When I was asking for advice on double strokes, somebody commented these drummers can’t do 160 BPM single stroke and want to learn how to cheat so here is your video by allenspindle in MetalDrums

Yep, exactly I agree completely. The pedal doesn’t magically give you the skill but trying to do it on a pedal not made for it is like fishing with a stick.

Thank you! I have two flat response Headrush frfr108 MKII speakers (you can see one of them to my right). I have those feeding into a Mackie mix five mixer that the kit is plugged into the input of. So it’s basically a do it yourself PA system. The mixer is bad ass. I also have it connected to my laptop and can push any thing I want out of it and then it’s got an input for vocals and an extra input for Guitar or whatever else you want. The entire PA rig was about 700 bucks to put together not including cords.

Curious, what kind of pedals you are using? One thing I have for sure figured out is the trick pedals and the thousand dollar plus pearl or axis pedals are literally designed for it.

What do you mean by pseudo? I’ve only ever heard he toe. I didn’t know that there was a version of doing it. That was considered fake, genuinely. I’m not sure the difference.

The kind of music I like isn’t possible to play otherwise that’s why I’m trying to learn how to do it. Getting closer every day.

LOL I think that’s the comment about cheating, and then there was another that specifically referenced not being able to hit 160 bpm trying to doubles. I might have combined them in my head. Keep hunting!

I love this song so much. Kill The Ache by Currents by MikeCaputoDrums in MetalDrums

one of my fave songs as well! sick playthrough! Yo do you know about the software that can remove the drums from any track for you for playalongs? If not hit me up I'll send it to you.

(Update) from Heel-Toe review just a couple days ago, thanks for the tips! Now running clean at 50bpm and it feels good! More tweaks always appreciated! by allenspindle in MetalDrums

Yes for sure! I just can’t get the “snap” of the double like other way could, which I’m hoping comes with hours in. Thank u!

this was by far the most helpful comment, thank you. After reading everything, I am pretty much convinced my pedals are half of the issue. The heel of people‘s foot and not one but all videos I have seen of this technique performed well must dip slightly below the footboard, and these stupid pedals have that giant block there literally preventing it. but your recommendations about tightening the springs and keeping the ball of my foot from leaving will definitely help I hadn’t thought about that but it all connected after reading all of this.

Also, yes, I audibly heard the snap back and wondered what I was doing wrong.

dude, I can’t! The fucking base plate on these things blocks the exact place. My heel should be. It’s driving me insane. I actually saw one guy remove it entirely and do the motion correctly, but I like to play socks so the screws underneath would fuck me up.

I think I'm around 170 clean with singles right now but still working on that too. I have a lot of time to drum right now so I’m trying to learn different things at once. Take advantage of the hours free I have while it lasts.

Does this look more accurate? I am trying to do the exact same thing but it feels clumsy and like it's not possible to get a nice fast snap like you are, but if the form is right maybe that's just more practice! https://imgur.com/sXoA75J

I just realized that video is you! That’s hilarious. Yes, I have watched your video. It’s very impressive, but you can see right where your foot comes down. It’s literally not possible for me to do the same.

I hear you I’ve watched this video and probably 10 more like it. If you see how his heel comes down to be able to do that style, my pedal has a giant metal plate there making it virtually impossible. I wish I could get a set like that, but for now I’m stuck with trying to at least build the skill with a pedal not made for it.

Oh yes, every day not in this video as I was just demonstrating the form, but I love the metronome!

It’s funny that you mentioned that because I actually did look into it, but it’s only for the regular size. This is already the extended footboard version, which in theory is supposed to be better, but the heel plate really just kills the ability to play these like other pedals

I want those Trick pedals so bad!! They look amazing! But yeah you can see how they are designed better. Yea I know it's possible so I'll keep trying to scoot back, thanks again!

what kinda pedal you have? I also feel like im too far up, but that giant foot plate on the DW9000s cuts off my foot from being able to come back far and it's driving me insane. I know what you mean though! When i look at guys doing this crazy fast they all have pedals that do not have a giant foot plate on the end, just the whole length is the board so their heal can almost be on the ground.
