The 10 Minute "balance killer" Double Bassdrum Warmup
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2017
- Hi! I´m a Portuguese drummer and I just wanted to share a simple 10 minute double bassdrum (or double pedal) warmup exercise routine that I go through before shows or practice/recording sessions. These exercises are also good for double bassdrum endurance prep, or even fast double bassdrum, as they improve your balance. You can also use these short exercises to workout your swivel technique, floating technique, or ankle motion. Feel free to visit my facebook page at / emidioalexandredrums and hit me up in the chatbox if you need a PDF with the exercises or have any questions, or just hit me up on the comment section if you just want to say hello! Lemme know how this exercise routine worked for you ;) Cheers!!
Filmed in AlmadaEstudios - / almada.estudios
Played by Emidio Alexandre - / emidioalexandredrums

Love these workouts! Seeing a lot of improvement in my hands since starting them.
Fantastic, brother! Glad to have you here!
Undoubtedly one of the best warm-ups and exercises for double pedal or double kick ... In addition to having a very good technique, Emidio is a very kind guy. You are great friend
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend!! Hope you have fun with the warmup! Cheers 🙌🙌
Started doing some of these every time I practiced. Helped me tremendously - especially that pesky left foot!
Hey bro, thank you so much for commenting! you have no idea how happy that makes me!! hope you keep using the warmup in the future :) have a great week!
Great video! High-Five!!
Added to my Fav's.
@Matt Robertson Hey buddy, I´m so happy you liked it bro! LEt me know if you try this routine, I´d be honoured ;) Cheers!
Damn, I'm not even into double bass but that fucking bass drum sounds unbelievable.
@Wizzle thank you my friend, I honestly hope that you get a little into doublebassdrum drumming from now on! It´s fun, I promiss! thanks for watching, cheers!!!
Fantastic exercise thank you.
Thank you for watching my friend, anything you need feel free to hit me up
This is actually a pretty cool warmup, now I just need to get some double bass pedals
Thank you Zane, I hope you do get them! let me know if u try the warmup later on! Cheers bro
Awesome video, will use this warm up in my routine next practice! Thank you!
@RockinRaine Hi man! I´d be supper happy if you did, bro! Will you come back here and let me know how the warmup is working for you?? Cheers buddy, take care and happy drumming!
I will definitely let you know how the warmup goes for me in my routine!
@rockinraine Pls do Buddy! Cheers ;)
Excellent! Thanks for sharing
Hey bro! No, thank YOU for the kindness. Have a great week!
Awesome!!!!
Excellent!! Great video dude! 👌👌👌
Hello Francisco! Thank you so much for your feedback, my man! Hope you get to try the exercises!! Cheers
Great stuff!!!!
Hi Fabrizio, all good with you? Thank you so much for the feedback bro, it´s much apreciated! Hope you have a wonderful year my friend, take care!
Great stuff! I started recently a similar (almost) daily work out, but it's 39 minutes and I do each pattern for 3 minutes. I mix up paradiddles, double 8th notes, alternating 8th + 16th notes, straight alternating 16th notes, 4th and 8th notes on each side, 16th triplets and so on.
My comfort zone has always been 16th notes at 170-180 bpm and that was all I needed. But I struggled from >120 - 160
Thanx for the feedback my friend! Yes, doublebassdrum can be incredibly frustrating, but we all love it heheheh. I also have a 1h30 routine that I go through, but yes, it DOES begin with this warmup. Thanx again and good drumming!
Great video and funny too, loved it dude, keep rockin'! DC
Hello David, all good with you? Thank you so much for the comment bro, It´s deeply apreciated!!! Hope you get to try this warmup soon, and get back at me on the comment section, or even my Facebook! Have a nice day, bro!
I dig it! Cheers!

Great vid, Emedio! 👊🏻
Hey Hilbert, thanx for the feedback my friend!!! I´m really happy you liked the video - if you try the warmup, let me know how it worked for you!! Cheers, thanx again!
Great Video!!!!!!
@nicholascreamto what´s up bro?? Thank u so much for your kindness! Hope u try these exercises and let me know how u liked them or not!
Have a nice week!!
Actually I'm a jazz drummer but I want more independence with my feet. Double-bass or even bass+hi-hat phrases are so awesome!! I love this gonna try it thanks
Hey bro, how are you? Yes, this actually really can create a couple cool ostinatos. I uploaded to FaceBook a silly exercise based on the first warmup on this video, wich uses it as an ostinato, then hands play 3 against 4 and ultimately become a metric modulation when the snare is added. It´s all goofy and riddled with light mistakes, but I´ll leave u a link in case you want to take a peek, since it´s related to your comment.

PS: I really admire Jazz drummers, although I don´t play jazz at all. Cheers and thanx for watching!!
Cooool!! Hey I just kinda tried it, well the concept of changing lead and stuff... and I already feel the independence is coming :D Yessss I'll take a look mate.
My oh my I like it! Reminds of me of some of some of the stuff I used to do in college. I'm not in this kind of shape anymore... but it'll come. I just recently picked the drums back up. I cannot live without it. I was feeling depressive, nothing was going on in my life and other ventures like photography... and then I just though, fuck, I'm not playing anymore... and I forgot how badly needed this therapy was. There come a time when you can't go back. After 12 years and going through cancer and mental illness... the drums always been by my side...! Anyway thanks bro. Hope we run into each other one day. Perhaps, I'll learn how to play metal... who knows? xD
@@jas_bataille thank you for the kindness! Have a nice week!!
@@jas_bataille heheheh nice, I'm glad to know that! Keep in touch bro, lemme know if any of it was useful at all. Cheers!
Great video dude ;) Very nice tips! Keep the good job \m/ Big ups
Bruno!!! Obrigado mah bro, gd abraço e aperta contigo ;)
Hey man, love this video, actually went and did my own pdf with this excercises. I'm going at 130 BPM for now and having problems with my left foot in excerceises 3-4 .... But everyday my speed and balance seems to improve, so thank you very much for this!
Hey my friend! It is I that have to thank you for watching!! Im super happy that you are making progress, these help alot with balance, yes. You are supose to struggle, dont worry eheheh. If need anything, hit me up via Facebook or here in the comments! Have a great week and thanx again
this is awsome ive watched many of double bass videos on ytube not once has anyone ever mentioned balance..they mention technique muscle power thats about it
Hi Alfredo, how you doing today? Thanx for your feedback bro! Yes, balance is key!! I think even before technique, comes balance! But that´s my humble opinion, I´m just a startup guy! Cheers and let me know how you liked the routine, if you try it!!
im sitting at home without a kit, that was perfect for practice... still need something for the pedals, since I dont have a bass drum or one of these practice pads... i think i will go ham on a old sofa of my parents (and hope they won't notice). thanks for the very informative vid and cool exercises !
Hey Luemm3l! Well if you can afford a practice pad, get one, it´ll last you a lifetime! If you can´t, that´s ok, you can just make one! Just with a few wodden boards, a piece of rubber and the right handskill, you can do it! The important thing is that you practice! Thanx bro and cya soon!
Man this is awesome
Hey Bartman! Thanx for the comment mah bro! make sure u try this, lemme know how it worked 4 ya! `Cheers bro

@krazy Banana Hey!
Emidio Alexandre I already tried it and it is great, gets my legs warmed up very nicely, and makes my brain ready to read notes fast, but I play at a lower bpm, I play 90 or 100 bpm
90 or 100 is fine. Give it time, you´ll be flying soon! Thanx for the feedback, keep it up!!!
I really like your Kick Sample of your triggerd Bass Drum
I really like you creating that account just to say that
Thank you!!!

Cheers, Alex
Awesome...!!!
@Josue Santiago Hey bro,thanx for commenting!!! Thank you so much for your words! Please let me know if u try the warmup and need anything. Cheers!!
-Alex
Good drill. Alternating your lead foot is crucial. Every drill a double bass drummer does should incorporate that. And your English is amazing. Very minor accent. Probably wouldn't have noticed if you didn't have it in your description (and I'm a language professional). Parabens senhor!
@spikeFlea Hey man how u doing today? Thanx for watching man, and thank you so much for those words! Hey and you speak some Portuguese, I see hehehe.
Have a nice weekend bro, let me know if you try the workout yourself!
Cheers,
Alex
Man, double bass drumming is the most soulcrushing thing ever!
The amount of hours you have to put in with very very little progress... absolutely brutal! -__-
I know dude! it´s very unforgiving. Worst thing is the more you progress, the more you have to keep your muscle memory in check. I´ve taken a huge break of 9 months, and my endurance has reduced 50%. Well, drumming is almost a sport I guess hahaha
@@almadaestudios
Oh yes man, so many emotions that get triggered throughout the progress... anger, hate, depression, distress! Sometimes it seems like its not even meant for me to play 200bpm on feet...
& at this point of extreme drumming it definitely is like a sport, very demanding!
Any tips for me? I can only do 135bpm 8ths seperated and 125bpm both together... i practise everyday with click and various patterns. All full leg motion for now, waiting for clean 140bpm to be playable and then start ankle motion.
@@prod_adrian of course, lots of tips! I´m a big advocate of balance being the key for it all, so it begs the first question: how are you sitting? if you lift both your legs, can you balance yourself, or do you immediately fall over?
@@almadaestudios I think balance is a big problem for me, thats probably the reason why i have to go slower when playing with both feet together (legs/feet not grounded to floor) than seperated. And for throne position, basically like what Marthyn or James Payne recommend. Pretty far back on the throne, so i can tap with the ankle but also you full leg for drive. I dont fall over but i can also sense its not comfortable for me either (yet). I used to play heeldown when i was a child so the lack of anchor to the ground was a very different feel for me starting the full leg motion. I had like hip flexor muscle soreness the first weeks, because the change of movement.
thank you man
@@prod_adrian the biggest issue is taking everything with a grain of salt. Everybody is different, so recommendations are always to be taken with care. Not everyone reacts the same to the same type of practice. What I'd recommend for sure is to work on balance. At speeds until 16th notes of 160bpm I wouldn't even worry about hip flexors or whatnot. I'd just go for it, you can go full leg caveman motion easilly. From 175 or so, that's when ankle play has to get involved in order to maintain endurance. In any case,enjoy your practice! As a rule of thumb, I'd do workouts of 10 mins (straight) of a comfortable tempo, 5 mins a bit faster, And 1 minute on a bpm close to your max. Rinse and repeat, the only changes are the bpm, that hopefully keep getting higher and higher. Also remember progression is not achieved daily, sometimes it takes a year for you to notice
Really killer!!! I'm going to try this, Im sure that the results are gonna be great!!!
Enrique, what´s up hermano? Thanx u so much for the kindness!! Yes, I hope u try these exercises :D let me know about ur results, ok? Have a great week!
-Alex
I'll be back in 30 days to tell you the results
Yes, that´s the spirit! Talk to you soon then , any question feel free to hit me up!
best double stroke....👍👍👍👍
Have a great week my friend, thank you for watching
You have great control. I’m still working on getting that kind of control. TON is still my favorite btw
Silas Jones how are you bro? hope all is good, man! Thank you for your kindness!! Well these exercices help a TON with control (sorry about the horrible pun). Try and warmup with this for a month, you´ll like it hopefully. And yeah, Type O fucking rule bro! Any questions hit me up, and good work !!
Emidio Alexandre I’m good man. Hope you are too. That was a great pun. Lol. I’ll try this warm up. I have some other exercises that I do as well. I’m just trying to get my left foot (weak foot) to be just like my right foot. Anyway, thanks for the response man. Rock on!
Yeah, it´s a drama to get that weak foot to wake up! Always working on it too! Cheers and good work ;)
Thanks man. I appreciate it! Gonna use this WAY more
@TheTenebrianDrummer Hey brother, hope you do use it! Comment back and please let me know how the wamup worked for you, before shows/practice day, I´d love to get some feedback ;) Cheers and thank you for watching - have a great day!
Emidio Alexandre for sure Man! I got plenty of time to practice before our first show since August! 🤘🤘 have a great day as well, cheers!
Hit it man! hope it helps (at least to warmp up) Happy drumming and have a good 1st show!!
Emidio Alexandre for sure! Oh man, I bet it will help, after seeing how long you kept on going after the video 😂😂😂 I started laughing just because of the troll face you ended up leaving 💀💀
Hey man if you can, check out my band's music! I have some of our shows on my channel! It's gonna feel good to hit the stage again
ahaha the "forever alone" face! It was ment so symbolize how we drummers are truly stuck in these (boring) routines, alone..
But endurance at "slow" speeds is necessary in order to achieve higher speeds! (well not achieve, but to maintain them for longer than just a burst)
I was expecting to see some basic 8th and 16th note stickings but this is actually some great stuff! I'm positively surprised. Reminds me of the things that you'd see in the Stick Control book. :)
Eetu Mellin Drums hey my friend thank you so much for your words!! Yes, it's very stick control inspired :) try the warm-up and let me know how it worked for you please! Thanks again, hugz

Haha todo bien hermano! Igualmente a ti! Feliz 2018 y mucho exito con este canal!
Gracias brother, por todo!
Awesome warm up. I havent been behind my set in weeks. This makes me wana go pound some skins 🤘🏼
Hey J cel, thank you so much for watching!! Yes do get back to the kit and let me know if you try the warmup!! Have a great week!!!
Great video thanks for uploading!!
hi @BNRZ28, no, thank YOU for watching bro! hope you try this yourself and let me know how u liked it, man! cheers!!
Emidio Alexandre how do u like those pedals? I'm looking into getting thr p932 for price wise. What's ur opinion on them
Hey buddy! I don´t know about the p932, never used them... but if you want to know more about the Demondrive, watch my video where I review them, (just turn the subtitles on because I didn´t spoke english on it)... But long story shot, the demondrives are really good. The p932 is good if it´s going to be your first pedal, but if you´re into getting a pedal for some years, just save up some more money... it´s going to be worth it
Emidio Alexandre thanks for the reply. And we'll I'm looking to try the longboard style pedals and the p932 is cost friendly and as I'm on a budget.. but right now I have a set of dw 5000 which work well but they are a little older and I'm starting to notice the wear on them.
Well the only prob I see with the p932 is that the foot board doesn´t have an independent ajuster... but that shouldn´t be a prob to you, since I believe the dw5000 also does not. No big deal there. also - bear in mind that the Pearl longboar is the shortest in the market
Nice vid
thank my friend. Nice screen name, Tolkien would be proud!
Rumo ao 1M 🙌🏻
ahaha era bom bro. Mas tá cada vez mais dificil furar XD
Nice dude!!!
@OnionRecords thank you so much for your kindness!! I mean it!
Please let me know if you try this warmup yourself, and hit me up if u need a PDF or something ;) Keep on banging those drums!!! Cheers ;)
Please check my video

Que aula top
obrigado amigo, um gd abraço!
I've always had massive problems with my left foot but I'm really looking forward to trying this out!
@drumzilla Hey buddy how´s everything, man? Thank you so much for watching bro! Yes, this WILL make you left foot wake up, trust me. Just fiddle with the bpms for each exercise to find your starting point. The important part is to keep (at least) 2 mins each, as oposed to "speed". Any question hit me up bro, and pls let me know how u like it or not when you try the warmup! cheers!
alex
Emidio Alexandre I'm good man and hope you're doing well too! Of course I loved the video and thanks so much it means a lot!
@drumzilla Nah bro, thank YOU! Let me know how your left foot is doing later on! Cheers and happy drumming
-Alex
Emidio Alexandre Will do!!!
Use it more then. Instead of playing with your right foot, use your left foot. When playing a pattern with a double stroke on the kick, get your left foot involved: play the second or first note. Alternate. After you do both for a few months, it'll become easy and there will no longer be such a thing as a "weak foot."
Very good video!
Ricardo!!! What is up my friend! Thank you so much for your comment - try this warmup at home, and let me know how it went, ok? I´d be super happy! Cheers and take care man!!
Thank you my friend! Happy new year... 👍👍👍
Happy new year my friend!
I’ve started using this one to warm up my brain before work too 😂
Hey my friend how are you doing! ahahaha I´m glad you use it for anything at all! Stay safe abnd thank you
simple but practical...thanks a lot man for this tutorial...
can you do about hand warmup for the next video?
Hey buddy, all good? Thank u so much for watching, and for your kind words! Well, I never did a hand warmup video because there are literally thousands of them already... Look up Tommy Igoe "great hands for a lifetime" it´s an awesome hand warmup!
Well great man. Thanks again for the recommendation. I will definitely check out this guy...
Yes, he´s a pro! Have a great week man!
Very nice i subbed
Hello my friend, thank you for watching and subbing! Have a great week dude 🙌 let know how the exercises worked for you. Take care!
That's some impressive consistency
Hey pietzsche, how ya doing? Thanx buddy, I apreciate that, alot! Well, i´ve been doing this routine for a couple of years now... Hope you try it yourself also, and lemme know how it worked for you! cheers
Will do, I play a bit of double bass, but I'm looking to get comfortable in the 180-210 range, so I'll be doing this a lot, will let you know how it goes :)
Yes, this DOES help alot. Because it fiddles with your balance. Before I couldn´t endure 16th notes @180 bpms for 4, maybe 8 bars even. Now I can do 50 minutes straight, without stopping. Balance is really important when u play ankles instead of legs. Please let me know how you´re progressing, if u need a PDF or w/e, just contact me via Facebook! cheers and have a nice holyday ;)
Awesome man, I'm only just getting the hang of the ankle stuff, have some time off over xmas so I'll get into it then and let you know. I'll add you on facebook too, have a good holiday man, and thanks.
you´re welcome!
Luv u bro, please send this video to Lars Ulrich who needs to hone his drumming skills
My bro! hows everything?? Nah, Lars is a cool dude LOL. Hows life bro, have u tried this warmup yourself? how was your holidays? cheers!!
Emidio Alexandre i haven't tried it.Coz When i c metallica performimg concerts , i m like y cant Lars play double bass when u ve his contemporary like Dave and Gene Hoglan playing it with ease.
Yeah bro I guess he stopped practicing XD
Holly shit, impressive
@Leon Subbotsky Hey man! thank you so much for your kindness, bro! It´s deeply apreciated, trust me :) Please try the warmup yourself, and let me know if u liked it!!! Cheers buddy, have a great week!

Emilio very nice brother !!!!!! I got into DBD at age 55 .
Hello my friend!! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!! Its great u got into Dbd! Its such a strggle though.. Wish you a great week!!!
@@almadaestudios 55 years O L D !!! Fuck time flies I'm 62 now and into it totally... but not to play Trash or blast beats ... thanks bro.. where are you in LA ?
Awsome
thanks brother!!
That Zildjian Oriental tho :D love this vid bro!
@Arya Rifki Paratama Hi bro, how u doing? Thank you for your kindness! And yes, that Oriental is the bomb, heheh! Please comment back and let me know if you tried the warmup!!
Emidio Alexandre the video is a big help for me, since I was a beginner for double pedal..I'm trying to start at 90 bpm.. is that good enough for starters?
@arya rifki pratama Hey dude!! Wow thanx for the feedback brother!! Any bpm is fine, bro - as long as you´re confortable doing all 10 mins (especially the last 2 minutes of straight 16ths) . You can gradually increase the tempo over time!!
Cheers and take care, comment back and let me know how your progress is going ;)
Awesome warmup. I’m going to implement this. I have a question. Do you have an exercise specifically to increase your double pedal speed?
@MeytalHead Hey bro all good with you today? First off, thank you very much for commenting, hope u do try the warmup! Well, now for your question: For me these are actually part of a speed gaining routine, because they work on your BALANCE and u need to be well balanced on your seat/throne in order to properly execute some techniques. Once you have the balance down, check out james payne´s "Stone killer" exercises for the feet, they cover alot of ground for speep. Finally, check out Eugene Ryabchenko´s video also about foot speed, he has preety good recomendations about speed/endurance. Cheers bro!
I like the ending just keep on going with 16 notes XD
@Linus Stoltz Hey bro, all cool with you today? Yes, well the ending is the only exercise I actually go through the 2 mins in the video, just because it´s the end. all the exercises are suposed to last 2 mins, but I though it would be boring as hell for ppl to watch the full 10 mins. Glad u liked it buddy, thank you so much!!
-Alex
Looks like a Mapex Saturn V bass drum, am I right? I have two of the same if so. This routine is excellent for addressing balance, the quick and slow alternating as well as constant pedal contact are great for that.
Thank you for your kind words my friend, they mean alot!!! Yes, it's a mapex heheh. Thank you for watching, have a great week!!
Awesome calmness!
What spring tension do you use with your foot-technique?
@mortotia Hello! Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for watching :D
Spring tension is maximum, all the way!!
Great warmup bro
!! What spring tension do you recommend? and what knee angle would be appropriate?
Cheers from Spain.
Jesus my friend, como vay? Thank u for your kindness, I'm really happy you liked it! Spring tension on maximum lvl Is better to play fast. I like to sit low, but I guess that depends on how tall you are. Cheeers and have a great week
nice
Thank you so much for your kindness. Please try the warmup and let me know how it went!! Cheers ;)
As soon as I buy myself a double bass pedal I’ll probably do this as an exercise by increasing the time limits on the intervals
@Alex A Hi buddy! Thanx for the feedback on the video! Yes, please try this, and let me know how it went for ya, will you? hope to hear from u soon, cheers!
Great exercise. I have tried it. But i cannot reach 195bpm for endurance and control. Its like im strugling to do it. i can only do it properly at 170bpm.
Hey Benang, thank you for your kind words! I´m super happy you tried this routine. Endurance comes from control, don´t worry about it, it takes time. I remeber starting from 2 minutes of 160 bpms, and totally crapping my pants doing it. Progress can sometimes take years, just keep right on it, it´ll happen ;) Have a great weekend!
Hey man this is awesome, your technique is sick. I'm recently trying to get into the habit of ankle motion, do you have any tutorials on how you go about the technique? My feet naturally swivel at higher tempos, but its sloppy at times and I suck for long stints of single 16ths. Also I got the same pedal, forever messing around with the settings, can't seem to find a comfortable setup. What have you got your pedal setup like?
Cheers!
Hey man, thanx for the comment!! As for ankle motion, just practice the floating technique (also called the "basketball bounce") for long periods of time, on lower, more confortable bpms. Also, practice heel down for some time - in spite of you NOT using heel down on your playing, it helps to strenghten your shin muscles, used for ankle motion. As for my settings I have the pedal on longboard and springs maxed out. These are the only things you really should try, all the other settings depend on wht´s confortable for you. Just don´t keep changing them everyday... it´s important you give it a try for at least a week!
Also, try this warmup in the video, it helps, I promiss.
;)
Gene Hoglan would approve of this video. The only things missing are ankle weights and a pair of combat boots. Nobody's too advanced for a warm-up. Are Marines too "advanced" to do pushups? I think not.
Hey man, all good with you?ahahaha we´ll i´d be a HUGE honour if gene did aproove it for some reason, ehehe. Well, the "advanced" thing is tricky: I know guys that don´t warmup at all and can pull off amazing speeds beyond my measure. I´m quite different, I need to warmup for optimal performance. Now, will they develop injury playing not warming up? prolly, dunno. Thanx for the input and have a great week my friend
@@almadaestudios People who don't warm up are morons who are playing with fire. It's not sustainable It doesn't matter what they can do in the short-term if they give themselves an RSI.
@@MFKR696 yeah for sure. Personally I really ALSO need to stretch after an intense show or a long workout. Happy week my friend ;)
@@almadaestudios I'm not sure stretching after your show is gonna help anything, but whatever works for you lol.
@@almadaestudios It was a compliment, bud. I'd have to be a jumped-up prick to take issue with the video. The only thing that I take issue with is people who think they're too advanced for a warm-up. Warming up is not about doing some wanky bullshit. It's about warming up lol.
Warming up means the same thing to a musician as it does to an infantryman, or anyone else that does anything remotely physical for a living. It enables you to perform without hurting yourself over time. I know shit seems easy when you're young, but as soon as you hit 30, that all changes.
Great video and great tips to do it as a daily routine ... and with a very cool drum sound. What do you use to make it sound that good? Thanks Emedio !!!
Thank you so much my friend!!! The bass drum is a blend of acoustic and trigger/sample replacement. Have a great week bro!!
@@almadaestudios Mantenha contato. Mantenha-o brutal !!!
@@davidalejandrez8620 Gracias hermano! asi lo harei
Victory fanfare do FF. Boa cena hehe
ahaha yah dude ^^ thanx!! abrç
Great warmups 👊👏
Thank you for watching my friend! Any question hit me up!
@@almadaestudioshi bro, I am in intermediate level drumming, I have been struggling with double bass for last one and half year... My progress is keep on varying from 200 to 240, unable to cross a little higher tempos, I couldn't figure out the reason still...I play heel-toe and sometimes slide technique also... it's taking a very long time to get a tiny progress...I came know that ankle technique will help to reach higher tempos..I will start soon..any guidance of ankle technique for good beginning from your side sir? Thank you👍 by the way, you are an awesome drummer, great control, speed, flexibility and power...I love you stuff
@@almadaestudios I have one more question, I have no problem with hands, if I play only pedals then my balance is good, but if I play both hands and foot then my balance is not good on drum throne to play around the kit...any suggestion for balancing body?
@@sreenivasgani7563 thank you for your kind words my friend! Well, dont be discouraged: it takes a long time. You will feel stuck for months, even a year, and then suddenly, you make progress. The exercises in this vídeo are preety good for developing the balance inherent to playing ankles, But, there is nothing wrong with using heeltoe. I cant play singles for a long time for more than 230bpms,so I also use heeltoe for faster stuff. Just keep praticing, you will be flying in no time! Thank u for commenting
@@sreenivasgani7563 yes, dont sit the edge. Sit as further back, as you can
He isnt human
@jannatin karlen Sometimes I wish I wasn´t, buddy... thank you so much for watching and for your feedback
Came for the exercise, stayed for the 2 minutes of sixteenth notes.
You're the Best my friend! Have a great week and try out these exercises, lemme know how it went pls
I am literal MOMENTS away from my drumming warmup, so I'll get back to you soon ;) Thanks again!@@almadaestudios
Awesome!!! Have a good practice, brother! 💪 💪
@@almadaestudios THAT it was! Felt stronger on my feet than ever before and recorded a new piece :D DEFINITELY adding this warm-up to my repertoire!
Thank you so much!
@@morganfarlie wow super happy to hear that man! I´d love it if you´d add it, of course! Hit me up if u need a PDF with the drumsheet. Keep up the great work man! cheers
Nice video bro. However i hav.e a question. If i am not mistaken you use heel up technique. i use it too. Do i do something wrong? Cause ur toes don't stay always in touch with the peda;
Hey Alex! Glad u liked the video, hope you try the warmup yourself!! Well, yes my heels are up, but the motion is only from the ankles, not the leg. Of course you CAN play ankles and ALWAYS keep your toes stay in touch with the pedal, but I like to use a little bit of swivel as well. What DOES stay in touch with the pedal always, is the ball of my foot (that little lump, right below your toes.) But this is just me, it doesn´t mean it´s the correct way to play, at all. To each his own, right?
Everyone plays what feels the best. I just wanted to know if this is a completely different technique! Cheeers
Nah, nothing new, just plain ´ol ankle with a bit of swivel. Only diference is that the FULCRUM is not with the toes, but with the ball of the foot. Cheers and take care bro - hope you try this warmup, though!
