Thanks Josh new subscriber - thank you for great lesson. Love your laid back style and giving nature. Also, can you say why you seem to prefer Peavey Cirrus basses, which are now discontinued. Thank You.

Evan Brewer does this all the time, i always wondered: ''How the f*** is he doing that?'', ''Is he double thumbing and adding a pluck to make those triplets...?'' Recently i realized that was with hammer ons. I used to do: ''Hammer on, thumb down and thumb up'' and that pattern definitely doesn't give the triplet feel. Now i know. A thousand thanks Josh!

Thanks Josh well done , this sounded great even though I cant seem to get my thumb to double thump.My very first bass back in 1980 was a Peavey Patriot bass , wish I still had it , I didn't know what I had at the time.

problem is when i change from the double thumb to regular slapping technique i have to change the angle of my right hand which slows me down...i must be doing something wrong..

Does the double thumb technique wear down the fingernail on your thumb? That's what is happening to me. Is this normal? Am I doing it wrong? Should I adjust my technique? Should I call my doctor?

For me personally, it definitely scratches it up a bit, but if you're actually significantly wearing down the nail then I'm not sure! Try working up gradually, just do it a few minutes a day at first. I'm not sure how a doctor would help. If you have really soft nails in general then you might want to address that nutritionally (fruits and veggies baby!), but of course I'm not giving medical advice or anything.
