves to watch videos like this. he says i should tell him that you have finally cleared his mind about some bass drum technique which he struggled with before
Lots of clear, concise, and understandable ideas on how to master the technique that suits you. Mickey, definitely A++ for being a teacher. The way you extend your information, you give off a vibe that me as a student is feeding off of and makes me feel at ease and not overwhelmed, confident and not having anxiety. Watching your methods, I'm still trying to figure out how Thomas Lang just flat out annihilates the bass drum, it's really cool but he does it so fast. Even on slow motion I can't tell and I'm only bringing that up here because he has yet to respond so I mean no disrespect. Thank you and have a good one ...
There is another way to do double bass drum: Put your toes on the top of the pedal and swing. It takes some practice and might hurt your toes if you’re barefoot.
First of all I want to say that you are doing a great job, excellent video! I have one question regarding the topic to bury the beater. I am a fairly new drummer and I taught myself most of the things I can play on drums. So when I started to play I learned the foot technique with always burying the beater and the relaxed position when I sit at drums is also to bury the beater. I really want to get rid of the habit so I force myself not to bury the beater - but now all I think of when playing some beats (beginner level) is my feet. Do you have maybe suggestions what or how I can practice to get rid of burying the beater and getting on the level I have been before with burying the beater? Thanks for the good videos! :)
I have been working on that pretty hard too and it is always difficult to break a habit. The most important thing is to watch your foot.. I mean really look at it. That will make it so much easier if you just don't rely on "feeling it".
Hi Brother - This was so helpful. I was looking for some help on double kick pedals and you seemed to answer the technique questions I had. Now I need to put it into practice. Thank you for doing this. Much appreciated. It was great!
Hi thanks for the wonderful video! You’re really good!!! When I practise my slide, I encounter a few issues. It’s really tough to practise slow. There seems to be ‘friction’ on the board preventing me to hit the send note. And sometimes my beater, on the back rebound, hits the top of my feet. I really need help!
No prob. Im a self taught drummer. Thats has been for over 10yrs. Now ive started implimenting the teachings of various drummer instructors.Many cant explain the very basics of some techniques. You i find getting straight to the core if what is needed to execute stroks. Thanks for sharing and ill continue watching and learning. For drumming is an infinte voyage.
Hello. I am from Brazil and here there are really great drums, but few who teach with such ease and accuracy. Bull Jean-Guillaume said all about you. Too bad you can't come to my country to teach. Great teacher.
That is really just a matter of taste.. Some people like a loose spring, some people like a tighter one. I'd try different settings. But stick to each setting for about a week, to really get used to it!
Love the way you teach! You are a great drummer and a great teacher, thank you so much for posting all these valuable teachings for free, it's such a blessing, bless you
Great videos, just subscribed. Quick question: would the seat height affect the efficiency of the speed of the note values for kick drum? I can't decide which is more efficient for me, higher or lower. Or is it simply a comfort thing?
This was really helpful, thank you. As a relative beginner, my kick/foot technique is a bit 'weak sauce' ... 😏. This has really helped clear up the techniques for me ... so, do you use mostly the slide technique for doubles, or heel/toe? Cheers! Be well!
I am glad I could help, my friend. I get this question a lot and it is kind of hard to answer. When I just play one double I mostly use the slide technique. If I use multiple doubles quickly after another I tend to use heel/toe, since (at least for me) it is easier to repeat. When I really got lots of doubles going on I switch from one technique to another when I get exhausted, to rest one muscle group while I use the other. But if I were you (a relative beginner) I'd pick one technique and work on that and don't spend too much time thinking about the other one. Later on, when you feel you get stuck with just one technique come back and work on the other one. I personally started with the slide technique and that is what I teach my students first, because it is probably a bit easier to learn. Hope that helped!
Thanks for answering every question I ever asked to myself about bass drum ! And your website is excellent too, thanks for sharing so much learning material.
hey I got a question, just starting drums if got the feeling I don't have the perfect control for the bass drum. sometimes I think the rebound of the bass drum ( drums) are too crazy , if I wanna pay single strokes heel down - works super but as soon as I wanna try more heel up technique its super hard to not get a rebound is there any way to find out if maybe my handwork is not the best or I need to do something super different from the footwork
Hi how you doing? Only had an acoustic Kit for 6 months but spent the last 20 years programming beats on various drum machines...Big shout for your lessons, I have looked at so many different ones so far and your way of explaining and demonstrating is very clear and has enabled me to vastly improve my techniques in a short space of time...I love some of the early hip hop beats made on 808s which can be complex to replicate on the kit...loved your lesson on the J Dilla techniques!
I notice that when you use the heel toe method you end up with your heel raised at the end (after the ankle stroke). Is it ok to end with the heel down instead, or does that mean I'm doing it wrong?
I just picked up drums, and the most comfortable for me was ‘heel down’. Is it limiting to play like this, in the long run? Will I get to a point where I can’t progress because of this ‘heel down’ technique? By the way, awesome lessons, awesome channel. Keep it up!
Oh man... the involuntary muscle movement is the worst way to play... for one you CANNOT control it. Thus the term "involuntary". Secondly you won't build speed nor will you be able to play loud... it's a very bad habit and when I have someone who comes in asking for tips on playing the double bass pedal fast and says they can play fast just not loud and can only go a certain speed I know right away they are just using (what I like to call) "involentary muscle spasm" it's the worst technique to learn/teach... you never want to get into the habit of doing this as you will never be able to control your foot. Practice and a good foot technique is the only way... theres a gent on here who can play what sounds like a double bass speed with just a single pedal. Hes the fastest I've ever seen, and all of his movements are controlled. Please for the love of drums do not tell people that this technique is okay... because its not. Those who do it will develop bad habits and sometimes those habits are hard to break. It hurts my heart, eyes, and ears to watch someone do this... especially when they think that they are playing fast. Your not playing fast... your foot/leg is just twitching. Terrible, terrible thing to teach to viewers who dont know any better....
After playing guitar about 16 years i decided to take up drumming about 5-6 years ago also (so ive been playing guitar about 20 years and drums about 5 1/2). And I can play heel toe really well it just felt so much more natural so i developed it quicker. And while i can play slide i feel like its heavily dependent on spring tension body positioning etc. For example I play a little closer to a right angle with my leg/knee when im playing heel toe but with slide i always feel like im too cramped in that position to get a nice relaxed slide motion that doesn't feel clunky and forced. Anybody else go through this? What did you end up doing to accommodate both stroke techniques?
Hey Mickey, I’m curious, why not just use the foot position and technique you use for the multiple strokes all the time? It seems like it’s a nice hybrid of heel-toe, heel up and heel down. I’m really struggling with fast doubles and I can’t keep good time for the final exercise (bass drum on every 16th note). I’m sure my foot technique is the culprit and want to fix it. Why shouldn’t I use the final technique all the time?
Hey Alexander, of course you can use this technique for doubles strokes but you probably won't reach the same speed you could with slide or heel-toe. On the other hand, every body works differently and you should always go with what feels best for you. If you feel comfortable that way, I'd go for it and if you hit a wall you can still go back and focus on one of the other techniques.
Thanks for this video :-) Is there a trick to get a better rebound with less power investment? How is the spring of the pedal adjusted? Very tight or rather very loose? The tighter the spring is, the more force you have to apply to get against it. But if the spring is less tight, you probably don't get much rebound, do you?
all good until the last part.... using ur shaking foot reflex is a very bad idea because it's a reflex... you can't control it. watched in another video and he explained it as "fake bass drum". there is no power, no control, and you can't keep a solid tempo. a very unreliable way to play "fast".
Thank you for breaking the bass drum techniques down. I really appreciate it. I have been working on the idea of how to practice NOT burying the pedal so to achieve a good double. I’ve found it’s better for pocket timing to not bury and have the foot ready to drop VS having to lift and stroke. If you made a video or hit me up with a paid lesson with a good exercise to practice this idea I’d gladly contribute!
In less than 10 minutes you have explained the logic of many different techniques, and very clearly that is. It's rare to find information so well put, especially on bass drum techniques which are hard to explain ! Thanks so much!
Thank Jojo. JoJo Mayer Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer Foot Technique

Congratulations, I love your videos.
I have to confess, I have tried, but not very hard mind you, I cannot read a note of music. Is there an easy way for you to teach a person like myself to read and play music, say, "drumming for dummies", what do you say?
Thanks for this, my drum kicks is improving
That is great to hear!
Man!!! This is really well put together, the channel is growing! Keep it up!!
Thank you so much, nearly 1500 subs. I couldn't be happier!

Bro. What kind of sneakers are those? They are sharp af.
Those are Pepe Jeans Sneaker. They were a gift from my brother. I'll let him know that I get positive feedback! ;-)
Wow.. The techniques were super educational... God bless.. 👍
Thank you so much, my friend!
Very nice! Gonna try your technique for multiple strokes. Do you move your foot to another part of the pedal for a different speed?
thanks man. You are correct, I move my foot back to reach higher tempos.
Actually you are the best teacher on RUclips, And thank you so much.
wow, thank you so much!
For me it's heel up slide technic!!
FTW 🏆🏆

This guy is like the 100% free version of Drumeo
I have been searching for some simple, clear and precise lessons for these two bass drum techniques. Thank you!
You sound like stewie from family guy
I've always instinctively done the slide tecnique and it works very well for me. Heel-toe feels super weird for me. I dunno.
When you can play slide comfortably, just stick with it. There really is no need to learn heel-toe.
This was so clear, brief, and helpful - exactly what I needed. Thanks.
perfect lessons.... thank you so much.....
You are welcome!
I am a retired schoolteacher.
You are a great teacher, never mind the subject matter.
Thank you very much.

Your springs seems very loose, do you thik that it would be a good idea for a beginner (2 years) ?
That is really just a matter of taste.. Some people like a loose spring, some people like a tighter one. I'd try different settings. But stick to each setting for about a week, to really get used to it!

Can you play that bass pedal like Jonathan Moffet. I saw his tutorial he said he never was a tap dancer.

Man, u opened my eyes on that last technique...the "shake." Pretty cool dude.
Very nice lesson....Thank You!

hey I got a question, just starting drums
if got the feeling I don't have the perfect control for the bass drum. sometimes I think the rebound of the bass drum ( drums) are too crazy ,

Thanx a lot for the video and transparent ealxplanations. There is also a so called swivel teqnique which is quite helpful in playing multiple kicks
You are right, but it is a more "exotic" technique and I wanted to keep this video relatively short.

depends on the style you are going for. If you want to play pop / hip hop / funk / rock, I'd go for heel up. Just gives you some more punch.
Please stop teaching technique until you fully understand them yourself...
Oh man... the involuntary muscle movement is the worst way to play... for one you CANNOT control it. Thus the term "involuntary".
