Okay, I'm here after 3 months of practicing I wasn't motivated. but right now i can say it was worth. i noticed an improvement, today. i was playing a song around 130bpm with double pedals. i always struggled with it, my double bass at that tempo used to be slopy and not good, but today i played it... and it was perfect. i really love you Eugene, today has been one of my best days in my life. and this is motivating me more and more.
Thank you for sharing all this advices. This video and expecially the "advanced double bass techniques" gave me the sprint I was searching for. Anyway, even if im a beginner at double bass, I'm doing an exercise from the "advanced" video: after all the exercises from this video, I do 10 minutes of 100 bpm (from yesterday 110). I found it really usefull, I can hear my muscles scream (expecially the weak leg) every time I do it, but I guess it's normal because it's like gymnastics for drummers and this will stremgthen my legs
@@RiccardoCipollettaaah shit, not the answer I was hoping for ahahah anyway, that's quiet nice though. I hope that at least it showed you that with practice and consistency we can achieve goals we think are impossible in the begining. Wish you the best, and as a drummer I also wish that some day you have the chance to play the drums again. Stay safe bro ;)
Yeeeahh.. No way he has only been behind a drum kit 2 times in his life. He has excellent posture and excellent rhythm and he can play fast with his legs with no mess up whatsoever.
I've been drumming for ten years now so this didn't really teach me anything, but it is nice to revisit the basics every so often. I can see this video being very helpful and educational to aspiring musicians, and I admire that. Great job Eugene, excellent video
Pretty awesome idea to use a beginner in your tutorial. I've been drumming on and off for far too long and, thanks to a lack of proper practice, my technique overall is really sloppy. This tutorial inspired me to go back to the basics and basically start again.
I just want to say thank you! I’ve been playing drums for a year now but have been holding off on the double bass until I felt I sorta got the hang of the rest of the drum set. I started doing the exercises shown in this video about 2 days ago and it’s already paying off D: You’re a fantastic teacher!
best teaching video i've seen. I can see that you eugene had all those problems and kept working on it. Im a friend/student of Derek Roddy, and one thing that he always tells me is that: only way to get better at blast beats is to play blast beats, the only way to improve your double bass is to play double bass, and with control speed will come. Enough, time to go practice and slowly.
Such a great way to reinforce that it takes "slow and low" to learn. Just bought Speed Cobra 910s. And I'm so far from double-kicking.... I will re-learn my master foot on a top-shelf pedal first. Then I shall incorporate my left foot. Thank you for the Great video!
One of the best educational videos i've seen. Good lessons and practices, good and understandable language, clear and inspiring :) Thanks a lot as a beginner drummer!
My old Tama Iron Cobra single chain pedals (can you believe it?! Single chain!!) was holding me back. I just got my Yamaha DFP9D and it’s so smooth now I am struggling to control it - it’s fast no doubt. 👀 PS: I am 40 years old, has no been drumming for 18 years now, picking up the pieces (the body is stubborn, but the spirit is willing) and this video helps. Thank you Mr. Eugene.
Awesome video! I plan on implementing this immediately! Absolutely no way his brother goes from almost zero drumming experience to knocking out 16th notes at 120 in one easy lesson. Obviously talented musicians but he’s played the drums before
I started guitar in 95. I brought my first drum 4 years ago for christmas. At the end of febuary, i was able to play at 200bpm in front of people who know music. First goal was fade to black, 140bpm. Second aouth of heaven 156. Then the hardest part 150-170bpm. Then 170-190 the easiest part. Trust me everybody can.
Thank you for your videos, Eugene! I've toyed with an e-drum kit at home for almost a year, and recently bought double bass pedals. I learned how to play double bass stroke rolls at ~125 BPM pretty early on (using hi-hat pedal as 2nd bass), and quickly caught up with the proper double bass pedals, but never progressed beyond that. I think it's because I can't transition from whole-leg to the "bouncing the footboard like a basketball" technique without losing (almost all) strength and control. It would be really nice if you could post a guide, or a video, for "almost beginners" or "intermediate" players who are in between this and your "Advanced double bass techniques" video, and are looking to progress beyond whole leg motion. Duzhe dyakuyu and greetings from Finland!
If I will find a guinea pig for that purpose - I will try to make a video. My brother is way too inexperienced for this and I am afraid for me it would be too easy. Need someone exactly in this tempo range. Thanks for the suggestion!
Best tutorial video for beginners! Now I need to find out how to develop endurance for my right leg that can’t hold on more than a few bars (a min for lower tempos)
I've been air-drumming for double bass for quite some time now, that when I finally got an e-drum and double pedals, i got into it somewhat decent. But slowly taking baby steps, and not rush into things. "Don't get carried away" ;)
Thanks for the great tutorial!! Always wanted to try out double bass drumming, and by far this is the BEST lesson for all beginners! (also very lucky that this video was uploaded just this year!)
This is the most helpful video I've come across on YT. Been playing drums for 20 years..Double Pedal for roughly 6 but I never hammered down and practiced at a slow pace to work on my control and balance. THanks again for the vid.
You're welcome. Make sure you check the "advanced" part. It's always nice to read such comments. ruclips.net/video/EDJXH_EHke8/видео.html&lc=z12ncj2wetmmtdh5g04cdjtzqqixsl2j2wc0k
2:22 i think you got me there... But I'm not looking for some kind of cheat or trick, more for what I do wrong or what I could do better, since I think I didn't achieve any progress in the last weeks...
Your double bass tutorials are probably one of the best of RUclips man, hopefully you keep doing more since i see that you didn't release one in quite some time :)
Thank you so much Eugene. This video has helped me a lot, i can feel the difference since i started practicing, although i only have 2 months practicing double bass i can feel the difference and the control i have with my feet. Once again thank you so much that motivation really made me reflex :’)
I've been playing drums for a long time now but I've never been playing a lot until a week or two, so my double bass skills are really poor. This video helped me a lot though, thank you very much Eugene ;)
honestly after 10 years of playing, i can say that the fastest way i got better at my double pedal skills is by playing songs that were too fast for me, or at least trying to, and just hammering it over and over
I always enjoy your videos. Entertaining and knowledgeable. I have to get my leg motion back. I tried using ankles for everything. So i really screwd my double bass up lol. Back to start. Thanks for the lesson look forward to more!
I'm not saying your brother is a pro but for someone who's never played before his double bass is super solid that caught me of guard I bet if he kept up practicing he could get consistent 150Bpm 16ths for a solid 5 minutes no problem
Well, I started playing drums with 7 (I´m 18 now) and since I thought about what to become in my future I always dreamed ´bout getting a metal drummer. But after a surgery in march 2016 I haven´t been able to play/practise for over 8 months. After this long time I started to practise again and finally I got a Doublebase too. I didn´t know anything ´bout it just tried to play my fav songs and so on. The thing was, none of the teachers I had, had any Idea of doublebase so the only thing I got thaugt was marchmusic and jazz. Sadly I didn´t like that kind of music very much so I lost all the motivation and fun I had with drumming very quickly. Well sure, sometimes I tried to work with stuff I found on the Internet but because of the non existing "fun factor" my will to improve didn´t last long. Now, in 2019 after some years of just "tantalizing" myself with music I really don´t like and which took all the fun I had with drumming I signed of this lessons. Thanks to your tutorials, motivation came back and I started to enjoy playing the drums again. So thanks for that Eugene! Can´t wait to improve my not really existing doublebase skills. And share it with others. Well I got problemes with my hands again, but I´m staying positive and I´m willing to fight for my dreams now, because I can see progress using your tipps. Greetings from Austria and thanks to your awesome vids!
Hi Eugene. Pretty nice explanation helps me a lot. I want to ask you if you can make a video of how to play fast tips for hands to beginners as well so i can practise too. Thanks a lot \m/
Спасибо! 🙏 особенно должно помочь упражнение с переходом с 16 на 8 и "остановкой" кардана, т.к.именно в этом я испытываю сильные затруднения - вовремя начать и вовремя остановиться
There is one area in which I disagree with most extreme metal drummers' tutorials (I'm not 100% sure I could say this video does it too), which is always linking the right hand with the right foot. It is much simpler to get started this way, but you will ultimately put yourself at a disadvantage. Just like playing open-handed (with both hands having the ability to lead) rather than cross-handed gives a huge advantage long-term over other drummers, you will be much better in the long term if you can lead with both feet. The best remedy for a weak foot is not to have a weak foot in the first place. If you want to see some drummers who can demonstrate the advantages of being able to left-foot lead - such as pedal-bridging with the hi-hat - see Gene Hoglan, Akira Jimbo, and Vinnie Paul.
How often and how much should I turn up the metronome? Thanks a lot Eugene, greetings from Colombia. :) psc: You should make a PDF with all the excercises ;)
Dude, your tutorials are fucking phenomenal!! Easily some of the best on youtube. Do you have any videos differentiating when you would use a single stroke roll vs heel/toe doubles for speed? Or how to apply heel/toe within a groove?
Advanced drummer bringing in a amateur to show us the mistakes we might make? Genius!!!
thank you! I appreciate you noticed it.
this guys is the best teacher in the youtube history ....
Actually though
OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But i agree with you though
I have 2 months practicing these exercises and it really have helped me a lot, i can feel the difference
You're his evil twin huh?

Well no shit
Your brother is actually not bad! Great video, thanks for the tips.
Eugene Awesome as Always
Dude is that really Tim!?!?!?!
+BurnThePope absolutely
the master of drums!! really???
Yep
Yeah, it is him. How awesome is that? I watched tons of his vids before I could properly play drums :D
Pretty awesome idea to use a beginner in your tutorial. I've been drumming on and off for far too long and, thanks to a lack of proper practice, my technique overall is really sloppy. This tutorial inspired me to go back to the basics and basically start again.
My goal was achieved then. Thanks for sharing with us your story.
That blazer is fire.
I just want to say thank you!

Thank you so much for the feedback ;)
You made my day ... you know when something is obvious but you didnt see it ... thank sir ... for every session and every jam to come ... thank you
thank you
I decided to play drums again after 4 years hiatus, and i found this helpful. Thanks Eugene!
Very good and inspired lesson thank you Eugene, from Thailand.

Such a great way to reinforce that it takes "slow and low" to learn. Just bought Speed Cobra 910s. And I'm so far from double-kicking.... I will re-learn my master foot on a top-shelf pedal first. Then I shall incorporate my left foot.
Thank you for the Great video!
Drumeo 5min kick drum exercice for each foot. 60-65bpm to start.
this tutorial is extremely helpful - thank you - very important to start slow & not try to progress to quickly
One of the best educational videos i've seen. Good lessons and practices, good and understandable language, clear and inspiring :) Thanks a lot as a beginner drummer!
oh yes a master of double bass
My old Tama Iron Cobra single chain pedals (can you believe it?! Single chain!!) was holding me back.
I just got my Yamaha DFP9D and it’s so smooth now I am struggling to control it - it’s fast no doubt. 👀
PS: I am 40 years old, has no been drumming for 18 years now, picking up the pieces (the body is stubborn, but the spirit is willing) and this video helps.

Excellent tutorial Eugene, great idea to have a new player demonstrate. Thankyou!
Thanks man even tho I’ve been playing double bass I needed this
Awesome video! I plan on implementing this immediately!

That intro was beautiful omg
Your tutorials are definitely the best material on drumming on youtube.
I've quit drumming a few months ago, but this really inspires me, as I was just beginning with double Bass, too. Might bust out the drumset again!
Go for it , if you Achive a Thing Youre the happiest Guy on Earth .
why did you quit?
Drums are the best, why did you quit???
Herrkaminkx don’t quit man!!! Best thing you can do
superb, you made an amazing and clear video on exercice for control that we need. thank you!!!!!!!!
Discipline and patience
I need a music class especially a drum class in Madrid, Spain.
Thanks for the great tutorial!! Always wanted to try out double bass drumming, and by far this is the BEST lesson for all beginners! (also very lucky that this video was uploaded just this year!)
Thanks, good luck ;)
everything you point out is something ive done or almost done. your videos truly inspire me and give me the EXACT advice i needed!

Amazing channel!
The exercise I found very helpful was the one in which I lead with weaker foot and with right hand.
just started to practice the heal-toe technique....my pedal speed has nearly doubled in just 2 days!
U are a genius, man !! just love the lessons .... can you plz suggest me some double bass independence lesson ?
Thanks :D Look up Drumeo. They got everything.
That electronic practice set up is cool. I need something like that. Would be cool to know what you have.
Good Stuff Eugene priceless you fucking rock
Rite Eugene,, BASICS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANAT. if u can pull this you got everything in DB IN SHORT TIME
find your sweet spot, and take advantage of it!!!!!
Criplets! Amazing!!11
Судя по имени и фамилии ты русский ) привет из России) хорошее видео, уже не первый раз попадаются твои видосы, и знаешь они вдохнавляют)
How often and how much should I turn up the metronome?
Thanks a lot Eugene, greetings from Colombia. :)
psc: You should make a PDF with all the excercises ;)
If you're interested in those exercises - just pm me and I will send them to you.

The Christoph Waltz of drumming...
Could anyone recomend a good pedal? I was thinking about the speed cobra, but any suggestions around that pricerange would be Nice. ty.
Speed Cobra is probably the best in it's price range
