“It’s uncomfortable and it sucks!” Finally someone accurately describes practising double bass...

[@leandro5221]

hell yeah.. is a pain in the ass..

[@Michael_Michaels]

Said no one, EVER!

[@narrowway3532]

John is insane his double stroke smooth as silk 🤘🤘

[@chiefindisguise]

My favorite extreme metal drummer

[@yp02490]

i've watched like 20 videos on youtube about heel toe and this is the only one that explains how to get the second hit properly. everyone shows the motion and immediately start playing doubles with the heel in the air. thank you soooooooo much

[@drumtechniqueacademy]

Thank you for your feedback..glad you found it useful 🤟

[@LavidadelBeerto]

Tu canal es increíble, siempre te esfuerzas por enseñarnos los mejores tips, muchas gracias.

[@danewing4658]

Thank you Martin and John, finally a explaination on the double strokes, that is broken down that can be understood!!!

[@2Shine55]

AGREED! I wish videos like this were out back when I was drumming!

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

This is probably one of the most authentic and simplified, non-technical explanations i've seen on the Heel-Toe technique Which was amazing!!! 🤝🏼💯🔥

[@jessetarr2771]

Great drummer , great dude. I have SUCH respect for metal drummers!

[@RyoCanCan]

John Longstreth is amazing.

[@BaronVonTomas]

As an old thrash metal drummer, death core drummers blow me away!! I would have never thought to do that with my feet. John is an absolute beast and I love Origin!

[@Tordekh]

I haven't even finished watching the video and I'm loving it. Thank you very much for doing such as instructive video for us...the newbies on this 👌👍

[@willrockdesigns]

Thanks for what you do John and Marthyn.

[@millerandall4102]

One of the GREATs

[@samm1533]

Very helpful... Ive seen tons of youtube videos and I think he has explained them in best possible way (in such an extensively detailed a way I think I would've explained myself to students or my viewers if I were in his place)....

[@acedrum]

The secret to becoming great at brutal drumming. Practice for at least 3 months, 4-5 days a week, 3 hours a day. Then go and play live. 🙌

[@marcelszekowski315]

what

[@acedrum]

@@marcelszekowski315 did you watch and listen to the video? 8:36

[@andrewscottgreer]

Fuck thatd be so boring only doing heel toe for that amount of time hahaha id need weed and Adderall and like no family to support.

[@MeisterAudioWorks]

Methinks it was specifically in reference to how he developed his heel-toe from the ground up back in the mid 2000's. However, practicing on the schedule you mentioned will definitely help you improve (on anything, really).

[@acedrum]

@@MeisterAudioWorkshe says that schedule in the video, but yeah, do anything a lot practicing the right things and you can’t not improve at anything

[@blastbeatsgalore]

That exhumed show in OKC was my first metal show. Good times!

[@jaxdvr]

Very Helpful! I was thinking Psycho Holiday too right before you said it! Amazing job, best video Ive seen for heal toe. I used to do the constant down pressure too, that took along time to stop doing, I would push back in my seat too. Many thanks for this video! I learned from Derrick Roddy types, then when Cattle Decap and similar band came out with the double I was like hell I guess time to learn heal toe.

[@christianeasley767]

I LOST IT, JOHN!!!!! Good Morning/ Good Afternoon!!!!! LOVE YOU, BROTHER !!!!! ❤️🙏🥁🎶💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Thomas-se8ow]

John is such a nice man

[@SweetHomeAlex]

Great 🤘 Sadly no one mentions Hellhammer when talking about Double Strokes or Push Pull. I think he was the first Dummer in Extreme Metal to use these techniques.

[@sinnedam]

Great example. About to start working on this.

[@jamescon55]

Kinda funny I was "the guy" that asked/inquired with John after his Angel Corpse Exterminate recording session daze circa '98 about "IS IT DONE IN DM/BM DRUMMING?" (Double strokes on each kick drum).....And so, HERE we are NOW ......😏 (Thank gawd for triggers 😁) UNLESS you are Joe Stronsik and OR have size 13 feet that can pound out each of the notes/hits to be heard maybe I guess? 🤔

[@diegocalero9181]

Tnank you for show me!..now practice until well done! You are GORGEOUS!

[@mattthompsondrums]

Great! Thanks!

[@bannanateam]

Man... I need to get me some of those trick drums light weight beaters

[@coredrummer6632]

I believe those are ACD beaters. Those are the pedals John uses now, ACD pedals.

[@bannanateam]

@@coredrummer6632 oh really? Didn't even know that brand existed... They looked like the pro 1v beaters from trick drums

[@coredrummer6632]

@@bannanateam yeah they're a specialty pedal, I believe you have to put in a order specifically to the guy who created them, to build you the pedal how you want it. He's usually on the drum academy videos, I forgot his name.

@@coredrummer6632 Looked those up, they look fucking AWESOME. Adjustments in places I wouldn't think anyone would even think of.

[@toolband1992]

Amazing. F...ing love the technique and John being one best practitioner of said technique. Seen John and origin many times am like 95% laser focused on drums and him being so unique and creative with amazing brain and parts. I hope we can enjoy those days imminently. Can I ask what the highest speed you can go and do you think there is a ‘musical’/optimum point in bpm that you think anything past is pointless? Thanks again Martin for putting on the best drumming resource there is - especially for EMD. Stay safe and stand strong 💪🤘🤩

[@retepnosbig4859]

this is the only guy i've heard who's admitted how uncomfortable it is to perform these technique excercises. otherwise any beginner would just think they must be doing something wrong for it to hurt as much as is does 😄

[@F3PIZZA]

I have a hurt back and can no longer lift me heel off the ground. Do you think that a custom seat pad that lifts the feet off the ground would be something other drummers would be interested in?

[@DashCamExtrodinaire]

Do the certain beater hammers make a difference? Thanks for this video!

[@Doijatah]

What kind of shoes are you wearing?

[@KairuSumisu]

The rebound on your beaters is coming back even though your toes are still down on the pedal...

[@ralleralle8620]

how do u do this dgdgd at the beginning?👍🤟

[@thedeceased]

Dammit, that ending creeped me up haha.

[@crooked-5857]

I have dominators and I can heel toe on pearl p-930s but not my tricks. Im a size 13 shoe but I wear about 11s on the kit and no matter what I do I cant execute a heel-toe at all. Any advice you can give would really help. HUGE fan Marthyn!!

[@Crocodonk]

Big fan of John here. Do his doubles go RRLL or are the doubles doing a RLRL?

[@Craigblasts]

RRLL

[@Crocodonk]

@@Craigblasts Thanks man!

[@amneenja5720]

if you want someone who does RLRL check out Wanja Groger. He also has a fantastic push pull technique with his hands. very effortless, and surprisingly loud without triggers.

[@Automat1cJack]

@@amneenja5720Wanja's alternating doubles are spot on

[@sommie666]

My body refuses to understand how to get the heel stroke in. It's super frustrating.

[@rafal7m796]

Hi. what brand and model od those pedals ? :)

[@HexPanozDrums]

ACD Darwin

[@joshbarnowich3551]

How does your beater snap back after you press the pedal even if you’re holding the pedal down lol what is this sorcery!? Someone let me in on the secret

[@jonhattanrai]

What pedals do you use? They seem like the beater rebounds almost by itself. Looks way easier than my standard Ludwig pedal.

[@magnusolsen7283]

it looks like he uses trick dominator

[@leonidmelnikov4617]

John uses the Darwin pedals from ACD unlimited.

Space Pedals?

[@Deadlegs78]

@@alk3603 Yes, space! I have the impression that these pedals have a system to double the hits ... perhaps based on dynamics. I do not know...

@@alk3603 I've seen Aaron now. Use a style I don't like. Stroking the bass drums so softly is not for me.

@@Deadlegs78 yeah lol. He fakes 300 bpm and up. He'll choose between faking it and hitting the pedals with the force of a butterfly and let the triggers do the work
