Dude Eugene, This video has helped me tremendously just over the past 3 days. I've been spending about 3-4 hours a day switching between constant 16th double bass, to working single foot / double foot ankle motions, etc. My progress has been amazing, I can't wait to see where I'll be in 3 months. I hope your life is filled with nothing but gorgeous women and glorious endeavors. Much love from Texas.

[@MoltiSanti]

This is honestly the best video I've seen in terms of visual and audio tips. Thank you for including beater angle/distance, spring tension, foot board height, as well as overall posture. Lately I've been messing around a lot with posture and adjustments to comfortably play and practice with more of the ankle technique - I'm used to flat-footed and using my whole legs/hip flexor muscles and just barely reach 200 BPM.

A+ presentation. I'm going to put your advice to good use! I've been using a "hybrid" technique of heel toe on my left foot while playing on the ball of my right foot toward the bottom of the footboard. It has given me a noticeable boost in speed when I need it but I feel like I'm cheating. I've heard of the swivel method but this has given me motivation to put it into practice.

[@4got2sleep7]

It is so sad, "practice in slow tempos 180". My max is 145-150 :D

[@YaDingus]

140 - 150 bpm is where a lot people cap at because your technique needs to change around then. Your hip flexors need to act as suspenders for your legs rather than being a source of power. Then all your power and control should come from foot, ankle, and calf. Basically, at faster speeds (140+), your quads and knees need should be fixed at one position rather than moving up and down. 5:37 is a perfect example.

[@matthewdavis7674]

DueyTait-Pastor very well put!

[@singaporeghostclub]

I have been practicing on my new Yamaha DFP9D pedals at 140 bpm for 5 mins. Hip flexors are burning. 🤣 Now to the next level - ankle and swivel!

[@antondubkov]

@@YaDingus I see this a lot on the internet that if someone can't play fast it's because they are using full leg motion -- that's definitely not the only reason (I'm sure everyone who is trying to figure out how to play faster is more than aware of leg vs ankle). For me - I using ankle technique 100% (i use leg only for extremely slow stuff like 100bpm, anything moderate or faster -- only ankle) and my max is still at around 160-170 bpm (i can do bursts at 200 though). I don't think it's leg vs ankle - a lot of people play with full leg at over 200 bpm (for example watch a studio video of Jay Weinberg playing Unsainted with double bass over the verses kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGjMioGAlM2ohpI, that's 205 bpm or smth -- full leg motion). I personally sort of solved this for myself by figuring out how to play doubles (heel-toe), so here's an example of me playing a 190bpm song with double strokes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXCo5qrl9aJZsk

[@YaDingus]

@@antondubkov You're right, there are multiple ways to achieve higher bpm double bass. Once I reach about 140 bpm I began to switch to more ankle movement but I'm still using some higher leg motion for balance and control. It's the same technique Marthyn Jovanovic. The, of course, around 190 I'm all ankle. I notice you keep your pedals pretty close to the thrown which is what I use to do, but now I keep them quite further away which is WAY more comfortable for higher BPMs. Awesome performance, by the way! Does a different drive shaft make a difference? I was thinking about converting my Speed Cobras to direct drive.

[@DPDC2011]

Best one I've seen! Forget double bass with doubles! I was struggling with just the double stroke. First thing I did was go down, crank the tension, and bring the beaters back. I already feel a difference. More control, and better rebound. I'm a guitarist that converted, and I've struggled with some concepts behind the kit. Thank you!

[@xxraddrummerxx]

Dude, this is by far the best video I've seen on real uses. Where to sit on the throne is a huge thing that a lot of people dont cover!

[@lucekthesatan4690]

I consider that video not only enjoyable to watch, but also the best video about Double Bass on yt. I'm playing now almost 3 years, first two on roland drums, never really practiced speed of double bass as a pure "separate" exercise, it was coming along with practise for songs that I wanted to play ( spend a hell of a time learning painkiller intro for example). I changed electronic set for acustic drums at the end of august this year. On acustic drum you've got to punch harder than on the trigered pad, therefore I didn't had the stamina for fast playing. I starded from 150 bpm (16th notes). At that speed I was able to maintain stable 30 min double bass without interruption. I played at that speed for 2 weeks everyday, 30 min long (preceded by 15 min warmup with various double bass beats) and jumped for 160 bpm. And then there is the list: 160 bpm - one week 165 bpm - one week 170 bpm - two weeks 175 bpm - one week 180 bpm - I'm starting second week now I'm playing for 30 minutes everyday, and I don't jump 5 bpm faster until I don't feel quite relaxed at certain speed. I'm going for 210 bpm for now, thanks Eugene you've showed the right way, just sit and play :D Ohh and I've got crappy pedal worth about 80 $ newdeal.home.pl/matrix/stopa518/1.jpg Greetings from Poland, hope you like I shared my thought

[@Cryptic_Goathammer]

What muscles do you use from 150 to 180 bpm ? Only calves or a mix of calves and quads ?

[@xXGyakusatsuXx]

i play my drums for 8+ years now. i never ever lost a thought about sitting right. you changed my life. now i can hammer my double bass not faster, but for way longer time with way more precision. i know, maybe i sound like a positive thinking bot, but trust me, i am not. thx for this vid. you changed my life.

[@Adrien-Drums]

Hey Eugene, Great video, thanks for those advices. I was wondering, I'm not yet at the speed of 170. I'm for now confortable at 140, and sometimes I can reach 160. I was wondering what technique should I use at those speed. I mean, when are you switching to the swivel technique ? I play mostly heel up or flat foot. Do you think It's good to practice heel up until 170 and then switch to Swivel ? I hope I have been clear enough haha. Last question, you talked about endurance, but what about control ? I mean, I'm able to go at 160, for like 1 or 2 minutes, but it's impossible for me to play a song At 160 bpm with stuff like syncopation on the feet or you know, particular kinda jent beats. any hint ?

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Make sure you watch this one if you need control kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDNk4Gqisppm68 You can do full leg until 180 with ease. + you can do endurance at slower tempos, not a problem.

[@Adrien-Drums]

Already did ;). thanks ! I have already improved my control thanks to your advices ! will you make a video on tips/exercices for finger/hand technique (I have seen the advanced hand techniques, but I dont really know how to practice speed & control with fingers...). Will you go to the NAMM show this year ?

[@RD-ry6ei]

[@drumsalot76]

What I appreciate about this video is how honest and real it is. We are all just wanting to be great drummers. So by listening /watching this video, I was taught to let my guard down. I do need to practice more. Because every single one of us knows that practicing absolutely WILL make us better. And he tells us that in a non threatening way. No drummer that we love, be it George Kollias, or jazz drummer Jeff Hamilton sat down on a drum seat, and played like that without deciding that this is what I want to take as far as I possibly can in life. If anybody reading this hasn't heard jazz drummer Jeff Hamilton. Do it. Nit one person that truly appreciates what and how important the drums are to music in general, will not be blown away by this unassuming 60 something year old play drums in a way that will have you showing all of your musician friends. It's amazing how different drums can be played. He truly proves that the drums are an instrument, not just a beat keeper. There is a 3 part interview with him that you'll find just by using the search engine on KZbin. He says alot of things in other videos that Eugene speaks about in this one. Like the importance of balance, and staying loose. It's awesome to see 2 expert drummers that play a totally different style, say so many things that are basically identical in meaning and purpose. I needed you Eugene.! You have revived the emotions of drumming in me that I myself had forgotten existed. A heart felt Thank You Sir.!

[@nenissaK]

This is so cool.. I started to learn heel-toe single technique three months ago (wanja gröger a.k.a. morganvanhelsing on KZbin "taught" me :D). A month ago I couldn't do 170 bpm for 10 minutes, now I can do 190 for 10 minutes and 180 for 30 minutes. Now when I practise I start daily with 150 bpm 10 minutes, 160 bpm 10 minutes, 170 bpm 20 minutes and then 180 30 minutes. After that today I did 3x1 minute 190 bpm (rested for a while in-between) and then could do 10 min 190 bpm for the first time. What did I learn? It Doesn't Matter if you don't see "visible" progress every day - what you Can see is that you'll be able to play cleaner and "easier" and with less tenseness and louder with the familiar tempos. At first, though, I just spent hours and hours watching my feet (either right of left, playing with one foot at a time) and tried to make it look and feel and sound sensible when first learning the heel-toe single technique. I hope this helps someone. This video is all True. Thank you!

[@samaellouwen8837]

You are a legend Eugene. Great skills and real world advise for everyone plus a rockin mo!! Awesome work.

[@the1realanalogman]

Tremendous tutorial! Well ordered and articulate! I haven't played in many years, but this has me fired up. Thanks!

[@YodaMan-420]

excellent advice throughout this whole video. i played/practiced for 2 years before i was able to hold 16th notes at 120bpm for more than 5 minutes. so for those that think its easy...its not. but its worth it if you stick with it. and hes 100% right. doing it correctly at slower tempos is much more productive than doing it wrong at faster tempos..you wont learn anything like that.

[@thomasmacgillavry701]

I'vr been playing for a bit less than a year and made it up to like 110 bpm for endurance, but I can get up to 135 sometimes. What do you think is more important though? Practicing double bass techniques, or practicing rudiments. I want to play prog rock/metal, what would be best to practice to play this genre?

[@thomasmacgillavry701]

Eugene Ryabchenko Thanks m8 :) btw, have you ever considered covering Nile?

[@thomasmacgillavry701]

Eugene Ryabchenko Can't wait to see that :D

[@its_not_fair9866]

Played horror games while exercising, every time I felt nervous tempo sped up

[@covablava]

After a couple of years of frustration now im starting a new age of speed. Im very happy for that. Thanks Eugene!

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Glad to hear that too.

[@josealvarado9964]

You are "the man" .. dude never been so motivated to start my improvement on double bass pedal thanks a lot

[@googlesistgooglesist4376]

excelent!!!!

[@demirelturkmanovic5449]

My god those Demon drive pedals look like the are smooth as hell :O

[@giveitarub7215]

I'm new to drumming, just got a roland td 11k a few days ago and wanted to see how smooth the pedals were after reading this comment, and i realized that i actually bought these pedals lol

[@giveitarub7215]

Eugene Ryabchenko Yeah, i'm still learning how to use them well, i've tried adjusting springs but the left one is always a bit harder to use than the right pedal. Also i can only do a 180 bpm pattern for a short time and thats with my feet flat, cant do it with my heels up for some reason :/ Need more muscle im weak and out of shape atm

[@giveitarub7215]

***** If only i could with an electronic :P

[@gideonruben187]

Demirel Turkmanovici I have a set of dual pedals that are smooth but not so fucking smooth as this 1

Teachers, professors, people who offer education of any kind whatsoever, take heed...for this man is the true master of the art of teaching and motivating! Really man, thank you very much for this video, your advice has already caused a great difference in my playing (for the better, of course). And you know, i'm certainly still counting, so to speak :)

[@iantouzel638]
