Btw, what is that on his kickdrum?
And.. how do you avoid shin splints when doin heel-toe?
Thanks![]()
spitfire909x said:Thanks Tim, not trying to be a nuisance but I have a final question.. guy on Pearl forums recommends lowering his pedal so its almost flat with the ground, I have an Iron Cobra double pedal.. how would I go about doing this so I maintain power with the pedals? I want that extra speed for HT but I don't want to sacrifice power on my single strokes, and his tutorial vid isn't working for meIf you know of any good websites showing some different adjustment techniques or something that'd be awesome.
Thanks bro![]()
Metal Ist Krieg said:Oh yeah, and proper heel-toe technique would not require any pedal adjustment... you could line up 60 bass drums with all sorts of different pedal setups and types, and a person who can properly execute it will do so on all of the pedals... they may have to adjust a little from pedal to pedal.... but for the most part they will execute it very well... Hate to burst your bubble tim...
Tim Brown said:Okay, when you stike the rim and head at the same time, the back of the stick just drops down. While it is sitting on the rim, you just raise the back end of the stick up, so that it rocks across the rim, and strikes the head, sort of like a "see-saw" motion.
Watch the video I posted at the "tigerbill" website. Johnny Rabb totally explains it, and shows you how to do it.

sirslurpee said:I've been practicing the heel-toe thing (or at least I think I have) for a couple of days. I usually pick up things quick but this is coming real hard to me. I can't actually play doubles faster than I can play singles. Even then, my singles are slow as far as most drummers can double bass. Doubles for me (on the feet) are really easy and fast with my right foot, since I have been playing mostly single bass for a few years, but I can barely do anything with my left. I was wondering if anyone knows of any kind of exersize (preferrably on the kit) that I can do to strenghten my left foot as fast as possible? I've been trying to play using only my left foot on bass and using the whole heel-toe doubles thing (as if I was playing single-bass with my left foot) and it's helping a little but I guess I am just impatient and want to have it come to me a lot faster... BUT I do want to say that I bought a new EMAD kick head, tuned it real deep, threw a pillow in my kick, broke out the ole' double iron cobra power glide, and got some DW HardCore beaters (BTW they are really light yet they still have power, and the attack on them is UNREAL, which is also adjustable, I HIGHLY recommend) and it's made it a little easier. I did use the technique of adjusting the pedal like on the pearl forums for heel-toe and I like it on the Iron Cobra. I've been juggling for a while between the cobra and a dw 9000 and right now, with this setup, i like the cobra better. And to think I was going to sell it haha.
Also, I'm trying to figure out that whole freehand thing and it looks like in the video (from this thread) hes not using the rim like Johnny Rabb suggests. Still, it's a badass technique and I want to learn it, I think it's more of the 'gravity blasts' thing, but regardless, it's freakin sweet.
Damn, I was going to post that! Now that a REAL killer drummer!!!mud said:Personally i prefer this kid....http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1581867722104021421&q=1337+drum+skills
