    My drum teacher thankfully taught me this technique back in the late 80s and it's still the one that I use most often. A BEGINNER TIP: Start with your heel up and the beater against the head. Drop your heel down slowly to relieve pressure from the ball of your foot to the heel and feel the beater pull back. Imagine your foot as a rocker on an old rocking chair and repeat the motions, rocking your foot back into the starting position with heel up and beater against the head. YOUR FOOT NEVER LOSES CONTACT WITH THE FOOTBOARD.

    It's like a reversed heel toe and it is super useful! I'm currently working on developing both direction, and after 8 months of practice i can do them at 160 bpm with almost no efforts for a minute straight. It's a long path to gain high velocity but your drumming will have huge benefits from this, especially in balance, power, precision and....of course for great doubles! If you practice both direction after a while try jim chapin section 1 with the feet, you'll be surprised :)

    Brilliant, love it. I've been working on this exact technique for a few months now (learned from another teacher on youtube) and it's great. Solved so many issues I was having. Doubles or however many strokes you need. Harder than it looks for sure but absolutely killer. Anika is legend and we should all be grateful for her sharing this gem with us 💛

    Because of you, I've changed a lot of my technique. You are an inspiration, without doubt! This heel toe technique on the kick is proving to be a God send! A while back I even reversed my number one and two toms due to you! I'll never go back! Thanks for all you bring to the craft!!! You rock!!!

  • @sanandrea490
    @sanandrea490 Год назад

    Why do you have to start the opposite ( flat foot to toe ? ) if you have 3 or 5 strokes in a row ? 😮 it looks one could just do tip - flat foot - tip without any problem though 🤔
    Is it when you start them on the 2sd or 4th sixteenth notes ?

  • @keegster1882
    @keegster1882 Год назад

    Very neat. I accidentally taught myself the "slide" technique when I first started drumming. Found out a couple of years later is was an actual technique drummers used. I've honed it over the years to where it is effective and easy to use. This technique looks really cool, though.
    I've seen people use one called the "heel-toe" technique. I gave that a try and managed to get the idea how to use it but, it's not mastered at all. I'll definitely work on this "push-pull" technique. Thank you for sharing. I think techniques are great to break down and learn.

      Heel toe is a little different from this. Hard to explain. But if you check out Drumeos video of the heel toe, you’ll see what I mean. As someone else mentioned, I believe this technique is called constant release? Steve Smith has a pretty good video on here explaining how he does it.

    That last groove would sound cool on the tom-tom..advanced drummer tom,bass,snare and hi-hat..da da da da da daaaah...the ride cymbal being the daaaaahhh..so basically it's a drum roll or fill..another example is starting with a bass drum cymbal combo to begin the fill and ending in the same combo..double the fill going from same combo above and doing it twice, forward and backwards..

    @williammorgan5320 Год назад

    Thanks Anika. I think any player worth his/her salt would know the double hit and the bouncy/slam foot technique. A double to the double is a challenge for those with weak calf muscles. The sound is great, if you can keep it consistent. Any variation and you sound like a wounded toad. Anika always sounds as if she has three hands anyway. And, she should marry me.

      That's what I had in mind. So spring tension matters or let's say, beater length, beater weight, drum head tension.
      I mean there are drummers I ask about spring tension and the answer was: I don't care.
      But for more advanced foot techniques these are definitely important parameters.
