Love all your advice, thank you for putting so much of your time into helping many would be drummers ❤
Practiced through a lot of your videos. Like the humour. I appreciate the effort to put so much stuff up for free. I've played drums in my church 's sunday service for the first time now and it was a big success - and that's partially because of your free videos. Cheers!
Amazing!! So happy I've been able to help ❤️
Okay, I have to say I am learning so much. I am 57 and just took up the drums about six months ago. I follow many online teachers and just gravitate to ones that have a British accent. Just joking (parlty true) you are so concise and clear with your videos that I am learning all the time. Thank you. Oh and I love your humor. Cheers from Canada.
I’ve been working on exactly this all week (trying to stop bluffing my way through the bass drum 16th notes in the main beat in Smells Like Teen Spirit). I was really struggling to make progress past a certain tempo but this has helped so much! Not only do I know what to do, I also know how to diagnose it when it’s not working (my heel’s dropped or I’ve reverted to not using the toe). Fantastic!
You're a good teacher. Very articulate.
Very impressed with the clear explanation given in this video straight to the point and no woffle well done
Possibly your best technique video. Thanks for the careful explanation of a nuanced subject. Figuring out the world of kick drum double strokes can be so confusing! Much appreciated!!
wow thank you.....I discovered this technique by accident but then forgot about it. thank you for reminding me and also you are a great teacher
Ooooh, nice snare tone.
Love the fact your doing this in Dr Martens boots kudos
Thank you so much Emma.
Dr. Martins on the beater?
You rock by the way.
Both me and my 11 year old son love watching your content and have improved following along, thanks.
Great to hear!
Why do drummers not get taught this technique from day one?
Maybr Hand technique is better for beginners because its easyer to see whats going on, with rebound and stuff
My first drum teacher gave me Smells Like Teen Spirit as a first song to practice. I would always have inconsistent 16th notes because I was playing with my foot down.
Important to mention your pedal needs decent springs for this technique to feel good. Cheaper springs don't have much tension so you'll have to lift further to get the beater off of the bass drum head. As with everything, practice practice practice and find what works for you
Thank you, Emma. I've been a musician for nearly 30 years, picked up drumming about 6 months ago. Your videos have been instrumental (ba dumb bum- tiss) in my progression. This goes doubly for your kick drum lessons!
Before getting to far into one technique or another or all, you really should address Bass Pedal Spring Tension! THIS more than anything will get a drummer to the bass drum place they're striving for!
As an aside, it looks as if you have a lefty double bass pedal on your kit and I'm curious as to how you make that work on a righty kit?
Thanks!
Thank you for the input. I don't have issues with speed or accuracy on my bass drums. But every little bit helps. Take Care
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to find a video like this. ❤
The toe pedal is a nice lesson. Thank you, i gonna practice this.
Love your videos and especially appreciate this focus on technique!
Now, the question is..... can this be done in a pair of 3" heels! Haha.... snort. Great lesson, articulate and very complete. Also, that's quite a cymbal setup!
Great lesson. Good for Bonham technique. Or....."pre-1983" technique, before the dual pedal and you had to decide whether to commit to lugging a second kick drum around and hoping the stage was big enough. You're a great teacher. As a guitar player, I'd love to jam with you.
I never played heel down, and after 25 years it takes a lot of effort to do when needed!
heel up is very difficult to me but your awesome vids keep reminding me to practice it 🤟🏼
Me too. I started heel down at 13 and am now 43 trying to change it.
Thank you so much for this!❤ I have been having problems with shin ache with bass pattern for Deep Purple's 'Black Night' . I am definitely going to give this a try. Although, it might just be an age thing😢. 60 y.o. grannie.😂 Thanks again ❤
Thanks that was awesome
Can I add; Dropping spring tension, and raising your throne, such that the knee is slightly below the hip. Solid demo though🤘 Heel-toe feels great for songs like "Linoleum"
And there is no short cuts...
Question: In your opinion, what's the best double bass pedal out there, and the fastest? I am using Iron Cobras!
head tension also plays a part
I’m a huge Blondie fan, I’ve set myself a goal to play Dreaming, but struggling with some of the structure of the song, any pointers?
... because beginners often don't any movement
in their ankle
Heel down gets the ankle moving to begin with.
That looks like a backwards slide technique, where you tap with your toe down from the top of the pedal, then slide upwards and tap with the ball of your foot.
Kinamazin - mwah!
The issue I have is: now instead of my front calf getting cramped playing heel down, it's my thigh/hip getting cramped playing heel up. It's exhausting to my muscles holding my leg up off the ground so often.
try to relax/reset between hits
Also, leave beater head resting against bass drum head. This allows foot to rest on pedal!
Didn't know you played a double bass pedal.
Love those Doc Marten’s!
Can't be having ne'er-do-well bellies stealing your food in the background of your videos, Emma. It's unseemly, with the white socks and all.
That said, good one on the hoofing advice. Too few drum-kit lessons give this kind of detail on the hind-hoof-pounding required for modern music. In my playing prime, I was a monster with my forehooves, but - being po' and self-taught and never owning my own kit - my hind-hoof technique was not terrible, but it was inefficient enough to fill my perfectionist soul with contempt for my shortfall. This might have sorted me out back then. Keeping the kit properly rooted through the kick drum(s) is the key to making music with a beating heart and purpose. I'm sure you have done a lot of younger thumpers a great service with this installment.
Direct drive and chain pedals also change this
Another great technique is using that second kick pedal/beater 😏
Cheater!!🤣
LOL, don't sweat the JR thing. Some people are freaks. Your tips are for the rest of us.
What is up with your pedal. I see 2 beaters but only 1 footboard . And the footboard is making the left beaters swing. Normally that would control the right. ?????
Just a double pedal that I'm not using =)
The left beater will bounce and flop a little due to the force of using right beater. I call it "beater flop"😎👍
Please allow me to make a slight suggestion: instead of tbumb..."...the rule of toe...." would be more fitting like the cute leg of yours.
LOL! When it comes to absolute statements about drumming there is always going to be someone to come along to correct you. Good video though. Boots?
How about the swivel technique?
this was perfect timing! I was searching your newest video to request a lesson about bass drum and Bum! here it is. thanks!
Reliably a great educator. British Rob Brown dare I say.
6:19 🤘😆👍
Thanks for all you videos,very informative and helpful 👍😎
This is the best and most practical presentation of a topic that has been a problem for me. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you for the rare view of your kick foot and all the great drumming, of course
This is what excellent instruction looks like.
Excellent video!
So welcome
Exactly what I am working on and what I needed! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
what should i do if i have to play 3 bass drums in a row fast? trying to learn paranoid
Not to be cliché, but if you want to play fast, practice slow. Relaxed, fluid motion is how you achieve speed without getting sloppy. So you practice at whatever tempo will allow you to execute cleanly while staying completely relaxed, and gradually increase the tempo. 5-10 minutes per day without stopping (or stopping only as long as you need, if you get fatigued, tense up, or fall badly out of sync with the click), and bump up the tempo by 1 or 2 BPM every day.
As far as a specific technique goes, that sort of depends on what you already use, and how fast you can already play. Personally, I'd probably just play it heel down, but if you're a die-hard heel-up player, maybe try "bouncing" your leg by pushing off with the ball of your foot, and then letting your leg fall back down, on every note. So something in between full-on stomping (which is best suited for slower playing) and heel up ankle strokes (which is best suited for faster playing).
Bae I don't see HOW you do anything with those boots on!
Sheer will and determination 😂
@love_to_learn_drums wins out over natural talent every time lovely lady!
Great lesson. Also remind drums to not wear long pants as the beater might get snagged in your trousers.
Remember that "pants" and "trousers" mean different things to Brits. 🤣
Everyone always asks me why my right pants leg is rolled up halfway!
Drum Life!!😎👍
@@martf1061 I wore out so many Huffy bikes as a kid🤣🚲
Wish there were more female drummers teaching like this when I was younger. For some reason she just seems to explain things so much more clearly than other mostly male drum teachers.
