For anyone struggling to get it down, I'm literally sitting on the set right now and I might have a helpful tip for you. If you focus too much on the actual sliding of your foot, you'll get tripped up. Concentrate on this: hit the bass drum once from the middle of the pedal and then move to the top of the pedal to strike once more. Start slow. Think middle, top, middle, top over and over and it might help! It did for me!

I luckily learned this technique very early on but I can only do it with my shoes on. Barefoot or with socks feels a little off

[@TheCrayonMan529]

His shirt is really tight

[@lightningjet9444]

Unfortunately the problem with this technique is that it rather depends on the shoes you have on. If the bottom of that shoe has too much grip it can change the effectiveness of this

Sounds like a heart beat when it's at full speed and slowed down 33%

[@lobbyrobby]

I'm just a beginner but this actually feels natural to me. It only took a couple of tries to get the motion. I'm not saying I'm doing it 100% correctly or super fast but it feels good so far

[@altickafd6783]

Thank you so much! Oh my god, I felt lost with Jared's technique. I'm a heel up player so it felt terribly unnatural playing the heel toe method. This is definitely gonna help.

[@Shurmstick]

I tried that but I I have to keep picking my foot off the pedal to slide it Forward because my pedal has rubber on it

[@prettyruude1]

I thought most people were heels up drummers 🤔

[@jayroll005]

how much does footwear affect your playing? in terms of the slide technique?... might sound foolish to ask. thanx...

[@HotJamStudios]

Great video, great technique!!

[@angieb8950]

I learned heel toe first but I'm finding it really hard to alternate between single stroke and heel toe strokes, as I am a "beginner" heel up drummer. Thanks for this lesson!

[@stixxnstonerz3450]

I develope the slide on my own too. No one showed me or told me about it. Being a self taught drummer in the 80s there was no youtube. I've since learned the heel toe method from a video from Joe Stronsick in the 90s, called ballistic bass drums. But i am now having to relearn the slide technique again for certain patterns. Do what works for you!!!

[@loombaron]

thanks I was looking for this!

[@joshkeeley1984]

Dude, thanks a lot! Great instructional vid on this technique (slow motion was well needed too). Drumeo is my go to for drumming!

[@kpec3]

This is the best video on this technique. The best breakdown of the motion. Thanks!

[@joshuachan56]

@jayroll005 Yes it does. It will be easier to slide if you wear shoes than barefooted because barefoot has more friction. The surface of the pedal also affect the playing too. The smoother the board, the easier for your feet to slide.

[@goooooorkyo]

odd, I do the opposite to this and get the same effect. I slide backwards on the double kick for speed, and according to Ryan Greene, who watched me play a while back, it's the same technique that Eric Sandin uses.

[@bball98038]

Thanks man! I'm gonna learn this right now! I just hate the heel toe technique
