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! |

greetings Billy,
What a great lesson!. My drum teacher just hit me with a new wrinkle... ghost notes on the bass drum. Basically I am doing good if I whack 'em out in time... But now, it's loud & soft...
I play mostly heal down, and I am trying to get used to playing heal up (on both the high hat and bass drum)
cheers, eddie

Thanks Eddie! Yeah, dynamics will take your playing to whole new level. Enjoy the journey and let me know how the heel up playing goes.
