Today’s lesson will take a look at some bass drum techniques I’ve worked on over the years. I’ll cover topics about how to strike the drum (heel up vs. heel down) as well as what to do after you strike the drum (burying the beater vs. letting the beater come up off the head). I’ll also share a couple of ways to work on playing two quick notes back to back with a single pedal. Enjoy!

These are some of the single bass drum patterns that I use:RH - Right HandLH - Left HandRF - Right FootThe first one is the double stroke roll between the right hand and the right foot (RH RH LF LF). I am applying the techniques that I demonstrated in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKFAiG...Start slow to develop these patterns. Using a metronome is a big help too.You can add some backbeats or even phrases using the left hand while the right hand is playing.The second pattern is RH LH RF RF. The third is RH LH RH LH RF RF. It is a sextuplet.The fourth is RH LH RH LH RH LH RF RF.

Mike Johnston shows a really cool way to play a double bass groove with one foot. It's basically built around a 32nd note double stroke roll between the kick and right hand(deepest floor tom), and when sped up, sounds really cool!
