DOUBLE STROKES TECHNIQUE / HEEL-TOE [Extreme Drumming]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.พ. 2025
- Hi everyone ! 🔥
Today I’m going to answer a question many of you asked for a long time now !
WHAT IS MY FOOT TECHNIQUE ? It’s time for me to unveil and explain it.
It’s called double strokes and allows me (and many other drummers) to play very high tempos for extended periods of time.
I’ll show you in details how to understand, assimilate and master the technique to be able to play fast.
Small teaser : Last footage is 280bpm… 🥁
As always, do not hesitate to ask my anything. I will answer each and everyone of you with pleasure !

You know you’re a metal drummer when 180 and 220 bpm is considered slow
Yeah… and it is more and more abused with time, when you hear bands as Within Destruction or Rings Of Saturn you don't know what slow is for them 😛
Right tho 🤣
@@ThomasCremier I watched this band years ago..and he was doing 100bpm using both feet...50 bpm per foot..now thats slow!
Charshii lol
That's so right
Clean pedals, clean shoes, clean kick pad. Great
Thank you man !! \m/
Smooth pedalling
Thomas Crémier THOMAS YOU ARE FUCKEN AMAZZZING!!🔥🔥😈😈damn how do you get those insane speeds?.!!..is your batter kick head and front head super tight bro?..wow!
Onin Rawr IT’S FAKE
@@GiantHairyNuts why do you think it's fake?
Why am I watching this, I'm a guitarist
Erik Wortelboer haha same bruh
Same
Same here drums is cool to watch tho
Why am I watching this? I can sing not play instruments XD
Lol Don't feel bad I've been playing drums since I was 7 and yet I still watch guitar videos all the time, all while wishing I could play like the people in the videos. Drumming is like second nature to me and don't get me wrong I'm still passionate about it today as I was a kid, which is why I'm trying to see are these pedals he's using worth the price tag. But not a day goes by that I don't wish I could play guitar as well, I have tried and tried and I just can't get the hang of it so I gave up.
I'm not a drummer. I'm just here to see how the fuck you guys deliver these amazing results. I'm a vocalist, but drums are my favorite instrument. Fantastic video.
Thank you very much for your curiosity ! :D
@@ThomasCremier i'm a guitarrist and i still don't get how you do it. lol
@@anemonaloco Ahahaha I understand that could be complicated to understand at first, even for drummers ! But when we find to learn, it can be pretty straight forward and easy to feel the motion !
@@anemonaloco Years of frustration, tears and raging anger!
You are an ace teacher! So clear and simple and concise. Not too much talking. So many American drum teaching video’s are 90% talking and very little showing.
I tried to do this video as I was the guy looking at it to understand the technique, and yeah, there are too much videos with too much talking.. 😉
I agree. Right to the point. No "fluff-talk" or bragging about some horseshit no one cares about anyway. Good job, my friend!
Because they Want longer Videos for more Money of youtube
Facts 👏
When his foot double stroke rolls are better than your regular ones
Nope
Brother
@Connor Wilkinson he didn't say that he was the best read the comment again dumb fuck
@Connor Wilkinson oh sorry, I'm not really caught up in the community.
@@kailiw.8462 😂
2:00 why is that so satisfying?
Ahahahah foot-fetishist maybe ? 😛
@@ThomasCremier oh god lmao
🤣 so glad I clicked your time stamp hahahahaha
Are u gay ?????
You can try tap dance if you are bored with drums.
I thought lessons at school were lame…obviously this guy was really into them. Flawless transitions from 8 to triple to 16 doubles at blazing speeds. We can do this guys! Let’s go practice RIGHT NOW
Ahahah I wasn't really into lessons, and I only took 1 year and half of drumming course ! Everything is self-taught and as you said ! It's practice and practice and practice ! Lots of perseverance and motivation 😉
4:13 braa that Bleed
Yeaaaaaah !! Always 😇
He killed it
One of the most recognized sounds in metal, if you can't pick up on that beat you"re probably a boy band drummer.
Phantasm GD I was just thinking that
But guys, listen carefully to Thomas his very clear explanation. This is actually the first time I understand Bleed and it's not that much of a rocket science, it's just the combo of rhythms that's majestic.
4:17: Finally a harley davidson that's isn't tuned like crap.
Man, this one made my day
I don't know, it reminisced me of "Bleed"
Dawwwwwwg
That’s really good take my like
I thought the same thing....and then I come across you're comment....ahahahahahah
Bro, I have mad respect for drummers who have the Heel-Toe Technique down. This is honestly the first video I've ever seen where someone is actually explaining how to do it. I can do 300BPM with the tips of my toes on double kick. And now that I've found this video, I can start practicing this technique properly. Thank you!
Thank you for your reply ! :D
I really did this video because back then, when I learned this technique, nothing was available to learn this one. So I did my best explaining the basics, and something never seen on youtube is the slow mo part, to really show how it works !
Cheers mate and enjoy playing ! 😊
the idea behind it and the explanation you give sounds so simple bu the execution is a whole different beast. this is insanely clean and super satisfying to watch
I’m pretty sure it’s fake 66samus had a video on it I don’t know it is super clean
Well Samus came to apologise personally but never said anything to his community. It lets him earn so much visibility and money to create discord among drummers and start his little "hate-react war" 😊
Every musicians who wants to live thanks to youtube must go by unrelated sponsors, reaction videos because it is what the average population is seeking… but I just think it is sad for him, being a good drummer but not such a nice guy.
I really would prefer he stayed someone who could influence drummers to keep focusing on their dreams, never stop practicing… but no, he prefers to dash on little amateur drummers just like me xD
@@ThomasCremier Agreed. I saw Samus being a jerk to Lord Marco online, talking trash about him. So I unsubscribed from samus channel after that. Drummers are supposed to be a brotherhood.
@@WretchedDrummer Thank you for doing that and your words. Samus is nothing but an entertainment for non drummers… It would be much better fi he used his influence and visibility to share passion and inspire drummers to keep playing … but he prefers to created nothing but trash videos … his drumming videos doesn't evolve, but certainly he likes being sponsored by razors for balls xD
As a jazz drummer, I have the greatest respect for you metal drummers, I’ve never really been too good at double bass drums, although I’ve never really tried, but I can tell that you must really have put a lot of practise into your playing!
Hi there !
Thank you for your respectful comment even if it is not your type of music. And yeah, it is a devotion, as playing jazz (which I cannot do at all 😛)
Keep drumming, and thank you again !
Cheers from France !
@@ThomasCremier I need help there is a stink bug stuck in my snare like hes in side of my heads hes been dead for idk since 2013 2018 should I leave him in there or take him out
@@thIDthIRreenactor Are you saying you've had the same heads on your snare since 2018? I thought bass players were bad about maintaining their gear, jeez
Always been a little skeptical towards this technique, seems many become untight but you play 110% tight. Really amazing how tight you are.
TheSlayerswe thank you so much for your comment, I’m very glad to read this ! It can be untight if the stage where I play moves and isn’t stable, but I try to always be the most precise as possible ! :)
Thank you for your support !
@@joelansinger8527 Found the elitist. Do I get a prize?
@@joelansinger8527 Elitist and a sore loser? Goddamn, it's my lucky day!
@@nigelproctor I honestly don't see why people get so caught up on the whole 'cheating' thing. All that matters is whether it sounds good.
@@joelansinger8527 Check out what John Longstreth is doing with this technique. He gets the power on both strokes. It's a slight variation on this.
But keep in mind that even he uses triggers, because if he didn't, his speed would be a muddle on an acoustic kit. This technique has been developed for speed. An acoustic bass drum, by its very nature, is compromised at these speeds. Triggers are the only thing that will make the speed negotiable, irrespective of the foot technique.
Cleanest double stroke on TH-cam :)
Thank you so much for you kind words !!! :D ♥️
Fact ! The perfomance at 245 bpm sounds awsome 4:43
espguitarz1 not taking anything away from the guy but he is on electrics
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@mschmuck2 No, you are not taking away anything from him because using electronics does not make a difference in his skills.
Outro was total bad ass. Well done! Finding a drummer that plays double bass that well is nearly impossible here in Florida. A guitarist can only dream.
Oh ! I think you'll find it !! :D
Seriously Tampa is the birthplace of death metal
@@boarderking133 Tampa was the cradle of Death Metal in the early 90's, the scene has died long ago. or should i say it was killed.
The music isn’t to my taste, but appreciate the technical ability of the drummers! In awe!
Thank you very much to separate your musical tastes and the technical field of this video 😉
Nathaniel how long gave you been drumming
Agent Flash Gordon I played in high school but am a jazz and classical pianist by trade
This is the most informative and best double stroke tutorial I have ever seen and now finally understand the actually motion of the heel toe, THANK YOU !!!!!
Wow man, I am really happy to read this !!
Thank you very much !
Cheers from France !
Even at 270 you can _very clearly_ see he's doing all the strokes. Try the 60fps setting and slow it down to 0.25x. Well that is, if you have a 60fps monitor.
Thank you man for your real support ! ♥️
His precision is insane.
I was about to say that, it’s fucking insane how clear it is.
60hz/fps is the standard.
I've never seen doubles look so effortless, this is literally insane and I have no idea where to begin to achieve this.
Thanks !!!! 🙌🏻
You have to start from the start 😛
Learn the motion first on the ground 😉
Keep practicing ! 🙏🏻
Same here. I’m curious what this sounds like without triggers. Definitely overwhelming lol
@@henglish3398 I’ll think about making a video with acoustic sound, and make you hear what it sounds like !
Will check how and when I could do it ! 😊
@@ThomasCremier Yes plz
@@Weather_Nerd i keep this in mind !
Whiplash: "not quite my tempo"
Thomas: "hold my beer"
Too fast
Ahahah made my day !! Thank you ! :D
😆😆
you are rushing
This is amazing... so clean and your technique is beautiful! I cannot even begin to imagine how much time you've put into just your feet alone... the slow motion made me think of watching hummingbird wings, just mesmerizing to see the mechanics slowed down. This is pure dedication... just wanted to say thank you for your skill and for sharing it with everyone!
As you imagine, this took years, and drumming is a true dedication… ♥️
Passion, time and motivation are the key words 😉
Bro this is the best tutorial I have ever seen about this topic, thank you soo much! You are a beast!!!
shlaugsageur thank you so much !!!!
I did this to help fellow drummers out there wanting to work this technique 😊
Hope it helps !! Cheers from France !!
This is the gold standard video.
No other video comes close to showing the technique and application of the technique.
I have a degenerative back condition and it became too painful to play swivel at high speeds, but the beauty of this technique is in its versatility. Its economy of motion has given me a second chance at playing drums, so I’m grateful that you have made a video that is so easy to follow.
I am very moved by what you said.
I am happy my video helped giving you a second chance in drumming 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for saying all this and I wish you the best behind your drums ! 💪🏻
This man even gave us his footwear. The hero we needed.
Ahahah yeah, I've been asked what shoes I am using 😉
Le premier Français que je vois avec une telle qualitée de production bravo !

Just because he can.
Incredible playing.
EXCELLENT.. BRILLIANT VIDEO.. just in time as i was slowly figuring out the heel toe technique
With pleasure bro ! :D
Hope it helped you reaching the drum parts you wanted to play !
Cheers !

Thanks! Just got my first direct drive pedal. This is a huge help. I'm new to speed drumming. 👊🥁👊
Thank you so very much for your comment and for your Super Thanks ! You are officially the first one to make a donation like this, I truly want to thank you ! ♥️
Enjoy your first direct drive pedals ! Take the time to tame it and understand the new motion you’ll feel !
If you have any questions, do not hesitate ! 🙏🏻
Cheers from France !
Man... You just blew my mind. As much as you have discouraged me with your machine-like precision, you have inspired me equally. I will achieve this.
Thank you 🙏
Yes you will !!! \m/
I understand your point, and I am happy to read it inspires you more than discourages you for real ! If not, you would have stopped drums and that would be tragic !
Cheers :D
Those little beaters are hilarious. He’s got really good technique. Amazing.
Grateful for the video, and the slow motion segment. It made clear that we're supposed to get the "feel" for it and then keep practicing
You totally understood it !! This is something you have to feel, get the motion right, and with practice you'll have the precision and the speed 😉
Keep practicing !! \m/
Cheers from France !
His pedal is crucial. Can only truly get that technique down that well with that kind of pedal. I was using an iron cobra and couldn’t do even close to this.. then I got a direct drive with no heel plate and it’s effortless. Triggers are absolutely needed for this as well.
That's what I was thinking. I would bow down to anyone who can get that consistent and powerful of a sound without doing this with triggers.
That's what I thought. I'm playing full natural on a normal double pedal (Sonor low class) and God it's hard for me getting to 180 with consistency. Still improving but damn it's hard.
No triggers btw.
@@darkwill15
Try the ankle technique, that works with chain driven pedals and you can play until 240 a 250 bpm without triggers. Faster as well, but then the definition of the sound gets blurry. And less volume as well.
To be honest, I can do the same thing on my Pearl Eliminator, chain drive, short board.
It won’t be as comfortable yes. But I can play the same thing.
Gear is just a tool. Without technique you won’t play faster or better if you just have a better pedals or any equipment.
Give a beginner guitarist the greatest guitar on earth, he won’t make it sound great, at the contrary.
But give the cheapest guitar to a pro guitarist, he will make it sound good and transfer emotions 😊
But what I can say about triggers, is that it is necessary for fast tempos, whatever technique you are using (swivel, heel toe, heel up, heel down….). Or else, it will be a buzzing sound.
Triggers are needed for fats tempo to be heard and having the precise attack 😊.
@@ThomasCremier
Thanks for the encouragement man, I've already tried and I'm getting progress. I expect to be able to do it in a couple of months. Still, I'm buying some new pedals (Speed cobra), cause I think they will help.
About triggers, yeah, thanks for the honesty. Ill buy them aswell in the near future (probably before April cause touring with my band) so there's that.
Thank you again man.
I have been trying the ankle technique over the past few weeks and it’s definitely a work in progress. Your example of the double stroke technique is outstanding and I will start working on this technique immediately…. It looks very comfortable and smooth. Btw, I have the same shoes, I was stoked to see you using them as well, they are great shoes. Too bad they don’t give me super foot speed like you, lol… Keep up the great videos.
Man !! So happy to read this ♥️
Hope you'll get it as you want it to be !
And man, those shoes are very comfortable, can't play without them seriously !
Keep drumming 😊
Cheers from France !

Even though I don't have a kit and I'm struggling doing double strokes in matched grip, I find this video very informative, I learned how important technique is, thank you for this man, you deserve more support!
Thank you freaking much man !! \m/
I am glad you find in interesting ! 😊
Thank you for your support !
his pedals are so clean in every way its insane i wish
Thanks man ! \m/
I was always curious how this was done. I always thought you just had to be gifted with ungodly fast feet. I see now how important technique is. Great video man I like your accent too

Salut Thomas ! Je me suis récemment mis à la double et je cherchais exactement ce genre de vidéo, même en 2022 cette vidéo est géniale.
Surtout que tu expliques bien le principe et le mouvement sans avoir les pieds sur les pédales, c'est ça qui me bloquait... là on pige bien la routine et on peut s'entrainer sans les pédales.
Merci énormément pour ton commentaire !!!
Ça fait plaisir de lire ça ! Et j’espère que tu as pu développer cette technique et te faire plaisir en jouant maintenant 😊
(Désolé du retard de réponse 😇)
Easily the best and most intuitive double kick technique. Thanks for explaining it so well Thomas!
My pleasure man!
I am happy to read this 😊
Is anybody gonna make a statue of this guy ??? Pure talent
Oh man, I am not worthy… but THANK YOU SO MUCH !! ♥️
Hey! Could you also talk about spring tension and pedal configs?
Edit: Also, amazing video. I'm completely blown away!
Generally the answer is medium tight and better pedals than you have, direct drive is best, but dual chain is a close second

Thank you very much dir !!
@@ThomasCremier Thanks!

This is great to see for an old school drummer, so much more stuff to discover, you make it clean and bright.
I am glad you find it interesting ! It surely is a modern technique as modern metal evolved with faster tempos and drummers needed to find ways to play faster with more stamina ! 😊
Hope it helps!
Cheers from France
Wow! so clean and precise. amazing!
Dude, you make it sound so easy and clean! I wish I would have learned this.
Thanks a lot man !!! It asked a looooooot of work and dedication. Even now you can learn it ! The most difficult is to be able to understand the motion, but after, it is only pleasure 😇
And sorry for the late answer……… ^^'
@@ThomasCremier oh hey guy I must have learned it not long after this because it seems like lv been doing it for a while now but yeah it’s one of those things that once you learn it you’re like how come I had such a hard time getting that it seems so easy haha.
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 that’s exactly it ! It seems so hard, but when your muscles have understood the motion, you’ll keep it in mind 😉
Just as riding a bike ! Hard time learning but you keep it for life !

Thank you so very much my friend ! 🙌🏻
Happy to read this comment, and really glad this allows you understand completely the technique and how it is done 😊

I love the sound of double bass pedals rippin.. Something about em gets my tessties twitchin and I believe every song should utilize them..
I'll save this in favs file on YT cuz it's gold.
Thank you so much for saying this ! I am happy this video helped some of you ! \m/
I've watched a bunch of videos about double strokes and it still just looks like magic to me
I understand what you mean !!!
I See this first Time. This is unbelievable
I'm offensive and I find this very jazz drummer.
Now I know how they do it. Looks harder than I thought. (I play guitar. I'm actually not a drummer)
Probably a common question, but not going through 4,000+ comments as you have over the years - How DO you find the time? Well, about the triggering - is it merely for sound quality and evenness of the hits pertaining to sound or are there any additional hits supplied by the trigger? No wrong answer, as you had said 'There are no stupid questions' elsewhere. Great words to live by! My own comment is 'It never hurts to ask, but you might not like the answer'. Great vid, hence it being an icon on my desktop. Thanks! I consider myself to be very fast, butt to add this technique, finally??? Step back, folks! 🤩🤗
Hi there ! Thanks for watching and your comment!
First, I took the time needed as I played for years minimum three times a week, I always had a band I played with minimum once a week from 2010 to 2018 approximately (and it really helps progressing)!
About triggering, it helps first to a-have a consistent sound. It is not the acoustic sound which is recorded, but the combo triggers with a drum module allows you to choose a sample and this one will be triggered each time the trigger is hit.
I made a video explaining what triggers are : th-cam.com/video/U-u9CQ2qiQs/w-d-xo.html
It absolutely doesn't add any hit. All the hits played are listened more precisely, so technically speaking, it is more difficult to play with triggers because you hear all the errors you play ! So you need to be more precise compared to playing without 😉
And exactly, there is no dumb questions, so do not hesitate if you still have something to ask!
Cheers from France!
@@ThomasCremier Excellent answer(s) and very informative. Will watch that other video and >>> Cheers from the USA! 🤩🤗😏

La communauté des français avec l'accent 😇
Also a big thanks from my side! Seeing the double kicks in 'slomo' really helps. I always hit my heel hard before but yours doesn't even touch the floor 🤔 But I got an important question regarding this technique (at least for me it is) - what size are your feet? I have 45 (EU)/ 10.5 (US) and always felt like my feet are too big, even also using the bigger CK-Pedals ...
I have a similar issue, since I’m a size 11 US, but since you’re using pretty much your whole foot for the first note, most pedals should do. If that isn’t enough, try longboards. They’re multiple inches longer than standard ones, so they are more comfortable and easier to play on.
NerDrums I wear 42 (EU), I think it’s 9 (US), I was able to play this technique is short board pedals, and because my foot is half out of the pedal, my foot size doesn’t matter very much I think :)
Dude, THANK YOU. I've been drumming for 20 years and use the heel toe (kind of) for double strokes on my right foot, but never could figure out the slide or how to do it properly for rolls including my left foot. You simple explanation of just pushing my foot down flat and then using the bounce to get the second hit just clicked with me and after a single day of practice I'm already doing super clean rolls.
You did the Lord's work here man, I couldn't be more thankful. I can already do triplet rolls at insane speeds, and think I'll have 16th note rolls down by like Tuesday.
Awesome, don’t set your standards as high as this video tho, the midi notes are edited and quantized to make it completely tied to the grid. That’s why it sounds so machine like and perfect, nobody is perfect, but you can be close
@@stanleyipkiss3806 Yeah thanks, I know most professional drummers use triggers but I refuse to. I'm either going to have it be organic and sound perfect, or have it be as good as you can get and not sound as machine link. Surely it's more than possible especially since I'm not going to be playing anything that's just pointlessly fast for the sake of it.
@@actuallynotsteve my pleasure !! I am happy I could have helped you in your drumming journey ! 😬
Keep playing and persevere in what you want to achieve ! You’ll be able to do it !!
Cheers from France !
@@stanleyipkiss3806 what would be the benefits of changing my performances on a explanation and tutorial video ?
If you look at the waveform of the audio you would see that the attack are not to the grid, there are some slight offsets which is normal, because it’s a human performance 😅
If I wanted it to be perfect I would have corrected and quantised it !
But no, it is still humanly possible !
Lots of work, practice and efforts !
@@ThomasCremier It's an honor dude, so excited to finally be able to play consistent rolls on kick
La meilleure vidéo explicative du double strokes que j'ai vu!
Génial le slow motion 🙂
Et cool l'exercice au sol
Merci pour le partage!
Merci beaucoup !!
Ca me fait plaisir de lire ça !
Le but est atteint 😉
Travaille-bien \m/
"Slow tempo" 180 bpm
That's slow
its slow when u consider ur using a double bass
Slow for 8th notes, it’s too fast for me to maintain 16ths more than a couple bars
I love the sound when he hit the floor.. Hahahaa
The slow motion REALLY clarified it. I’m a wannabe drummer and my kit stays stacked in the corner. Once I’m able to set it up, I’ll be getting some new pedals and giving this a good try. Thank you!!!
Good choice man !! Hope you had the chance to set it up ! :D
@@ThomasCremier not yet. House still being rebuilt from hurricane damage. Soon, though...
It must be said this is great when you're using triggers. I'm all for brute force when playing double kicks. No triggers, just pure sound. Great technique nonetheless. Would love to be able to play like that!
You're totally correct ! This technique isn't aimed at all for power and brute force, but for speed, precision and stamina. Physically, it's impossible to play at extremely fast tempos while having power, so it's one or the other 😉
Cheers from France !
I'm just starting out with the drums, i have a long way to go before i master this technique.
Take the time ! But you'll see, with practice and perseverance, you'll get it !!!
Keep drumming ! Do not lose your motivation !
What drum pedals is he using?? They're gorgeous😯
They look like robots tbh honest but still beautiful
Exactly!
That's what I imagine drum pedals from the future looking like😂
It's in the description.... "Czarcie Kopyto Custom Drum Pedals"
Trick Drums Pro 1-V is the pedal he’s using.
@@skullspaws7607 he is using czarcie kopyto
I wasn't even interested in learning the drums, but became so engaged by the explanations in your video.
Wow man ! That's a meaningful thing you said here ! Thank you 😊
holy shit! this is so impressive, I have never been able to drum that fast after 14 plus years of drumming (not trained, just kind of self taught and messing around with my buddies) Your kit sounds excellent. You must go through a crapload of bass heads lol. What pedal is that? I'm still using the old double Pearl Eliminator... its a good pedal but I'm curious which one yours is
I'm pretty sure that's an Axis pedal. They're like $500 new unfortunately 😭
He is using Czarcie Kopyto: www.czarciekopyto.com/en
That is not a pos Axis pedal lol that is a custom made to order pedal well over $1,000
@@themire8291 $1300 last I checked, but unfortunately (or fortunately) my bank account was spared since CK does not ship to the USA.
@@TheWitchOvAgnesi oh no way they don't !? I have definitely been planning to get one of these so that is a major bummer 😒
Sounds like when you try and see how many midi notes your drum software will let you fit in one bar
6:17
Band: "Can you play just a really buttcheek vibrating fart?"
Thomas: "Sure, no thing."
Ahahahaha I like to fart like that then 😉
.
Hehe do that at 2x playback speed
The syncro is absolutely perfect. Awesome mate!😳😳
Thank you very much my friend !!
I hope this video helped you understand and manage to play drums as you wish ! 😊
(If you were looking for extreme tempos 😉)
Cheers !
4:15 sounds like a large cammed drag car, like top fuel cars.
Correct xD
Merci beaucoup pour ce tuto, pile la technique qu'il me manque pour accélérer un peu mon jeu à la double sans finir trempé de sueur au bout de 5mn x)
Btw ta double me fait rêver mais jamais j'aurais les moyens, est-ce que tu pourrais m'en recommander une cheap mais qui vaut le coup? La mienne commence à s'épuiser..
Pearl P120tw (la première de Goulon) performante et increvable. De Romain tu maitrises assez bien l'accent anglais. kudos
Roxxo avec plaisir ! Je suis content si ça peut t’aider à progresser 😉
Pour une double tout dépend de ton budget et si tu veux passer sur du direct drive !
Tu as la Pearl Eliminator qui est vraiment extrêmement bien, double chaîne, pedale courte, sinon tu as la Demon Drive qui est longboard et direct drive :)
Après plus haut en gamme dit plus haut en prix ! :/
@@ThomasCremier Merci pour les conseils, en effet le direct drive a l'air de changer la vie.. J'ai craqué mon porte-monnaie mais c'est worth !
so it's in the shoes - i better start saving for that
Ahahahaha absolutely not !!
Just look at Kevin Paradis' video about shoes or drumming… He plays up to 300bpm single stroke technique with crocs, high heels, boots… 😉
It's only comfort !
Thomas Crémier AMAZZZING VIDEO!! what type of drum beater is that?..and how are your spring tension settings??..super tight?..or medium?..AMAZZZING VIDEO BRO!😈🔥
@@unleash-hell6666 THANK YOU !!!!
I use the Trick beaters, my tension are all the way up to the max !!
Here is an explanation of all the settings :

Thomas Crémier AWESOME!! you very welcome bro...your my top 5 drummers of the world! I want to practice very hard and soon to be on your amazing level😎🔥
@@unleash-hell6666 Oh wow… ♥️
I'm touched, thank you deeply ! You'll be able to be as leveled as you want with practice !! Keep motivated and never stop working !! \m/
Thanks bro as a guitarist that has skrewed around on the drums before you've convinced me to start playing more and investing in a double
I am so happy to read this ! 🙌🏻
It means the world to me to see I can inspire people to play drums when I share my passion 🖤
What double did you invest in ? 😊
Kool. An old technique that's still used in metal today.
Halsey Ballistic yes ! By a great amount of drummers today :)
He called “180” slow - RIP all us Junglists ☠️☠️☠️
Ahahaha it's said "Extreme Drumming" 😇
Ikr😭
The triplets scared me lol. I rewinded 6 times
Ahahahahaha yeah it scared me for a long time when practicing !
Just the way it sounds Is literally like machine guns. Good stuff bro
@@JayCaldwell05 MG-42 😉
@@ThomasCremier More like a minigun!
Batteur depuis 30 ans cet année. Toujours aimé jouer du métal par dessus tout et depuis le début de l'été j'ai décidé de vraiment m'y mettre à fond pour les types extrêmes. Je viens tout juste de passer de ma vieille Iron Cobra à une Trick Dominator avec comme objectif d'apprendre à avoir une bonne maîtrise du Heel-toe... Du coup je vois la vidéo et je suis tellement découragé hahaha. Ça rend humble de te voir utiliser la technique avec une précision absolue comme ça. :D
Félicitations sur ton investissement dans les Trick !!!
Faut pas être découragé ! Au contraire, faut utiliser ça pour chercher à y arriver 😊
Tu as en plus la vidéo qui t’explique comment procéder 😇
Ça va prendre du temps, mais ce n’est pas impossible !
Courage à toi !
I think it's easier when you were using direct drive pedals (?)
It is the same just different feeling to it. Also CKs are not like other direct drive pedals. Very unique feeling.
@fadris : It is not easier, it is completely different.
@vadim is totally right, it is taste and preferences ! I used Pearl Eliminator, Tama Speed Cobra, Axis, Czarcie etc… and I would play the same with all these !
@@ThomasCremier j aime bien ton anglais! Très bonne explication, en revanche tu tends beaucoup tes ressorts de la double ou au contraire tu les détents
@@pelvismc Il me semble le premier. They seem very tight at the beginning.
Once he mentioned Meshuggah, i thought of Bleed, and here it is... 4:14
Of course !! Bleed has to be there ! 😄
After I watched this I took my double pedal to the Goodwill drop off.
I'm a guitarist but always watch drum videos as it gets into my system like none other, especially double bass blast and synchro tempo breaks - this is very satisfying and one of the cleanest I've seen 🌟 💫
Thank you very much man ! :D
Cheers from France !
