Trying to play like Zach Hill single pedal speed 1/1/22

faster - • Trying to play like Za...

[@nicholasrodriguez1359]

A good tip is to try not to separate your foot from the pedal at all, keep your foot on the pedal when you press down and when you release

[@maxxisntbored]

yeah i'm a bit quicker now- I think I still lift just a tad (more punch)

samba best drumming shoe. amazing playing bro!

[@maxxisntbored]

It's been nothing but good to me

[@kylegraye]

Any tips for learning slide technique? Also that bass drum sound is sick

[@maxxisntbored]

Hey, thanks! Essentially, I watched a lot of Zach and realized he was just doing the same motion over and over. For each person it may be a bit different, but I slide my foot from mid-pedal to front quickly, and let some bounce-back turn it into two strokes instead of one. Start really slow to figure out how it works and then practice enough to get it as fast as you want. I have a DW 7000 and I know Zach uses an Iron Cobra. Hope this helps a bit!

@@maxxisntbored Thanks dude, I definitely need to start slow cause ive been trying to rush it alot.

I think the key to Zach hill is the Vans

[@maxxisntbored]

Maybe that will speed me up... I've seen Zach in cons (Hella days), Vans, and I swear in that latest Hella live footy my man has big ass new balance on 😆 Key is practice 🙏

This just proves Zach Hill is inhuman. Great technique though

[@maxxisntbored]

Thanks! Honestly, I think Zach’s skill level is possible to achieve. I’ll keep pushing 👍🏻

How high do you keep your pedal tension? I had mine super low for a long time (largely an accident because I don't care about my gear at all) and raised it a good amount and I got noticeable faster. My slide technique is like 60-70% of what this is.

[@maxxisntbored]

It's pretty low, but not all the way down. High can help with speed, but for me I lost the ability to control (switching from single to double strokes for more complex patterns) - ultimately, I'd find a tension where you can do fast singles and doubles feel easy. Speed comes with time. Keep adjusting variables and you'll find that sweet spot.

[@growskull]

proof that double kicks are a scam

[@maxxisntbored]

Yoooooo
