[@mtgarrett]

Nice covering all the techniques. Just a clarification though on Wanja (if it hasn't already been pointed out) - He isn't doing RR LL like the other heel toe guys, he is alternating RLRL (Right heel, Left heel, Right toe, Left toe).

[@HenrySolly40]

Very helpful man. Thanks a lot.

[@GooseRider808]

Great video, I’ve been using the heel toe for a while now. No one ever taught me heel to o just mimicked what I was doing on my right foot for fast 16th note hits and that’s how that happened years ago. I am currently working on the raised heel ankle technique which is challenging to control but every day I see progress in control and with control comes speed. I never even knew about several of these other techniques.

@Erce Arslan what is your speed limit?

[@bobbyhilda5880]

Interesting as always. I am not sure now what exactly I am doing, but it is heel-up xD

[@richardmathes4383]

I find heel toe frustratingly impossible on regular sized foot pedals. The long pedals I can nail it all day in my sleep. Get on my normal set of dw3000 and I can't do it if I had to

[@buddyrichable1]

Metal drummers have amazing technique and speed. It’s a form of drumming with it’s own category. I would like to play more heel up (single pedal) but it creates a balance problem. I feel like I want to fall forward unless I have my left foot planted on the hi hat. Any tips and methods for balance control would be appreciated. Excellent video, well explained.

[@ErceArslan]

Thank you!🙏🏼 Did you ever tried sitting a bit higher to solve this problem?

[@pelvismc]

@@ErceArslan hi, really good video, but I would like to practice heel toe technique, it s not easy because we dont know if the springs pedals must be very tight or loose, and I dont have the first stroke with the heel, it s more the middle of the foot than the heel, is it normal? Thank you for yor help. It s strange as movement ! Have you got a leg movement with this technique ?

[@ErceArslan]

@@pelvismc thank you! I am not a master of this technique so it would be much better if you ask this question to the guys doing this pricesly on the video. They can help you🤘🏼

[@alxluthor]

So where should you adjust your drum seat?... I have very long legs... so I tend to adjust it fairly high... but is there a rule or something? Like where should your knees go? Above o below your weist height?

müthiş faydalı işler.. çok teşekkürler!

[@Stardust_Lei978]

Easiest way to improve speed with the flat foot is with ankle weights. Here’s how it works. Find where your limit is with flat foot (for example, 130 bpm) and then subtract 30 bpm. Now strap some ankle weights on and play at your new bpm for 24 bars. After that, take a 30 minute break, then do the same but up the click by 10. Repeat this until you can play at your original limit while wearing the ankle weights for 24 bars. After that, take the weights off, and now you’ll be able to play at your former limit with ease.

[@Zdifoem]

Hey erce! Thanks for the detailed information! But i have to say it is not easy to find your way with that many techniques! Which techniques do you use/recommend for which tempo? I am struggling to get just past 120 bpm and i am trying to build up speed with heel up ankle technique

[@ErceArslan]

You are welcome:) For around these tempos I recommend you to use leg motion mainly (like around 100-150 bpm) Of course continue working with heel up ankle motion technique too in these tempos as an exercise but you will feel more comfortable with leg motion

[@cumali273]

Çok özenli her yönüyle inceleyen bir ders olmuş. Merak ettiğim bir şey var ben hep çalarken tokmağı deriye yapışık tutuyorum ve daha rahat oluyor ama tokmağı deriye yapıştırmadan çalarken daha rezonanslı bir ses alıyorum.Siz çalarken hiç yapışık tutmuyorsunuz bunu nasıl sağlıyorsunuz? İşin sırrı nedir :)

[@ErceArslan]

Çok teşekkür ederim:) tokmağı, çalarken eğer deriye yapıştırabiliyorsanız bu pedal yayını bir hayli gevşek olarak kullanmaya alıştığınızı gösterir, aksi takdirde gergin yaylı bir pedalı bu şekilde kullanmak pek mümkün değil. Yayı bu şekilde kullanmanın kuvvetli tuşe elde edebilmek, groovy ritimleri daha rahat çalabilmek gibi avantajları olsa da, hızlı, slideları ve tripletleri vb. çalabilmeyi zorlaştırması gibi dezavantajları da vardır.12. dersim pedal ayarları ile ilgili olacak. Ses olarak; deriye baskı yapılıp titreşimi engellendiği için rezonanssız ses almak çok normal tabii.

Heyy, your intro sounds like "Manufaktur Replika Baptis" by Deadsquad

[@TheSlayerswe]

I play with heel up ankle motion using calves. But I feel it's very hard to get my left foot into that technique. It's hard to start out at pretty much all tempos. I can sometimes get a few consistent 8th note hits in with the left at around 190-210bpm but it's not that consistent and sometimes the beater doesn't go all the way. Got any tips on how to get my left foot to play it properly?

[@ErceArslan]

Hello, sorry for late answer. Slave foot is all of our problem:( you can do the main exercises for the left foot which I have explained on my first tutorial video of this serie. I will make a separate tutorial video for this topic too.

[@timetoshred2461]

[@frankburdodrums8984]

Dude you should take up tap dancing bro. You would definately be the world's greatest. In any case first time I heard anyone call it the swivel technique. Also glad you mentioned it last because.... I think you eventually get to this after you hit the wall of your speed with leg motion or technique 3. Some of these guys are nauseously fast. Maybe that's the point for some of the satanic death metal I don't know.

[@Drumsholic]

I think that Nicko Mc Brain from Iron Maiden has his own technique to play doubles with just a single pedal!!

Hello, your tutorial are awesome, ist's possible to have french subtitles ? There are no many tutorials in French on youtube

[@mookibois9784]

How do you get your bass to sound like that?

[@ErceArslan]

You have to know the exact microphones and where to exactly put them for your kick drum. Needs lots of testing.. Also preamps, cables, AD/DA, compression and EQ settings very important.

[@mookibois9784]

@@ErceArslan Is there any way to get it to sound like that just as the drum itself without any microphones? I also made this comment expecting to be ignored and i literally have a thousand other questions, could i hit you up on say instagram?

[@ErceArslan]

@@mookibois9784 Without any microphone unfornutately not. You can use just triggers instead of microphones but it sounds not like on this video, i mean it doesn't sound natural and organic.

I will create content related to your questions, plus there will be lots of recording, mixing lessons too which I will not publish anywhere just patreon.

@@ErceArslan alright thank you!

[@steve_matin]

Erce I'm loving this series. I actually noticed that I tend to use more hip flexor with my left foot while my right foot is almost exclusively ankle. Would you say this is a bad thing? Would it make sense to learn to use the same muscle groups in both legs?

[@ErceArslan]

Thank you! That's because your left ankle is much weaker than your right. I recommend you to strengthten the slave side's weakness as much as you can.

[@tozik1392]

Hey, I have a Ludwig double pedal, and its right pedal is fine, but the left pedal is very sluggish (hope that's the right word). I have to kick it very hard to get a sound. I think the problem is in the articulations (again a word I had to translate from Google, hope it's right). I tried to oil it but it didn't help anything. Should I just buy a better double kick like that Tama Speed Cobra? I'd appreciate any tips. Btw this is the best double bass drum tutorial series ever! PS.

[@ErceArslan]

This problem occurs in low quality twin pedals. Even the high quality ones have almost always lag because of the friction force in the connection unit, but it doesn't effect playing that much. You can check out my 19th lesson for further information.

If I am getting shin splints from practicing double Bass- what am I doing wrong? which technique would you recommend using to avoid shin splints?

Shin splints is about bones, not muscles. None of these techniques causes shin splints. Can you describe what and how you are doing with detailed information?

[@heidikorte8948]

Erce Arslan thank you :) I was practicing double kicking an hour a day in sock feet and now am getting pain up the front of the legs. I have taken a break and am doing shin stretches and am drumming in good shoes now.... wondering if my chair angle is off as well? Using alot of ankle...

[@25stealthshooter]

So funny how you mention how it’s unnatural feeling (heel toe) while I have the heel toe down pretty much up to like 220 plus bpm but I want to learn the swivel and it’s impossible for my feet to do that motion.

[@ErceArslan]

such kind of things are never impossible for human body i guess:)

[@25stealthshooter]

@@ErceArslan Yes agreed. The main reason I want to learn either ankle motion or swivel is because there’s such a stigma behind the heel toe technique. I do play loud doubles but still get so much shit from other people who think it’s cheating in a way lol

[@ErceArslan]

@@25stealthshooter nothing is cheating.. it's ridiculous:) you can even stroke weaker on fast tempos but you are hitting every single note.
