My lessons are going great and I'm learning tons. Working on a song with two sixteenths together on the kick drum at 100bpm, and I feel like my foot isn't fast enough. Obviously, drummers play one-foot sixteenths a whole lot faster, so what should I learn?
It feels like both my foot isn't moving fast enough and that the pedal is not rebounding fast/strong enough. My practice kit is a Yamaha DTX430K e-drum kit with FP6110A 'real' pedal and KP-65 kick pad. I'm playing heel down and it feels like my foot is coming off the pedal since it isn't coming back up fast enough. I cranked up the spring a bit on both my practice kit and the acoustic kit at my lessons. Cranking the spring way up so the pedal rebounds faster might help, but it seems better to learn correct technique.
What can I do to get my foot moving faster?
Thanks!
