Needed this big time! Single pedal speed will impress anyone who knows anything about drums and even those who don't. When you can play faster and more controlled single pedal than some guys can double pedal...you stand out.
+Crimson Sunrise That would make it more impressive! Having the speed and control single pedal is pretty impressive itself. If you've got the dynamics, and you can groove...you'll draw some eyes. Definitely.
It’s a great exercise- I also recommend practicing a single note in place of the two notes so one note then 3 notes etc. and then going back and occasionally inserting 2 notes-- I found this was effective for building up faster and faster tempos by giving my leg more time to rest and recover.
this is an excellent example for those who think you need to do heel up or heel-toe to play fast. great that you're facile with both up and down techniques.
I agree with David Rogers And Gavin. Practice practice practice. Even one exercise! Because you build off of it. This particular single foot exercise is great because after you master it? at different tempos? It opens another door and another. Just keep opening the doors and master them. Just opens up alot of stuff you never thought you can play! Just work it!! You gotta love it you gotta live it.........
I've got to be honest, this is the one channel that keeps me coming back to TH-cam. Thank you guys for taking the time to bring joy into other peoples lives!
led zepelin's communication breakdown has that foot pattern in it. I played along to it for a few weeks and got my foot speed right up. Never though about trying to up the tempo even more though. Thanks man.
Good lord, Thank you so much for adding in that part with the heel down. I play heel down and Every drum tutorial I find hardly touches on it. Thanks so much
I find dropping my heal after the 1st gives me the 2nd hit. If I don’t tense up I can make consistent ghost notes on the 2nd hit doing this too. I struggled and struggled keeping my heal up high and just using my toes. My calf would cramp, I lost consistency and dynamics too. The key is to relax and keep you heal almost touching the peddle. Lift you leg to get your heal up a little and then just drop your heal as you use the upper half of the foot to strike. The key is to not tighten your calf or foot. Just relax and don’t let the adrenaline, speed or intensity of the music get you lifting your heal high. I don’t know it’s been working for me. I used to struggle with that 2nd beat you find in zeppelins Casmir. I couldn’t figure out how to do that ghost note type beat. This technique has gotten me there. I’m definitely going to be practicing this though.
I just got your new pad in the mail this morning. I've already been on it for 4 hours! It feels so nice and its actually really really fun to play (unlike other pads).
I'd recommend a beater length that hits dead center on the head or slightly longer for good leverage and momentum. for me personally I also like a fairly loose spring tension so I train my foot and ankle properly and don't overly on a super tight spring, esp for doubles. gives you room to try out heel toe or slide. If you notice JoJo's and some other guys' springs, they're so loose the beater moves a few times back and forth if you slightly pull on the spring. Hope that helps! Pls lemme know if you have any Qs haha. Happy drumming 👍
Jonathan Han my foot was going like insanely fast about 2 weeks ago. I was able to play immigrant song and shit and now it has stopped working but my heel-toe is really good now... Didn’t change any pedal settings. What is happening.
Spicy boi that happens to me if I get what your saying. For me bass drum playing varies. It’s the only part of the kit where I can be awesome one day and the next it’s just not happening. I’ve seen less and less of it than I used to but it still happens to me. One thing that helped me was to keep the spring tension as loose as possible, play more of the middle of the pedal and keep your heal really close to the floor and don’t lift your heal high. I don’t know if that is the right technique but it helped me
Has anyone ever meet Eric Moore, he seem's like a really nice person, & he never give's up on anything, i really hope i can help my niece, Learn the Awesome Drum Set, i really want her 2 master the Drum set so she can play in Church, so bad can anyone here?, give me some advice, so it can help me, so i can give her, all the help she need's. i would give anything 2 help her, but sometime's, i may not have all the answer's, & i can only teach her by ear not note's so i don't know if that's a good i dear Thank's Again for this Drum Groove :-) :-) Eric Moore :-) :-).
I was wondering this exercise like this :o -For examble if you would have this comfy to play as 60bdm. -you would play this in 50bdm like as a warm-up/making sure that it goes right -20 seconds break -then speeding up to 60bdm and playing it for 2 minutes where you change back and forward from kkskkks to kkkskks regularly. -20 seconds break And last 2 minutes and 20 seconds you would play one half 65bdm (1min and 10 seconds) and other half/last half in 70bdm. Apologies if theres some grammar mistakes but i was thinking does this kind of exercise plan make any sense thank you for this video :)
in many ways. running (not jogging!!) builds muscle super quick, which helps with control; and it helps build speed cuz you're moving your legs as fast as you can. this is why squats actually do not help that much with building speed for drumming, because you are still just standing in place. and make sure to eat the right foods after you run! :D
I think the type of pedals play an important role in your playing.I own an Alesis DM6 since I'm a beginner I thought it was better to start of with that.But a friend of mine has a mapex pedal and I found it way more easier and comfortable to play doubles and triples on it.
Definitely gotta work your tibialis anterior muscle as well, especially when you play heel down. You'll feel those suckers burn working on your technique!
Can somebody help me? I never had drum lessons but I drum in a band for some time now. When I started to teach myself to play, I think I might have accidently taught myself to always synchronise my right hand strokes (hi-hat or crash) with my right foot. This means that I have lots of difficulty moving my right foot idependantly from my right hand. I now play a single-pedal double bass drum beat by hitting one additional stroke on the (for example) hi-hat, so that my foot automatically catches the extra kick on the pedal. Anyone else have this problem or have any advice?
Mick slowly do it, think it through until you can get it right consistently. then, feel the groove and build it up to a decent speed, with the help of a metronome. keep practicing independence stuff, and eventually you'll easily be able to play groovy stuff like its second nature!
Alittle late but I just started playing about a year ago and I had the same issue. Drumeo has some lessons on it, but what really helped me after that was learning how to play "All Right Now" by Free. One of the exercises I remember sounds like a Volbeat song. Kick, hi hat, snare, hi hat, kick, repeat. Idk that seemed to help immensely and it wasn't that hard to break it. I still on occasion synchronize hands and feet together but usually only when learning something new.
That was really awesome man, I had one question though, at the end when you were playing those super fast triplets with the bass, were you using any advanced techniques like slide? Or were you simply doing the normal kick technique the you use for single kick beats.
How much can bad hamstrings affect your kick pedal playing, speed, endurance, etc? When I start practicing, pedal feels smooth and I can do doubles fast and easily, but damn after a few minutes my leg goes retarted lol. Even the simpler rudiments are hard.. I know for a fact my hamstrings are crap, got scoliosis too, but I also feel like I just don't practice enough.. lol thanks for the video!
Im practicing this to improve my control and speed, its awesome. But I have a VERY cheap pedal. To what extend a mid or high end pedal will make things easier as far as fast triples are concerned? I guess the pedal response would improve a lot, but im no sure whether or not it ll make a substantial difference. Any comments?
Drumciclist Rudimental even a dw 3000 could get the job done, if you were to look at dw pedals. It's really personal preference and finding for yourself. Head to a near music store if possible to see if there are some pedals for testing, and do further research into spring tension and beater distance, stuff like that. It might seem like a lot, but it's a lot easier than you think! No need to overpay for pedals unless you really want to/need to. Good luck!
Needed this big time! Single pedal speed will impress anyone who knows anything about drums and even those who don't. When you can play faster and more controlled single pedal than some guys can double pedal...you stand out.
It's only impressive when you can do it in softer dynamics. Everyone can play loud.
+Crimson Sunrise That would make it more impressive! Having the speed and control single pedal is pretty impressive itself. If you've got the dynamics, and you can groove...you'll draw some eyes. Definitely.
meeeee tooo this will be the next level for me
!! luv it

Eric, your playing has always been crazy awesome. But man, you look incredible. Congrats on your new health my man.
I've got to be honest, this is the one channel that keeps me coming back to TH-cam. Thank you guys for taking the time to bring joy into other peoples lives!
Wow, this is one of the few Drumeo exercises I didn't have any problems with. Thank you for what you do!
led zepelin's communication breakdown has that foot pattern in it. I played along to it for a few weeks and got my foot speed right up. Never though about trying to up the tempo even more though. Thanks man.
guitar solo part in Dazed and Confused too
White people always with their PR 😂🤣😂
Jared and the rest of the drumeo guys better watch out for their jobs. Eric's charisma is infectious and lessons are fun! haha. cheers.
Good lord, Thank you so much for adding in that part with the heel down. I play heel down and Every drum tutorial I find hardly touches on it. Thanks so much
I practiced this from 70 to 120 bpm in an hour just now. Feel really good. No short cut,keep going!
Yeah man, no short cuts ✌️ practice what you can already play, but *really* practice what you *can't* play.
I find dropping my heal after the 1st gives me the 2nd hit. If I don’t tense up I can make consistent ghost notes on the 2nd hit doing this too.

Thanks so much for that video!!! My right foot is so bad - I'm definitely going to use this exercise!
Thanks for doing heel up and down. I'm a beginner and there are many things I don't even know I don't know.
those shoes are ridiculous, i love them
Thank you for this sir. Sometimes my foot gets tired easily. I need this
I just got your new pad in the mail this morning. I've already been on it for 4 hours! It feels so nice and its actually really really fun to play (unlike other pads).
Fantastic video !!!
I was having problems with my right foot speed while playing, just right now !
LOVE IT THAT U R BRANCHING OUT IVE SEEN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING U HAVE POSTED BUT I ALSO LUVED U IN SUICIDAL TENDENCIES GOD BLESS U ERIC...
Expanding this exercise to your other foot (if you have a double pedal) is great to get both feet in shape!
Congratulations for your weight loss, you look in very good shape! This guy has habanero in that damned foot.
He gained all back now
@@misfit_94 lmao
@@misfit_94 :'(
Playing correct and steady is the base of speed.When you know what you play and hold a ritme,speed will follow.
Good exercise, I just bought a speedcobra today so this showed up right on time
3:06 - 75 bpm
3:42 - 85 bpm
4:11 - 95 bpm
"Eric Moore Masterclass" = Take My Money
Why do u say that??
Daaaaaat snaaaaaare
blast beats on that snare would be amazing
orgasm.....
Nice and tight.
Galo Asecas

this guy is a beast! great to see his development since i saw him for the first time on gospel chops
Thanks man. You're a great drummer
Hes got jared's lisp holy shit
I guess I need to see a speech therapist.
+Drumeo HAHAHAHAHA youre the dogs balls man!
+Drumeo HAHAHAHAHA youre the dogs balls man!
Lol your profile pic made your comment 17times funnier
I love to see all the Eric Moore videos!
1:56 The little 16th on the hat is off the hook. So simple but effective.
Eric,
Thanks for sharing this exercise! I'm going to start using it. Freaking awesome idea!
Hammer
What about your mallet height and tensions and distance setting on your pedal. can you explain your settings and such.
I'd recommend a beater length that hits dead center on the head or slightly longer for good leverage and momentum. for me personally I also like a fairly loose spring tension so I train my foot and ankle properly and don't overly on a super tight spring, esp for doubles. gives you room to try out heel toe or slide. If you notice JoJo's and some other guys' springs, they're so loose the beater moves a few times back and forth if you slightly pull on the spring. Hope that helps!

1:00 how come I always kick with the edge of my foot when you put your whole foot flat
Thanks for sharing Eric! Continued success:)

thank you for this video :)
I love his energy
Exquisitely done!!! Really learned a lot.
1:52 That groove🔥😭
😂 I stayed there for like 5 minutes
Great video! I will practice this a lot!
If I may add one thing. The drum tab is missing the hi-hat on the 4th beat.
Thank you so much for this exercise! Keen to get good at this :)
Really good drum beats Eric Moore
great video Eric
I'll practice this technique
That's a good sounding snare drum!
running sprints helps your speed, control and strength immensely
how so?
in many ways. running (not jogging!!) builds muscle super quick, which helps with control; and it helps build speed cuz you're moving your legs as fast as you can. this is why squats actually do not help that much with building speed for drumming, because you are still just standing in place. and make sure to eat the right foods after you run! :D
minkusink6 skipping do skipping!!
Let the foot burn 💥
Excellent! Thank you.
Thumbs way up!
Thanks so much is helped hella
i love eric man. Great exercise
I think the type of pedals play an important role in your playing.I own an Alesis DM6 since I'm a beginner I thought it was better to start of with that.But a friend of mine has a mapex pedal and I found it way more easier and comfortable to play doubles and triples on it.
Simple but effective! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Amazing cymbals too. Which is?
Definitely gotta work your tibialis anterior muscle as well, especially when you play heel down. You'll feel those suckers burn working on your technique!
My foot got burned at 105 bpm
Atleast you did a good job hold it back there
***** same im 14. Im also trying to be as fast as eric moore. Good luck
Hah I can get it up to 125 >:) Lol jk No way! I'm 14 too! I can get it up to about 110 as well.
It's really cool to meet other drummers my age, how long have you been playing
Playin since 12 yrs, although i've taken drumming much much more seriously in May
I want to get marry with that snare sound.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer yes
I think that's the TCPD14 Aquarian Snare Head. I have one and it sounds amazing in a tight tuning, get a nice crack out of it. All-Round great head.
i love this guy
Sweet! Thank you!
How do you practice the kick at 6:51???
Slide your foot forward to get the second note.
Min 1:57 that was killin it
I can hear Kurt saying "Give me back my alcohol!" 😂😂
This exersice is so much fun
its nice how all this killer gospel drummers made it so easy with a DW 9000 :D
Well presented and very informative.
Subscribed! I'm not even a drummer!
Awesome lesson! Thanks.
Nice! Thanks for the video!
I love the drums
i tried this, and great :) thank you :)
este tipo me robo el corazón hasta sus platillos quiero tener.
Cracking snare !
So you need to build also heel-down to further improve heel-up.. coz I never use heel-down, yet...
Great lesson. But the hi-hat 2nd to last hi-hat hit on the 4 is missing in the video and the sheet music PDF.
Who is that we're hearing at the end there? The music at the end? Great song
Which is the correct method to play the bass, either heel down or up? Pls tell me
Thank you
Thanks for the lesson!
How long should I practice this on a daily basis? I am getting back into bass drum technique.
Bro them shoes look like yellow peppers😂🤣😂🤣....thanks for lessons fam!!!
Does he bury the beater in the bassdrum when playing heel up?
Great thanks👍🙂
Thks bro this helps me out alot
hey amazing speed
Daaaang! That was great!
You look really great! Take care yourself, we need you :D
My foot is already burning and im just sitting in the couch watching him play
Excellent...thanks !!
thanks Eric!

Is that the tightest spring tension he's using? :)
That was really awesome man, I had one question though, at the end when you were playing those super fast triplets with the bass, were you using any advanced techniques like slide? Or were you simply doing the normal kick technique the you use for single kick beats.
Arijit Gupta looks like heel toe
When he was doing the later grooves and started to switch up the pattern, he was sliding a little bit.. i saw it lol
Plays Scoff at 2:36.
- Me: “Do you play heel up or heel down?”
- This guy: “Yes.”
Very good video! And super motivating for all drummers 👍😁
This guy? Damn you must not be into drumming

whats that sooong at the eeeend :O im craving for thaaat
Yuta Yasashi same here
...I notice your foot is further ahead of your knee. Is your hip higher than your knee, as opposed to 90 degrees??
Im practicing this to improve my control and speed, its awesome. But I have a VERY cheap pedal. To what extend a mid or high end pedal will make things easier as far as fast triples are concerned? I guess the pedal response would improve a lot, but im no sure whether or not it ll make a substantial difference. Any comments?
Drumciclist Rudimental A DW 5000 or something along those lines should be good. That or a Tama Iron Cobra
Thanks!

Snare 👀😍
He is doing the slide technique, right?
