Hi,
I'm having troubles with so called hand-feet independency when I play double bass.
To give an example:
I have no problem with playing 1/8 notes with 16 basses at rather high speed, but when I try to play for example 1/4 note with some more variation of bass drum (call it maybe breakdown drumming) I feel a lot of difficulty. I have many problems to place my snare hit at the moment they should be and my hand hitting the cymbals or hi-hat or following the melody I play with my feet and does not provide the rhythm.
What I would like to ask is if this is a familiar problem during the double bass learning process? And if there are some good exercises to create a full hand-feet independency?
Kind Regards,
