DOUBLE BASS TECHNIQUE

Re: THE DOUBLE BASS TECHNIQUE THREAD

Ok, i found an interesting sheet of tabs containing double bass drumming. I've studied those exercises for 1 or 2 weeks now and all i can say is that they really open up your creativity in double bass drumming.
Much triplets are involved to give nice effects to grooves.
However these exercises do'nt help your speed they are ver good to practice. (you might wanna use a headphone with metronome because some are tricky to get.)

They are written by Bobby Rondinelli.

So here you go: http://www.drums-co.be/pdf/Bobby.Rondinelli.pdf

OK, I've watched the WMP files, and what you do there is a bit... well - sick!
The ostinato part is quite unbelievable! It's beautifull and seems undoable!
I'll be happy to look at that upcoming dvd.

well done!
 
Re: Double stroke roll (bass drum) + Ostinato vid.

I haven´t seen anybody else except marco minnemann with such a crazy foot ostinato playing going on, really great man. But I think what you are doing with your hands destoys it a bit and makes it sound somehow unclean to me. If you slowed it down a bit played less with your hands it would be great for me.
But that is just my impression

Re: Double stroke roll (bass drum) + Ostinato vid.

Your multiple pedal work and footwork in general take a backseat to no one my friend. I'm just now getting into this area and I can only imagine the amount of effort and dedication you put into developing that level of facility.

Or I could just say: WOW!!!

Re: double bass problems

how fast can u go when u go with your fast burst


that could help or just keep the hh going with one hand and paly 8th notes with that while 16 notes with bass drum, and try lots of diffrent speeds so u can get them into shape
 
I know it's been posted before but I need SERIOUS help with bass drum technique...

Ok..I'm not gonna dilly-dally around the situation. Here's a rough sketch:

_x x x x | x x x x
_.....o...........o
_
_
_o......o......oo
..................V

See the two eight note kicks (the two with the "V" under them)? I can't play those above 110 bps! I have absolutly NO speed in my feet whatsoever. My friend who has only been playing for two months can do that no problem. I've tried working on my techique, but I just can't seem to get it clean. I have to strain to get it out. I need help

PS: I hope the sketch comes up alright and that you can understand it.
 
Re: Double stroke roll (bass drum) + Ostinato vid.

He was calling you "friend" and implying that your footwork was second to none.
 
Re: Double stroke roll (bass drum) + Ostinato vid.

Very embarassing !!!! - No one is perfect ..... Thanks for the clarification, I read the posting too fast ...Sorry guys..
 
Re: Double stroke roll (bass drum) + Ostinato vid.

Marlos is the real deal when it comes to insane foot ostinatio work...I've never sceen anything quite like it...For all those who consider using the dualist pedal "cheating", I think Marlos would like to have a discussion with you...

Excellent work as always Marlos...

How did you get to the level you're at in independence? Any specific studies, or mentors?

Thank you for your kind words ... I think the best ostinato player out there is Grant Collins check out www.grantcollins.com the man is incredible , of course Thomas lang and Marco minemann plus the "monster" Dennis Chambers.. I will try to incorporate all the styles above to my DVD so anyone can see the development of the ostinato starting from Max roach --the drum also walzes- and Joe Morello playing an incredible solo with a 5/4 ostinato in 195something ... to todays applications with loops and polyostinatos .

Re: THE DOUBLE BASS TECHNIQUE THREAD

Try moving you foot in a swivel motion while playing those 2 fast bass notes if you only use 1 pedal. If you use 2 pedals, just work e bit on your foot independance, that will help out a lot. The post i made above yours is great to create some foot independance for double bass players.
