DOUBLE STROKES TECHNIQUE / HEEL-TOE [Extreme Drumming]

You know you’re a metal drummer when 180 and 220 bpm is considered slow

@@joelansinger8527 Check out what John Longstreth is doing with this technique. He gets the power on both strokes. It's a slight variation on this. But keep in mind that even he uses triggers, because if he didn't, his speed would be a muddle on an acoustic kit. This technique has been developed for speed. An acoustic bass drum, by its very nature, is compromised at these speeds. Triggers are the only thing that will make the speed negotiable, irrespective of the foot technique.

His pedal is crucial. Can only truly get that technique down that well with that kind of pedal. I was using an iron cobra and couldn’t do even close to this.. then I got a direct drive with no heel plate and it’s effortless. Triggers are absolutely needed for this as well.

[@wouterdevroye1411]

@@darkwill15 Try the ankle technique, that works with chain driven pedals and you can play until 240 a 250 bpm without triggers. Faster as well, but then the definition of the sound gets blurry. And less volume as well.

[@ThomasCremier]

To be honest, I can do the same thing on my Pearl Eliminator, chain drive, short board. It won’t be as comfortable yes. But I can play the same thing. Gear is just a tool. Without technique you won’t play faster or better if you just have a better pedals or any equipment. Give a beginner guitarist the greatest guitar on earth, he won’t make it sound great, at the contrary. But give the cheapest guitar to a pro guitarist, he will make it sound good and transfer emotions 😊 But what I can say about triggers, is that it is necessary for fast tempos, whatever technique you are using (swivel, heel toe, heel up, heel down….). Or else, it will be a buzzing sound. Triggers are needed for fats tempo to be heard and having the precise attack 😊.

I See this first Time. This is unbelievable

[@chriss2507]

Also a big thanks from my side! Seeing the double kicks in 'slomo' really helps. I always hit my heel hard before but yours doesn't even touch the floor 🤔 But I got an important question regarding this technique (at least for me it is) - what size are your feet? I have 45 (EU)/ 10.5 (US) and always felt like my feet are too big, even also using the bigger CK-Pedals ...

[@kyrieeleison3355]

I have a similar issue, since I’m a size 11 US, but since you’re using pretty much your whole foot for the first note, most pedals should do. If that isn’t enough, try longboards. They’re multiple inches longer than standard ones, so they are more comfortable and easier to play on.

[@ThomasCremier]

NerDrums I wear 42 (EU), I think it’s 9 (US), I was able to play this technique is short board pedals, and because my foot is half out of the pedal, my foot size doesn’t matter very much I think :)

[@dclong-]

Automatic sub. I doubted in another video. Instead of getting mad and leaving a rude comment, he politely explained then directed me to this video! I apologize for doubting and I'm impressed with your humility. Absolute professional. Godspeed brother.

[@ThomasCremier]

Thank you so very much my friend ! 🙌🏻 Happy to read this comment, and really glad this allows you understand completely the technique and how it is done 😊 There’s nothing wrong doubting, the greatest thing (you’ve done) is to seek the answer without blocking your mind ! 😊 Thank you for this ! And thank you for the support ! Cheers from France !

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

Dude, you make it sound so easy and clean! I wish I would have learned this.

[@ThomasCremier]

Thanks a lot man !!! It asked a looooooot of work and dedication. Even now you can learn it ! The most difficult is to be able to understand the motion, but after, it is only pleasure 😇

@@ThomasCremier oh hey guy I must have learned it not long after this because it seems like lv been doing it for a while now but yeah it’s one of those things that once you learn it you’re like how come I had such a hard time getting that it seems so easy haha.

Merci beaucoup !! Ca me fait plaisir de lire ça ! Le but est atteint 😉 Travaille-bien \m/

[@woocash80]

It must be said this is great when you're using triggers. I'm all for brute force when playing double kicks. No triggers, just pure sound. Great technique nonetheless. Would love to be able to play like that!

[@ThomasCremier]

You're totally correct ! This technique isn't aimed at all for power and brute force, but for speed, precision and stamina. Physically, it's impossible to play at extremely fast tempos while having power, so it's one or the other 😉 Cheers from France !

[@barryjohnson5288]

I'm just starting out with the drums, i have a long way to go before i master this technique.

[@ThomasCremier]

Take the time ! But you'll see, with practice and perseverance, you'll get it !!! Keep drumming ! Do not lose your motivation !

holy shit! this is so impressive, I have never been able to drum that fast after 14 plus years of drumming (not trained, just kind of self taught and messing around with my buddies) Your kit sounds excellent. You must go through a crapload of bass heads lol. What pedal is that? I'm still using the old double Pearl Eliminator... its a good pedal but I'm curious which one yours is

I'm pretty sure that's an Axis pedal. They're like $500 new unfortunately 😭
