I wouldnt want anyone to skip any fundamentals. You need them to build upon. I wouldnt want anyone to hurt themselves either.This discussion is important to future and current readers.
That was why I posted about Derek Roddy. He said just go for it. Don't worship the start slow stuff. He was one of the touchstone people to inspire a lot of others on double bass playing and made a.lot of recordings, so....
For most of us, your point is good. The point I made was you'll find highly successful, PAID people telling you the opposite advice (and also the same advice) given on forums. Listen to them all. Use what works for you.
If you're a fast twitch person already, you probably can progress quicker than most.
Those 100bpm 32nds, they took me forever to be able to play for a minute. It was a ton of work. Nothing got me there except continually working on it. When I dont work on speed for a bit, its harder to go back and do it cleanly.
