Man the independence while the left foot plays clave is unreal.

First time I've seen a foot percussion pedal collection video. Appreciate you making this and I enjoyed your tips and seeing the pedals in use.

[@jtf9670]

musically dynamic and technically challenging for sure. much more impressive than playing 32nd notes at 120bpm at full volume. respect

Nice, useful selection of foot-activated percussion gear. I used to play percussion for dance classes at NYU and I relied a lot on using both feet to enhance my sound. I was one of the only drummers there at that time doing this, and it truly gave me a 'leg-up' on the competition... ;) Q: do you ever strap shakers or other gear directly to your ankles when playing? I found that getting a small selection of dollar store adjustable dog collars was useful, along with some scrap lengths of heavy duty velcro. I was able to get very good direct control of Meinl shakers, 'goat toes' and also a hi-hat-topper-tambourine that I rigged for my left foot; without having to carry and extra pedal around... My percussionists motto: "All You Need Is Feet"...

Great tips, thanks

[@Chrisadizzle]

Just what I needed. You’re the man, Rick!

[@briankirk114]

Beautiful work. Great videos. I learned a great deal. Thank you

[@HuckFinn212]

Great drumset for a even greater player!

[@jean-charlesmeunier6529]

Great video! Thanks! Very instructive 😊

[@russ6541]

thanks rick. i absolutely love your sound, i pray that one day i'll have collected as much equipment as you have

[@idigbebop]

Before careful what you pray for. Drum equipment is habit forming. Hah.

[@robbymayer5987]

I would love to see the foot triangle!

[@rickdior]

Or the foot guitar

[@idigbebop]

Great demonstration, Rick. Gosh what would we do without the LP Company. Thanks for this.

[@ACLOCKWORKDRUMMER]

Rick the great dior!

[@josephg.bradetich3064]

Thanks again have a few of them

[@BradfordGuy]

Mean drumming skills! *Your sizzling China cymbal is the deal and sounds just incredible! What brand and model is it?* Your videos have introduced me to many percussion instruments I had no prior knowledge of and that has enriched my sound pallete greatly. Thank you!

[@davidtorras5556]

Thank you❤

[@aledum1815]

Cheers.

[@eddiesgroup9604]

how do i buy the snare set up

[@ckr430]

Excellent demonstration.. I’m curious about the spring tension for the various pedals. I would think a tighter spring would be the preferred set up?

[@rickdior]

Hi I use a very loose tension on all of my pedals. This allows me to control the motion rather than the motion controlling me.

[@ckr430]

@@rickdior Thank you

[@jordanbarbee3419]

Have you ever did Aladdin the musical

[@unclerhombus]

You are an awesome drummer! Are you using a djembe as a snare?

[@rickdior]

The Snare drum is a 14" Remo Mondo Snare.

[@unclerhombus]

@@rickdior that’s amazing! I really want one now!

[@mondragonluis]

What snare drum are you using?

[@rickdior]

It should be in the video description

[@jackoberhaus2599]

I will Pay/Venmo you Rick if you can send me the links to your exact tambourine set up so I can get myself a setup just like that!! Please Help. Or anybody else who could replicate that setup!...

[@rickdior]

It's just an lp gajate pedal rig with a standard bass drum pedal with a rhythm tech tambourine and a plastic headed bass drum beater (DW) or a long wooden beater as made by vic firth or LP. Now, please donate that money you were going to send me to your local animal shelter.

[@jackoberhaus2599]

@@rickdior Would it produce something like the pedal tambourine set up seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGnFZ6Gua7F3o7M at minute 01:40 - 0:200? I cannot figure out what to google to find a vertical beater that looks like that, or where to purchase one. What do you think that is? And I'm a fan of the animal shelter idea :)
