[@jameslongford165]

I'm getting back to drumming after a 5 year break due to space in my house issues. This is exactly what I need, this channel is great!

[@CameronFleury]

Glad to be of help James! 🤘

[@damianmlamb]

Oh crap I'm coming back since 2007 or so lol 😅

[@mikemasiello5965]

Great tutorial

[@reubenk7331]

Thanks for a clear and simple video!

[@CameronFleury]

You're very welcome!

[@RoopeLokkila]

I've been playing death metal with one pedal for 2 years now cause I don't have money. But I recently got a double pedal and it has been a struggle, my left leg just doesn't want to work and I didn't know the right settings for them but now I know more thank you🤘

[@CameronFleury]

Happy to help!

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

Death metal with one pedal? So Mastodon lol

[@jakobjakob7189]

If you have parts, that are easy for your right foot, i recommend to play them with your left only instead. That way it will over time catch up with your other foot in terms of actual practice time. You will also build muscle memory for that foot, for more complex double bass patterns later on.

[@BrandonMelvinDrums]

@@jakobjakob7189 So true. I need to do this more myself.

[@toddgaster5905]

Thanks Cameron, great to hear from you. Excellent advice as usual, you're a great teacher. More videos please, they are so helpful. Quick question, l have DW 9000 pedals, is the long board version easier to attain higher BPM? Thanks for your time and all you do for us drummers.

[@CameronFleury]

They're both more than suitable to attain higher tempos with your feet. Have you picked up the double bass drumming mini course? There are plenty of exercises in there for you to implement into your regime. My gift to you: academy.cameronfleury.com

[@mikemurphy1896]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@SKID-pvq]

Hey! I am about to buy new pedal but there is a lot to choose(axis,trick,acd unlimited,pearl xr demon pedal) which should i buy?

[@ernestmiller4476]

I’m getting back into drumming after 22 years,OMG!!!!

[@CameronFleury]

That's great news! Welcome back

[@dwash1439]

Ty needed this info

[@metalmouth13]

What's the name of those beaters?

[@juantorrez9684]

Excelent master.

[@CameronFleury]

Hey thanks so much!

[@alexvolcanomuller]

Thank you for this tutorial 😊

You’re welcome 😊

[@aaronpulido7049]

Nice videos bro! Keep the great work up and never quit drumming! 💪 👍🔥

[@pablogimelli3076]

I just can't seem to have my legs used to play with only calves. I can't get to that "constant" beater swing. But found that by placing the beaters way back could be a good way to practice the swing without actually hiting the skin and store the muscle memory. What do you think?

[@rondeangelis7384]

Perfect vid lesson Cameron , Do you have a link to those beaters you are using?

[@xenophagia]

They're axis beaters I believe

[@Taranc13]

since the other dude was wrong 10 months ago, they're lowboy beaters. i have the exact same pair, can customize them in any color tho

[@johnzin6447]

I just bought an electornic drum set to learn drums. I never played before and i bought an alesis strata prime, because i hear it can translate well into an acoustic set if i ever get the chance. Since it uses real bass pedals, i bought double pass pedals and i dont know if its just better to have it closer since itll register the hit on my headphones anyways. But if its not what normal drummers do, with having the mallets closer on acoustic sets, do you recommend for someone learning druns the first time to have a heavy/bigger angle if thats what people usually have? I just use it out of the box

[@devinphares2369]

What kind of pedal do you use? I also recently got a strata prime, and while I am a very experienced musician, I'm not a drummer and have never had a drumset before. But the pedal I have seems to have too much space between the between the beaters, so one is always just barely hitting the trigger strip in the kick drum. I've been trying to find a way to get around this, and haven't been having a lot of luck other than cranking the trigger sensetivity to max, but then the other pedal overpowers everything else. Seems like a really silly design flaw to have made the strip vertical instead of horizontal.

[@youngasspunk327]

Hi cameron. Can gou the double with iron cobra? If you can do it, please share the pedal setting. Thank you

[@CameronFleury]

You know, I haven't! The technique may remain the same. Would definitely need to explore before sharing results.

[@youngasspunk327]

@@CameronFleury aaah i will wait it so bad. Im frustrated because i cant do the double on iron cobra, and i cant afford long board/high end pedal. :(

[@youngasspunk327]

@@CameronFleury btw thank you for your reply. Have a good day

[@krisztianfarkas7068]

Hey, Is it some sort of grip on your board? What's that exactly? Thanks

[@CameronFleury]

its grip tape! Custom made with my band logo.

[@krisztianfarkas7068]

@@CameronFleury very cool! Cheers

[@jbcolson1027]

Are you using triggers? No judgement, because I get it when it gets fast it can just sound boomy. Just wanted to know.

[@CameronFleury]

Yes I am

[@pcbw75]

So awesome! 🤙🏼

[@CameronFleury]

Glad you think so!

[@kylepotter7690]

I am looking to add some weight to my beaters. should I bother with weights like you have in this vid, are should I get a heavier beater like Danmar?

[@CameronFleury]

The weights on the beater itself can be slid up or down. Placing them higher up will give you the feeling of a heavier beater throw. The choice is yours. I always recommend exploring to see what works best for you.

[@SONICSTAR07]

Hi Cameron, are you still teaching double base classes ?

[@CameronFleury]

There is a course up in the academy. You can also find and book time for 1 on 1 coaching here: academy.cameronfleury.com

[@jaxonnub8345]

What beaters are those

[@random_content.8]

I need ur help my pedal is moving each time I hit it and it hits slowly and it doesn't do alot of sound plss notice me

[@CameronFleury]

Send me a short video in an email: [e-mail]

[@Dutch-Metal-Singer]

I've a question, do you use triggers for the sound? Just wondering. Like of the pedal is closer i guess you have less sound then when its further away. Unless i guess with a trigger to keep a sound.

[@anthonymaniesDrumz]

do you play on high tension?

[@CameronFleury]

Medium/high

[@Jeffmd2020]

I don’t understand how people can do the heel toe technique with half their foot hanging off the board… I’ve tried it SEVERAL TIMES and I can’t get a kick on the heel down stroke but if I put my foot on the whole board I can do it pretty good… I have the DW 9002 pedal. Maybe cause I don’t have the long board edition?!

[@edelman4664]

Do some "If it's play" but it's Shannon Larkin

[@CameronFleury]

Going to add that to the list.

[@BWDRUMMEROFFICAL]

Hey, cool shirt, I lived right by there for years hah!

[@CameronFleury]

Place is great! Staff are awesome too.

[@thelastjazzdrummer]

my bass drum beater doesn’t hit flat on the batter head because of the riser increasing the distance between the pedal and the batter head . How can I fix this?

[@CameronFleury]

Make sure your bass drum is sitting flat. Have a look at your spurs and see if you can't lower them to straighten out the angle of the bass drum head. If not, you'll have to put something under the back of your pedal (near the heel block).

[@arno5036]

I love putting my beaters close to the skin ( not like you shown) but i feel like everybody say that this is not the good angle

[@kyleschneiberg]

This is exactly what I needed to dial in on My chain drive Speed Cobras. I think I can accomplish this technique better now. Thanks Cam 🤘🏼

[@CameronFleury]

Glad to be of any help!

[@ImminentThreatBand]

Awesome video as always. I appreciate your videos.

[@CameronFleury]

You're very welcome Mark!

[@ericsalinas1839]

So 45 degrees would be a good all around position, especially for beginners

[@CameronFleury]

Precisely! For all playing levels.

[@LoveSpellzFB]

I can't help but laugh everytime someone says calve muscle, brain automatically thinks of Cav as in Butt Cavity. Been on too much Samus lately, Great video though mate. Helped a lot

[@PaulMarangoni]

You're adjusting BOTH the beater angle AND the footboard angle.

[@djentrification1631]

Someone has been listening to Elitist, lol.

[@ampegloud]

You Gotta stop apologizing and saying everything might be different from you than it is me I think everybody knows that it's like you're concerned that somebody might have a bad thought about you because you talk about it don't worry about it just say that works for me and that's it and let it go set a repeating yourself through the whole entire video what works for you works for me yeah yeah yeah yeah
