As bass drum double strokes are becoming a more and more common technique used from drummers, doing some exercises that will improve our independence over them is a great thing that can really have an impact on our playing. Being double strokes a technique composed by both leg and ankle motion, sometimes is not so natural to be able to execute them everywhere we want. This exercise would also work for one foot double strokes not only double bass drums or double pedals, by just removing the left

What does the spring of the pedal actually do? The spring is actually the part of the pedal that does the work FOR YOU! But if you're not setting your pedals in the right way, or your technique isn't correct, you will feel a lot of effort in playing the bass drum, because you are actually fighting the spring, instead of being synchronize to it! This is a snippet of the 'The Spring (Pedal Setting)' lesson that you can find here: https://jamespaynedrums.com/shop/courses/single-lesson-courses/the-s

The very first “student” I tested my technique on was… my left foot. If it worked there, it would work anywhere. Being able to prove my own methods on myself has always been a non-negotiable part of my integrity as an educator, and in this clip I’m running the entire bass-drum pattern with both feet.

I like to make my life more complicated by doing difficult things with my left foot on a snare drum... lol. Playing on the new Tama Drums Starclassic Performer. Btw, I developed the foot technique before being able to execute these type of things, not the other way around. | James Payne Drummer

Generating strokes through motion rather than pressure is what allows you to stay relaxed even at very high speeds. Instead of driving with the calf and forcing pressure against the pedals, my approach is to keep the feet light and fluid, letting the pedal’s natural swing do most of the work. By staying relaxed and working with the mechanics of the pedal instead of fighting against it, you conserve energy, maintain control, and achieve speed with far less tension. | James Payne Drummer
