There is basically a gap in my double bass SOMETIMES. Its sort of hard to explain. but Ill categorize what happens into 3 general tempo areas (16th notes single strokes).
slow(100-135bpm)- I can pretty much nail this tempo range whenever, with lots of power, and it feels quite easy
medium- (135-180 bpm)- its extremely hit or miss in this range. sometimes i can easily pull this off, and sometimes i cant get it going at all. It sort of feels like i cant get the double bass to get started and my ankles lock up or something.
fast (180-220 ish)- once i warm up, and get my ankles moving I can do this well and it gives a great burn in my calves. The only thing is is I generally cant start/stop this speed range on command, I sort of have to get it to start awkwardly, kind of like when you have to release the clutch slowly in a manual car.
Has anyone else had similar experiences to this?
