Been playing extreme metal for over 14 years, my biggest challenge is to make my pedals responsive.
I’ve never been successful with my double bass playing. This unique breakdown is superb. Now I have something I can a work on to improve. Your very last tip, using you left foot to play standard beats was I think the best. You’ve put into words what I go through exactly. That’s a gift you have man. Thank you. I subscribed and liked a quarter of the way through. Terrific job!
I like that you put your pedal on the outside of the hat pedal - makes more sense to me
Your set sounds awesome! Nice set up, and miking; really appreciate it as a soundguy!
Much appreciated!
Best video for me ❤️
Really happy to hear that, @anugrahahabil3663! If you found this video to be the best, maybe you'd enjoy diving deeper with our membership lessons. Check it out: welcome.drum.dog
I just added a second kick drum. I can use my left or right foot to play single kick stuff. But working on playing double kick stuff is the tricky bit.
That last one is so cool! Definitely gonna add these to my practice routine 🤘
Great vid!!! Awesome playing!!
Brilliantly explained for beginners.
ヤバい！That's awesome. I'm motivated. I `ll stick it！
This guy has it spot on! That second example is me all over
i've been playing for nearly 30 years and that is still me...
Thanks dude. Dope video!
Great edit man thank you for sharing. I got a lot from this.
Been workin hard on beginning Double bass . Ty or putting in some decent exercises.
This video is SO helpful, thank you!
Brilliant video.
YOOO THE LAST ONE IS SO HELPFUL
Nice video, bud!
Wow very great video! I love the shirt too!
great lesson. keep it going :)
Also for a really cool galloping sound like in the 4 hoursemen by metallica just do tip number 5 but triplets instead of doubles, it sounds a little cooler and more intense but is about the same difficulty. It also helps build up the leg strength and stamina if you do it as a warm up
Very well done video lesson....I'll be using it as a student aid! Thank you....
Glad it was helpful!
This is the tutorial I needed. Instant subscribe. Massive thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Tysm this was super useful and I made beats immediately with these tips as soon as I learnt them
Great tips pal
Sehr cooler Typ... sehr gut erklärt.
Bin zwar noch Anfänger aber bin begeistert von diesem Video.

Dankeschön, @daniibee9050! Es freut uns sehr, dass das Video dir gefallen hat. Viel Erfolg weiterhin beim Trommeln! Greetings back to Germany! 🇩🇪
Thanks brother
excellent! thnx very much..
Great! If only there were drum tabs to go along with it
Love it!🤘🤘
Something that helped me with left foot was car drumming. Your right foot is busy on the gas pedal, so play all kick with the left foot while driving.
Just started double kick drum today and wow I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing lol.
But already after all morning of practicing I just got the one alternating tip one lmao

Spot on thanks!
You're very welcome
Great video!
Thanks for enjoying the video! If you found this great, there’s lots more to uncover in our exclusive content on the site: welcome.drum.dog 📚
Cool tips ! After 40 years of drumming I bought a single pedal …instant humility 😂😂😂😂😂 back to being a beginner
This helped me a lot, what kind of cymbals are you using, I love the sound
Glad it was helpful Stephen 🙂
Cymbals are:
-Meinl Byzance 15" Dual Hats
-Meinl Byzance Extra Hammered 20" Thin Crash
-Murat Diril 21" Mosaic Ride
-Sabian AA 19" Holy China
Very helpful tips! QUESTION: are you sitting on the edge of your seat for these AS A BEGINNER? or are you sitting balanced so that -- as a beginner - if you were to lift your feet up, you do NOT fall forward. Thanks!
Hi there just to let you know that your comment we'll be answered in our comments video dropping later today.
No.5 aka the Ensiferum beats
the tip i didn't get on this video. When you don't use a double pedal but still only a hihat on your left ( for righty drummers) play with the hihat during a beat when using the bassdrum foot. Normally you will go exactly between a (bassdrum) note by pressing bass foot pedal/right hand on hihat and the moment the bass foot hits then open/release immediately the hihat left foot. >> you will get the bSSSHHTT sound.... The feeling of double bass playing will already develop automatically, ( because the left will follow the right foot) in this way you develop a excelent timing on your left foot. This helped me a lot in my double bass playing during the years even before i played double bass :) enjoy!
Great tutorial. I notice you have your slave pedal on the outside of your hi hat pedal, I do the same as I like my hi hat to be close.
Yeah, Its great and it does Ryan's head in if he has to sound check the kit 🤣
Hey Drum Dog, searching for an upgrade to my DW7000. Is this the iron cobra 900? Speed cobra? Thanks
For some reason my PDP double pedal doesn't extend out enough to go on the left side of the Hi hat pedal.
Nice video what is the cymbal on the left side near the hihat please. Thanks
crash cymbal
Is a good tortorial😆
Great video! I notice you have your slave pedal outside your hi-hat. Did you use an extended length rod? I’ve been looking for one.

3:34 bro thought he could play bat country without us noticing
❤❤❤❤❤
How do I get my slave pedal that far over to the left? Mine is fully extended and yet my knee is still millimetres away from the snare.
I only play single pedal but double pedal can be cool
I've really noticed that my left foot has a lot less control than the right, for double bass and even for more complex hi hat stuff. I've tried playing basic beats with just the left foot and it's sorta worked but I'll definitely try to invest more time into it
I have a tip, just play beats while your driving and use the left foot for bassdrum. That will improve the feel of left foot over time a lot, later you implement it to the kit on double bass pedal. :)
Same here. I try to play with my left foot as much as possible. My problem is staying in time. My feet ALWAYS want to speed up. It’s so frustrating!
4:42. I was hearing laid to rest by Lamb of God
Drum Dog, so Ypou place the slave pedal on the outside of your Hi Hat pedal? I just got my first double pedal. I will "try" this lesson with interest. Hey, I'm 69 YO, it takes a lot of Time to accustom to these things. THX and Be well. FYI, I resumed drumming after a50 YEAR Hiatus as a Teenager. I play for Recreational pleasures only -m playing to My Music of Basic Rock and Roll.
Great to hear you're getting back into drumming again, enjoy! 😁🥁
For the slave pedal placement, it's totally personal preference to place it either side of the hi hat pedal. Go for whatever feels most comfortable to you!
What kind of Crash is that on your left
i've played bass with my left foot jammin in my automatic car for years
Uffffffff 💣💣💣😎👌
I have serious problem of holding my breath when I play constant double bass above 140bpm 16th notes...
Breath control can be a real killer, we completely understand!
Give this a shot: practice at a lower tempo, say 90bpm, and focus entirely on your breathing while playing constant 16ths with your feet. Practice each foot individually playing 8ths if you need to, the key is to try to let the playing happen without your input, and focus entirely on relaxed and regular deep breathes. When it feels comfortable, slowly pick up the tempo by 2 or 3 bpm each time, making sure you get the same level of relaxation before moving up!
Hope this helps 🥁🐕
@@drumdog I definitely will. Thanks
I cant play over 140 bpm i dont know i can play ankle motion at 180 to 210 but cant just play 160 150
Those are called mid tempos and are a pretty damn hard tempos to play at. I'm facing the exact same issue (but I can't play ankle motion yet) and I think the key to solve this is to find your "sweet spot" on the pedal board. For example, let's says you're playing 140bpm 16th notes run using leg motion, If you find it too fast but still too slow for ankle motion, just go a little backwards on you pedal board and so on until you find the tempo where you have to use ankle.
Haha that avenged sevenfold song is on in my drum room and listening to this video started playing it 3 bars ahead to What I was hearing from the other room…..Super Weird!
I thought this was a great list for beginners.
The last one is cheating❤(tip number 5.)❤
My right leg is great my left leg has a sickness called “Biden brain”
You forgot the fake continuous triplet!

Another super important “trick” which is overlooked approx 99.9% of the time, is the shape of the cam. Pretty much anything ever mentioned about double bass should address this first n foremost. Is it a perfect round sprocket or off-center? It’s bizarre how no one for whatever reason wants to me too it. Really one of the few reasons that separate pro pedals and everything else w a cpl obv exceptions. Yes beater placement n foot board adjustment blah blah blah matters too but not as much as the shape of the cam. Most of us like the off-center cam n some dig the round sprocket. That’s all that really needs to be mentioned lol y’all gotta start being more honest and jus be straight up with ppl w/o clogging up our feeds w the same stuff everyone else puttin out there.
No talk of any foot technique or anything.
Buy two bass drums not a Pedal. ✌️🤘☠️
You'll still be needing another pedal 😆
*The Double Kick bass sound is the worst sound in rock music history. It is for drummers who have poor stick control and poor imaginations.*
My friend John JR Robinson never has needed a double kick bass pedal of any kind.
I like to play some of my favorite beats with my left foot as a warmup before double bass beats
