Extending your knee and straightening your leg while the ankle is relaxed allows the foot to respond to the effort coming through the extension. The 'flop' that occurs in the ankle/foot strikes the floor and there's your beat. Similar idea to extending your elbow and keeping your wrist relaxed to make your hand 'flop'.
@@ryancbirch Ryan, you are the man - I didn't expect a reply. I've since discovered it's all in keeping that foot as floppy as poss and giving it a decent nudge. Thankyou so much :-)
@@Xfactories Exactly. Not everyone will take this approach and there are certain situations where in don't apply it (say you want separated pull backs on an even 16th note, I find I have to articulate it more and land flat on the foot in order to maintain the note value). But in general I find it's a really efficient way to work and really helps when you want to double up the beats while in the air.

Thank you so much! I have never seen the "whip" being shown this way, that was really helpful on figuring out how to get the sounds going. ^_^
That's helpful!
How exactly does straightening the leg at 2:31 elicit a downward tap?
