Fast Double Technique on a Single Bass Drum Pedal

This is one technique I use when playing fast doubles on a single bass drum pedal. I am using a direct drive Raptor single bass drum pedal by Mapex.

Oh thank God, I thought it was my earbuds I just bought these recently thanks for the comment

[@fabienlabbe7349]

I see my problem now. I need to upgrade my shoes.

[@rikarddrum]

The sweet spot is the area or position on the footboard where the foot feels most neutral for that particular technique. The pedal and set-up along with different techniques will determine where the sweet spots is. Remember no one technique is better than another. The trick is to learn many techniques and determine which of those work best for you and your drumming.

Rikarddrum As fine of a bd technique lesson as I've seen! Tremendously efficient, intuitive and the end result speaks for itself! Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! After hours of trying to grasp the subtle but essential second movement, you explain it so well that I finally was able to do it on the first try (sloppy at first but still). That's a whole new level that you helped me unlocked . TY again :D

[@chimetimepaprika]

Anyone who can kick in dress shoes like that isba true master.

[@amandafry5428]

Thank you! This was super helpful! Can't wait to try this technique!

[@temecialane8131]

I am so excited to come across your video. This is definitely a game changer for me and I Thank you for this awesome lesson.

[@Ranger1216]

An excellent explanation…..will work on the techniques exactly as demonstrated in the video….Thanks…

[@JimsMusicLegacy]

😀Best technique for doubles on a pedal that I've seen yet! The other techniques have been a real struggle for me.

[@giuseppestivala4538]

Thanks for the video. Very clear and useful explanation. 👍

[@RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

Great technique! Bravo!

[@BlossomMediaStudio]

Incredible dude, I’m going to practice!

[@user-ur4kv1yh7q]

Thank you for your help. I'll do my best!😀

[@love1another]

Awesome training video and thx for sharing Rikarddrum

[@jeremylarue4503]

Super helpful video. I've always skipped the ball of my foot up the board... this is so much easier and faster.

[@mariomusico2010]

Amazing speed!! Nice!!

[@tommyb1845]

u opened my eyes my friend. thank you

[@user-dj2if6wc8f]

But closed your right ear

[@pitikhagood]

Awesome tutorial!!! thanks!

[@briiakarii]

This is so helpful ❤

[@MariaElena-qw1lp]

Asombroso! Vale la pena intentarlo.

[@jameshetfield1792]

Amazing..thx for sharing

[@gnusmas1914]

this helped me in 20min what i have done in 1yr thank's

[@cozorio100]

Great video

[@josephgurzynski1053]

Great tutorial!!! I only wish you showed us what the beater was doing. Cheers...

[@leogomes8909]

Fantastic

[@pcbw75]

Great video! Can you please do a vid with out your shoes to see the actual movement and placement of the technique? :) Thank you!

[@johnmackenzie3246]

Awesome! I wonder if it is the same as the rocking' motion (constant release) technique implemented at a very high speed?

[@ericspurlock7775]

Really good video one of the best I've seen keep up the good work

[@Plydrms]

Some drummers have been showing me the slide technique, which you mentioned at the beginning. They mostly describe the sweet spot further up the pedal then slide forward. How do you come up with your sweet spot and why you think this technique is better?...thanks!

[@damienpolizzi1397]

C'est vraiment impressionnant. C'est très très dur à réussir. Je n'y arrive toujours pas malgré des mois d'entraînement

[@user-zx6lf5so4w]

Very cool

[@obsidiandrums8669]

Awesome!!

[@ttown55]

Nice wing tips bro!

[@schmidfarms1702]

Nice!

[@johnmackenzie3246]

Probably one of the best ways to play "Good times, bad times" ?!

[@Pro1938ftc3ch]

@Amino Gaming I don't get it why do people want to play like him or any other drummer just play how you play

[@muuriciodegollada3870]

Thank you can you do video on triple bass strokes

[@renecarcamo9388]

Another very important point is that the beater is very low so that you have much more bounce. So lower your beater as much as you can

[@velartt]

my left ear enjoyed it (:

[@SAM-xj6mo]

Yep up & down with a pivot… Nice

[@rikarddrum]

Raptor by Mapex.

[@jamesthefirst_8147]

my left ear enjoyed that

[@denmarkmontano5533]

Nice

[@aggelossamaras7849]

tight the springs!!!

[@SAM-xj6mo]

Oh shit!!! I’ve just watched this & tried it on my electric drums & it works!!! So right!! Find that spot & hit it twice on the way down OMG!!! Yeeeah

[@3000DanielGT]

Nice shoes

[@dmguk9931]

so the first strike is done with the heel up higher?

[@aadeismael2412]

yeaah rptor mapex is great

[@gnusmas1914]

and i bet you like the spring loose, the mapex raptor are fast .my spring loose as a goose ...

[@waguinbatera8984]

Esse pedal eo p1000 falcom????? 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@MaxHogendijk]

play this technique for years, without lessons, its most natural for me.

[@TronciM]

Max Hogendijk yep

[@TheStudioDrummer]

Dig it!

[@evanwinters677]

Imagine if he was just doing a single bass and doubles on a practice pad 😂 all jokes aside this is sick

[@86davy]

You have to explain what an ankle shot is

[@Juli-gd7pf]

My right ear is jealous

[@juanescobar6086]

Does anyone know the name of this technique?

[@linotabuzo8344]

Nc shoes bro

[@gnusmas1914]

i have the same pedal LOVit

[@bapaboop]

We're their stick involved the 32nd's making it countinous?

[@rikarddrum]

Yes, just in order to help hold a groove.

[@Nathan-pq5jg]

Watched this on play speed 0.25. Since I can't see the beater head, looks like the sound of the first stroke is coming when the foot is going up which is very confusing. How can the beater make a hit when the foot is going up?

[@johnmackenzie3246]

Because of the knee action!

[@brehoffm]

He explains it at @2:45, his leg/foot is coming down the entire time. Midway down he hits with his ankle/toe, then he locks his foot to get the second hit.

[@koitorio6746]

Thought my earphone broke.

[@pomat22]

Funny that i came with this technique myself playing on shitty kits all the time. It's exactly that!!!

[@ozunkeskin6919]

i played the video on my phone now it speaks backwards

[@gregjackson3192]

What pedal are you using?

[@pasindusathsara1712]

❤

[@geraldbuhiagahiraiii7549]

but it is depend on what pedal ur using

[@Nexcelasershock40]

That’s why the old rock band pedal breaks up? I’m grateful Harmonix/EA has upgrade their pedal since the RB2’s bundle release but only downgraded in Special Value Edition bundle (for Beatles: R.B).

[@metaldrumkiller2558]

i wont be able to tho that because i don't have that kind of fancy shoes like yours😝😎🤘🏻

[@christophersmith5264]

If you had triggers it would sound cleaner and really give it that dubble kick sound

[@aarbor6606]

I understand what to do I just cant

[@bkripto]

Awesome lesson of a bit of your knowledge for the class! Add to that your experience, skill & talents, with a developed technique and unique intricacy. Soon a student of yours will be teaching! THIS comment is to compliment your selflessness and share, iterate my respect of your gifts and to make a slight suggestion, I hated this word "constructive" & "critism"! It's not that at all! It is in an area that I can teach class about. Can you record these in 44Khz/16bit or at 96Khz/24bit, in Stereo (Dolby or DTS), recorded at a Volume Unit (VU), input level @ -4db to -12db, & at an output level of -1.3db to -6db (VU), well MAYBE this can be maxxed at 0db for teaching, NEVER for production tho! YOU ROCK! scratch that!! YOU METAL!!!

[@ozunkeskin6919]

the sound of the video is weirdly coming from the BACK of the phone

[@paolofabriciobertucciamado7778]

A Lot of Gre to Say Gregorio

[@7barney914]

anyone mastered this?

[@patrickdrummer84]

😃

[@b1akn3ss93]

I need to get out of the habit of doing it backward … Basically heel first toes up then toes down kinda combining two techniques (eg. Gravity leg vs ankle joint movement ) not the best if you don’t want them to have different tones on each beat TBH… I’m using an Alesis E kit

[@80122]

Funny at 0,5 x Speed

[@gas_station_za]

now you don’t need to spend 200 dollars on a double kick

[@jeffw1976]

I call that the g spot

[@pawellavigne566]

My left headphone is not working so I guess I won't hear this

[@cookieboy519]

At 4:47 when he's done playing the doubles you can hear his sticks

[@moe.79]

Caleb Johnson man real drummers know his foot still hitting the double beat. Stop hating

[@mister96783]

I can play doubles as fast as my sticks can go too...lol

[@byllgrim6045]

"step one: put your foot on the sweet spot of the logo, where the foot feels natural" thankfully, the video wasn't too shit after this. My speed improved. Thanks

[@joli78363]

Did ya give your shoes 👞 a shine? I see it's the wax that helps slip..and slide okay baby yea..

[@verolyn8459]

My only problem is my pedal sucks.

[@eelamite]

hope this doesn't go out of my right ear

[@josemiramontes1358]

P

[@catrinemiranda9752]

What are thoooooooooooose

[@tomsmith29]

try that on a real bass drum with no bounce

[@dirkslipperypeanutdiggler9211]

Really looks and sounds like he's hitting a pad off cam. =/

[@allhavesaidtheirprayers3434]

Does anyone else play better in just their socks?

[@jeanrepetto]

show your whole pedal in the vid and then i will believe you...

[@moe.79]

jeana repetto you just suck at drumming

[@cia712]

He didn't have his other pedal, you can see that his other foot remains still throughout the video.

[@alexsokolov330]

Для барабанщиков, которые хотят чётко ухватить технику работы стопы на педали, надо внимательно посмотреть на работу перкуссионистов работающих на конгах. Технику работы кистей рук надо перенести на стопы. И вам цены не будет.
