The speed is obviously impressive, but your ramp up from slow to fast was so clean - and then seamlessly transitioning to the swivel was so clean I can barely believe it! Most drummers can’t pull off that level of control with their hands! Bravo!
Years ago. Before RUclips. I was teaching myself how to play rock and metal drums. My feet started doing this swivel action at high speeds. I thought it was just me and it was something I discovered or that just my feet did.
For any beginners: He started by using his full leg motion at low speeds. He then went to heel-toe technique (which is what you should focus on MUCH before swivel) And then ended with swivel. You can get by 90% of songs by just learned heal-toe (AKA Ankle) technique. Don’t get bummed out if you can’t implement swivel right away.
Awesome job man! As more of a jazz player, or someone with a lighter touch per say…the bass drum tuning isn’t exactly my favorite, but stylistically I know that it makes sense. To each his own right. The playing is stellar; super clean transitions from the singles to doubles back to singles again. Would love to see it in a musical context. Cheers! *Edit-I stand corrected by the RUclips community. I’m not a double pedal guy so it was an honest mistake. They are in fact not doubles just singles. At that speed it was hard to tell and the swivel technique made it look deceiving to my eye. Either way…still good execution of technique and the functionality of it.
@@mattdillon6943 Dude…you’re right. My bad. The looks of it were deceiving to me when the swivel technique came in. I slowed the playback down and saw they were singles. Honest mistake. Didn’t mean to upset ya. Lol.
I play metal myself, but the type of progressive death metal that allows your instruments to still sound like actual instruments & not sound replaced, computerized samples, triggering, etc (although I do listen to some players who utilize these audio choices). When there isn't as much space in the music & the tempos get high, unfortunately the kick has to have a very tight click or "tap" tone to it. Heavily distorted guitars playing in low registers also don't often allow open sounding kick drums. I desperately want to not port my head, but even with damping, the "boom" was hard to tune out & it fights with the Bass guitar. Also, having all that air bouncing around in the kick makes higher tempos too bouncy....seemingly impossible to bury the mallet during double kick playing with no port. At least for me
This sounded really good, I find the worst double bass comes from people that do heel toe, it usually sounds sloppy and not steady at all, in most cases.
I don’t get why you would swivel though, seems like it’s outputting more movement and energy than needed. Can’t you just go that fast without swiveling
first, you have to master smooth and consistent tecnique to play double bass. Second, you have to build stamina dependending how much you play doubles in the song. Third, how dynamic your playing is. If your legs are lack of stamina it infects you playin negatively. I play in Finnish band called Simulacrum witch is brogressive speedmetal band. We have a song called Enter the Hyperion, song is 182 bbm and 6 min long and most of the song is more or less polyryhmic double bass play and other parts are straight playin in high tempo. You guys should listen this song and after that you can think what is important thing to play songs like Enter the Hyperion.. ruclips.net/video/TvfMCE8eiQ4/видео.html
One proud thing I can say is that I can play 300bpm on double bass. I never saw the good in swivel. It seemed to use more energy than classic heel up. Heel toe makes more sense with those pedals.
This is the only thing I’ve seen that truly convinces me of the argument that a single bass drum head can’t properly breathe at high speeds. Even then though, with two kicks and your ability there’d be no reason to use triggers.
Beyond a certain tempo it all turns into mush in the mix. I was doing a track with 16ths @ 240. It sounded okay in isolation, but when I mixed the drums in with the rest of the instruments, it just sounded like a truck driving past -- one long note. I had to re-record with triggers. There's a big anti-trigger brigade on the internet, but most of those people have no idea how a trigger actually works and what it does and doesn't do.
Dude! This fucking blew me away. You’re Power and consistency at the higher tempos is unreal. I have been grinding 4-5 days a week for the past year and a half on a journey to improve my kick speed and control. I have gotten up to about 230 for short bursts, but 220 is what I would say is my every day top speed. Currently I alternate between 10 minute endurance runs between 180-190 and the Kevin Paradis foot speed workout he has here on RUclips. I have recently found some success with swivel, although up to this point my technique has mostly been just straightforward ankle technique. Did you deliberately practice this technique, or did it just come naturally? Secondly, were there any exercises or workouts that you found useful regarding the development of your foot speed? Just endurance runs? Or did you have other exercises that you would do on a regular basis? Thanks for your help! Subscribing now!
When I was starting with swivel technique I did a lot exercises and watched my feet so I'll get the right movement. I was practicing less when I got to the point where i could play it normally on reahersals etc. Faster tempos just came naturally after this, but it took a long time before I got comfortable with swivel. I'm sure that with your routine you'll get to faster tempos soon.
@@marcelidrummer - Hey man I appreciate the quick response. Thank you for the encouragement. Had another question for you. Do you have a certain tempo that you use swivel above? What I mean is, do you think to yourself “if it is below a certain speed I’m just going to play it straight ankles,” then switch to swivel when it gets above a certain speed? I know that it is necessary to practice at slower speeds to develop the muscle memory, but after you get it up to speed, do you utilize regular ankle technique below say 200? Or does your body just switch automatically without you having to think about it?
@@marcelidrummer The reason I ask is because when I have watched videos of guys like Ken Bedine, I noticed that he doesn’t always swivel. He only starts to utilize that technique around 220 or faster.
Esa es una gran habilidad física indiscutiblemente, felicidades.... aunque realmente lo que hace y necesita un buen baterista profesional es: tener GUSTO, excelente TIEMPO, buen GROOVE y LEER música 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sounding like a helicopter startup 😂
Бедные колени
Perfect transition from full leg motion to ankles to swivel. Really impressive.
^ THIS!!!
Dude, my thoughts exactly. Smooth as fuck with no concrete timez just rolled up and right back down. That shit was impressive
I can tell you put alot of work in to this teqnique, well done

EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION OF TRANSITIONING FROM FULL LEG, ANKLE, TO SWIVEL! FANTASTIC
Better and better!
that was SO. FUCKING. CLEAN.
No talking and to the point demo. Excellent

He did not used heel toe at all.
@@hellion5206you right, I meant ankle technique
Heel-toe is not ankle technique
There's a looooooooooooooooooooot of work behind this. Impressive!!!
I couldn’t help but smile. The dedication and control you showed here is truly impressive
Good shit, seamless transitions, sick speed. 10/10
that’s amazing, so clean!
Very nice man🚨🥁🔥 keep it up dude🤘🏾😎🚬🔥

dude....at no point did he switch to doubles....its all single strokes. he just switched from ankle technique to swivel technique as he speeds up

AMAZING!
Wow! my mind is blown!
That’s Awesome!!!
I have seen alot put holy what a control, most impressive iv seen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So clean sounds like a Bell Huey helicopter!
Sir, that was very nice
Congratulations man!!!!!
This is what I want to learn. The transition is perfect. It is so clear.
goals 😢
That is VERY impressive.
Nice control
Clean!
so fresh so clean
Double Bass action!! 🥁🥁🤘👍
Yeah! Just like my spin dryer🤘
Very well done!
Pretty sure I have a hard time with regular style pedals because my feet are irregularly large for my 5 ft 6 stature...
Look up the ledwig speed king it's a long board pedal
this makes me wanna play drums on my guitar
Mad control
That bass drum needed a cigarette after that
Good job!😊
You are just as good as the pros
Well. This is how it's done.
Called the army
Nice
i subscribed...
Bass drum be like:please have mercy!
This sounded really good, I find the worst double bass comes from people that do heel toe, it usually sounds sloppy and not steady at all, in most cases.
ヤバい！Get motivated！I want to be able to do it quickly！！
Wtf bro, that was clean
I don’t get why you would swivel though, seems like it’s outputting more movement and energy than needed. Can’t you just go that fast without swiveling
Swivelling causes the muscle groups you're using to change between strokes, so it causes a lot less strain and fatigue on each individual muscle.
wow that's killer!
Sounds like a chinook 👍👍👍
super impressive!
FUCK DUDE that's awesome

lots of power there. nice.
Great, good job
Хорошая работа мозга. Браво.
Wow, that was wild
How do you keep your feet from sliding off the pedals?
What kind of pedal is that?
Awesomeness
Fuckin' amazing!!!
Congratulations...
🤘😈🤘
Smooth velocity
I've seen something like this before , But Wow.....
That transition though..😮
Very useful for a ballad or a slow blues..sorry but I am to old for such a mad competition 😜
오우 굳.
That just put a smile on my face 10 miles wide!!!. Are they Axis pedals by the way?
No. Polish made
They are nice nevertheless
Muito bom parabéns pelo trabalho profissional 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 aqui 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🖐️🖐️🖐️
💯
Thank you for a real informational video to the fucking point
disgustingly good
So very good 🎉

Heel toe makes more sense with those pedals.
What kind of beaters do you have there really nice
Awesome!! What is the price of that double pedal in dollars?
It was around 850 when i was buying it byt it is probably more expensive right now due to high inflation in poland.
This is so fucking neat.
I've never mastered a foot technique like that when I was a drummer... However I must say I used a 60 euro double pedal
Drum go boom
Flawless
Can you make a tutorial how Sindhis get this speed using ankle and swivel ?
Thanks
Great vid. What pedals are those?
AwEsOmE🥵🥶
Amazing control! Teach me,please! I mean,I need and want to learn .ore of the medium speeds. Maybe from 130 bpm 😅😔
Amazing

What's the brand name of your direct drive double kick pedal if i may ask?
czarcie kopyto
Bravissimo
amazing volume !! are you using two coins in the bass drum head ??
No, just head and a piece of ducktape.
Perfect, how much time did it take to get such “skill”?
Like 1-2 years of swivel practice at that time. but Im sure that with regular hard work you can get there much faster.

El poder leer música te pone un escalón arriba, es lo que hace que te llamen a ti en lugar de alguien más
What are your pedal settings? Great work by the way
Success "Helicopter" unlocked.
Sounded like a helicopter coming in
So your heels on swivel both match out and in at same time?
I'm decent at my right foot on swivel but my left is hard to sync.
Can this work on any pedal? Short boards as well?
Yes this works on pretty much every pedal
Lmao I thought I was hearing a helicopter or something
slipknots new drummer 😂😂
Why does he move his feet sideways when he's playing at higher speeds?! 🤔
"it's all in the wrists!"
Helicopter takeoff sound effect
😎👊 shoooow!
