Glad to hear that and thank you :)

Oh yes the calves are great and I also do that training(included in my double bass routine) though because of the way I stay very close to the base of the pedal, I end up using quite a lot of shin muscles anyway and I've found that the heel down practice gives me more control and speed than the calf exercises over a period of training. So I do more of the shin and thigh now. And will continue to do that. However the calf is a strong muscle for sure and can be used to great speed and stamina! Cheers for that important input.

​@@ArtOfDrummingHQ How interesting! I find that my shins play a definite stabilizing role in my technique. I can see that for you they play a more active role. In my journey, focusing on calves is what gave me the biggest double bass boost, and it's interesting to see others get good results with slightly different approaches. I definitely sit a bit farther from my pedals than you, but perhaps I'll include some shin work in the near future!

I'm also experimenting with a raised ankle exercise. Suspending it off the floor and doing those taps. That should in theory get both shin and calves in one motion haha and I'm finding that I'm weak at that but willing to train it to see how it effects drumming :) cheers man!

Rock on!

Follow this routine 4x a week. Get back to me after a month :)

😂 probably a good idea to still respect the space you are sharing.

Oh hey this is an old video though so I suggest also checking out my latest double bass routines. Just go to my channel and search double bass routine. There are 2. Involves a lot of what I'm saying in this video but also a few additional very important exercises. Those should get you on the right track with your practice for now. Thanks for the heartfelt comment and sharing your struggles. I hope you'll finally see some solid progress in the last half of 2024

Try adding the muscle workouts to your every day routine. These make sure your muscles themselves are strong and you're less reliant on rebound and technique ruclips.net/user/shorts74KnloamNrY?si=VJqkjW0hH1gXZCQd keep up the effort!!

😂 very good thing to do 😀

Hope it helps!

I already have tons of those here , check them out :) ruclips.net/video/q8vI6-NX0ek/видео.htmlsi=h7T95f9FH2W3nyjX

drummers make friends :)

Have fun with it!

Great to hear! and thanks :)

¡Ese es un esfuerzo increíble! esperando tu crecimiento

Thank you :) how's it been going with the routine?

Got it!

Yes fit and healthy body = bigger potential on the drums

To take away most of the resonance. It will sound too boomy if there wasn't any muffling

Glad to hear! Cheers

😂 would sound 🔥

😂⚡⚡⚡

Got it👍

Thanks

Oh hey I got a much better and updated double bass routine here ruclips.net/video/SM-Wc6AOki0/видео.htmlsi=YezMq-LS6Rvx2Ogb thanks for the nice comment!

Right on!

Cheers and thanks!

Glad it helped!

That's awesome. You owe it to yourself for doing this routine consistently the past few days :) I've got a 2nd double bass routine you can also try ruclips.net/video/SM-Wc6AOki0/видео.htmlsi=jHx0ab13PUezKsLs although you can just stick to this for the next month. Or alternate between them when you get bored of the other one. Changing up the routine now and then helps re-stimulate the muscles. Also routine 2.0 is more focused on muscle development which is very essential for the higher speeds.

@ArtOfDrummingHQ Thanks! Also I've been wanting to ask a question. If I train legs (weight lifting) should I make my routine less intense?

The more you train, the more workload your muscles can take. So if you've been doing that for awhile, you actually can keep up the intensity of having both and they're going to help each other. You'd know if after weeks of your current intensity your legs recover to go again and again and there is no pain or injury. I realize I'm able to do more legwork too nowadays on top of teaching 8 hours a day. But 5 years back I couldn't. My legs would totally burn out and I'd experience pain in my ankle joint.

Thanks for the share. Hope you push through to a higher peak soon 💪

Try to do that side to side motion, then at the same time try rotating your arm and wrist as if you were turning a door knob continuously. Should get you a bit of circular motion. Then practice smoothing it out with how much you rotate the wrist

Try going a lot slower then. It's very normal to have weak shin muscles. My students hate this exercise the most because it burns and is very hard to control. but it gets results once you keep to it. Sometimes they go as slow as 50bpm in the beginning stages

Thank you for checking this out and writing a lovely comment :)

You got it :)

Oh hey 9kg is twice mine so definitely could have some differences. I just life my heel off the floor. No thigh/hip flexing there. Upper leg is as relaxed as you can let it be. So no extra pressure comes from them

You can start by testing out the muscle groups. See how fast each foot can play for 1 min non stop using upper/lower leg as per the exercises in the video(but feet separately). Then note the differences and close the gap between them. 2nd check how much weight is needed to move either pedal. Can get a 5kg dumbbell and put it on both pedals at the same spot and see where the beaters go to. On double pedals the shaft complicates the force needed. And also how smooth the swings go. Try to adjust the spring tension first to get the same weighted effort required for both pedals. It's very hard to get them the same feel though. You know when you try to play both the pedals with your stronger foot. Even it can feel the difference. So get that as close as possible (gear is a factor)

I have the exact same problem

Injury can reveal such things. I got injured before too from over practicing. All the best to learning the ankle technique

Here you go ruclips.net/user/shortsvWm3IRSNP9E?si=NKjw-RLSLX8s0cgY

Nice!

Got it!

Yes it was!

YEAH!!! See you at 200bpm soon!

Thank you :)
