The Heel Up is one of the most common techniques used to play fast bass drum and it’s often called Ankle Motion. Sometimes it’s hard to control it, speed it up or have a good dynamic. Let’s break it down and understand all the tricks to work on the speed, power and endurance of the ankle motion!

It's so useful, thank you very much🙏🏻🌙

Hey James, great video. When you perform the ankle technique on the pedal, do you keep your leg slightly elevated by having a static contraction of your hip flexor? So the upper leg is still fully relaxed, just "kept in the air" basically

[@miked5487]

yeh i feel like this might be a different technique to Martins static contraction.. but im not too sure.. eager to find out.. I normally do static contraction and put more pressure on the foot board

And how to deal with left foot?

[@prod_adrian]

Always very interesting footage!
But how the hell does one play without the spring on? I tried this and my Roland KD-10 gives me ZERO rebound, so the beater is either full stuck on the pad head or lays on the footboard. I question if its even possible with this eDrum head to get the beater back...?? So i cant even practise continous strokes, because i always have to pick the beater back up.

Can depend on many things. Does the beater hit the head parallel? Anything further may lessen the rebound. Then how far out is the beater? The further the less rebound.
What kind of beater do you use? It is heavy? Do you use beaterweights? And how hard is the surface you are playing on? Generally you want a not too top heavy beater, hitting the surface parallel. The surface shouldn't be as lose as a lose Bassdrum.
