Bass Drum Setup Tips Heel Up Technique Heel Down Technique Flat Foot Technique To Bury Or Not To Bury
Choosing A Pedal With the amount of different brands and pedal specifications that we have at our disposal nowadays, choosing a bass drum pedal can be a daunting task. Like drumsticks, what to look for in a bass drum pedal can be very subjective – it depends heavily on your personal requirements. In this lesson, Jared, Sean and Dave, share their thoughts on what they look for when choosing a bass drum pedal, which will give you a greater level of confidence and knowledge when choosing one for yourself. What’s great about this lesson is that you’ll get three different sets of opinions from three very experienced drummers that have gone through many bass drum pedals. The tips and tricks shared here will help you attain a better understanding on what you should look out for in regards to build quality, features, and feel. Refer to page 146 for a number of detailed pedal reviews.

Drum Tuning & Muffling Like most things related to drumming, a good bass drum sound depends on numerous factors. Having a good understanding of some of them will help you shape the sound to your liking. There’s no such thing as “the right way” or “the only way” to tune or muffle a drum. In the video, Jared, Sean, and Dave go over their personal muffling and tuning preferences. This lesson is filled with great tips and tricks regarding not only tuning and muffling, but drumhead selection and tuning for gigs.
Module
1
The more time you spend experimenting with different types of tuning, drumheads, muffling, and miking techniques, the better you’ll understand the steps you’ll need to take in order to achieve the sound you want. It’s all about how you want to sound. If you don’t know how you want to sound, focus on the bass drum sound of some of your favorite drummers and favorite recordings for inspiration.
Beater Choice Choosing a beater is often overlooked by drummers. We tend to focus our attention on bass drum pedals, muffling and tuning techniques, however the type of beater you use influences your sound and overall feel. In this lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss how the material of beaters influences the sound, tone, and feel you get from the bass drum and auxiliary percussion. They also give some insight on what types of beaters to use on electronic drums, and how the weight of the beater influences the way you play.

Pedal Settings & Adjustments Module Bass drum pedals are extremely adjustable. Even the cheapest ones have quite a few options. It can be overwhelming to figure out exactly how each setting will affect pedal response and feel, and how to use them to get the pedals to behave as you want them to. To help you out on this, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss some of the most common pedal set-ups, and share some cool tips and tricks that will have you spending more time playing the pedals than setting them up. When it comes time to adjust your bass drum pedals, you have to be aware that you’ll get a different response and feel from them as you change their settings. Jared, Sean, and Dave go over their own preferences in this lesson, with results from various years of experimentation. Use their tips as a guide as you mess around with your pedal settings. As you’ll get to see from Jared’s preferences, even the weirdest settings can work very well. Don’t be afraid to experiment and focus on comfort and results.

Seat Height & Posture Module
A well set up throne and proper posture will enhance your drumming. Seat height and posture also allow you to play comfortably for longer periods at a time. This makes it much easier for you to enjoy the time you spend behind the kit. In this lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave go over their drum throne preferences, the way they sit behind a drum set, and discuss the advantages of their methods. They give you an overview of some of the most common problems you’ll find when using improper posture and seat height.
1
A good stool is a very important tool in helping you keep a proper posture behind the drum set. A drum throne with a back rest is a great example. It prevents you from straining your back and avoiding long term injuries. You don’t have to buy a stool with a back rest like Jared’s, but don’t forget to think about your comfort first and foremost the next time you go out to buy a new throne.
Bass Drum Setup Tips A drum kit set up to suit your body specifications makes a huge difference in your playing. Don’t underestimate the power of comfort when playing drums. The more comfortable you are the better you’ll be able to play and for longer periods of time. In this lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave dive into the world of bass drum setup, discussing bass drum and pedal positioning.

Heels Up Technique Module The heel up technique is used by the majority of rock and double bass drummers. The idea behind this technique is that of keeping the heel off of the foot plate while you perform a stroke using your whole leg. This way you can get a lot of volume and power from each stroke, especially when compared to the heel down technique. In this video lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss the heel up technique, how to execute it properly, and how to play it without burying the beater.
The way you use this technique will depend greatly on the type of sound you wish to produce. You can bury the beater on the drumhead, which is great for rock and all types of heavy music since the strokes generate a lot of power and volume, while choking the sound of the bass drum at the same time. You can play a stroke and let the beater rebound, which creates a fat and resonant sound, which is great for playing funk and any type of groove based music. In the video, Jared demonstrates how he keeps the beater off of the drumhead while using the heel up technique. If you want to know more about burying the beater, check the lesson “To Bury Or Not To Bury” in this module on page 15.
Heels Down Technique With the heel down technique the heels never lift off of the pedal. It’s a great technique for soft playing. For example, it’s a very common technique in jazz drumming. Thomas Lang however uses it for powerful and fast playing, so this technique is very versatile. In this lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave, discuss the heel down technique and how it can be applied to your drumming.

The muscles we use the most for playing the heel down technique are commonly underdeveloped, since there are very few things we do on a day-to-day basis that uses them. Heel down playing is one of the few things we can do to exercise those muscles. Strengthening them will get you playing heel down with more speed, power, and control. You must be patient when practicing this technique. It takes quite a long time to develop any muscle. Practicing heel down playing for long periods of time is the best way to ensure a fast muscle growth.
Flat Foot Technique The flat foot technique is basically a hybrid foot technique for playing fast strokes with your feet. It’s not heel up nor heel down, it’s a mix between both. In this lesson, Sean Lang introduces you to the flat foot technique, showing exactly how it’s played and how it works. This is an introductory lesson on the flat foot technique. For further explanation of the Flat Foot Technique check out Sean’s in depth explanation of it in Module #20.
To Bury Or Not To Bury Burying the beater is when you keep it in contact with the bass drum head right after performing a heel up stroke, and actually chokes the sound of the bass drum. This technique is often associated with rock drummers. In this next video, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss the advantages and disadvantages of burying the beater into the bass drumhead.

To Bury Or Not To Bury (Continued) Module Burying the beater is usually a side effect of heel up playing. If you want to be an allaround drummer, using this technique all the time won’t get you far. Jazz, R&B, Latin, and even some styles of rock require a more open tone from the bass drum. It’s important you learn how to play the bass drum with and without burying the beater. There are two good approaches for getting your beater to stay off of the drumhead. The first one is by using heel down playing. Due to the low pressure the ball of the foot has on the foot plate, it’s easy for the beater to just bounce back after hitting the bass drum. The second one is actually executed while in heel up position. Right after performing a stroke, relax the ball of the foot and let it come down to rest on the pedal. This is something hard to get at first, but like everything, diligent practice will allow you to master this approach. Watch Jared in this video as he demonstrates how he keeps the beater off of the drumhead while using heel up technique. Use his demo to study the required motions to play heel up without burying the beater.
Conclusion This first module focuses heavily on gear tips, setup, and basic foot technique. Although you can skip it all together and go right to the instructional portion of Bass Drum Secrets, we encourage you to make sure you go through all the lessons here. They are valuable resources that will really help you make the right decisions for your drumming techniques. The lessons contain material to which Jared, Sean, and Dave will refer back to during the other modules, so it’s best if you just watch them before the rest so you won’t get lost later on.

Introduction Total independence is one of the most sought out things in the world of drumming. Independence is what lets you perform whatever you feel like playing with each limb at a given time. Much like everything drum related, for getting more independence takes practice. This next video is an introductory lesson to bass drum independence. Here, Jared Falk explains what you can expect from this module, what type of exercises you’ll be working on, and gives you two very cool exercises for you to start working on your bass drum independence right away. The hand patterns provided with this lesson will be heavily used in the lessons included in this module. Nevertheless, you can combine them with every foot pattern included in the Bass Drum Secrets as well. So, once you’ve gone through a lesson in this product, go back to it and play these hand patterns with the foot patterns notated in the exercises. This is a great way for working on new ideas, independence, and to expand on the material included in this pack. Copyright © 2011 Railroad Media Inc.

Beginner Hand Patterns DVD #2 | Module #2 - Bass Drum Independence
Welcome to the beginner section of the Bass Drum Independence Module. Here we Module have given you six hand patterns and ten beginner foot patterns to combine. For each hand pattern, you go through all ten foot patterns with your dominant foot. The level of difficulty increases as you progress through each pattern. In the video, Jared takes you through some combinations between the hand and foot patterns, so you can see exactly how they should be played. Although the material in this lesson is mostly used for developing your independence, you can still apply it to your everyday playing.
2
Once you can play these combinations accurately, go through them once again adding the hi-hat foot as notated on the sheet music on page 25. You can further expand on these combinations by having your weaker foot play the bass drum patterns instead, use the hi-hat pedal to play them if you only have one bass drum pedal. Once you have that down, go through all combinations by playing the bass drum patterns with the weaker foot and the hi-hat foot patterns with the stronger foot. All of these different combinations are awesome for developing control and independence with your weaker foot.

Intermediate Hand Patterns DVD #2 | Module #2 - Bass Drum Independence
Much like the beginner lesson on bass drum independence, in this lesson, Jared takes Module you through all possible combinations between six hand patterns and ten intermediate foot patterns, so you can see exactly how they sound and how they should be played. The hand patterns are exactly the same as the ones used in the beginner lesson. The difference here is in the foot patterns, which are based around 8th and 16th notes. These patterns are challenging so make sure you start slow, get the sequence of strokes down, and then slowly increase the tempo. It’s very important that you’ve taken the time to go through the beginner lesson before trying these exercises.
2
Again, once you can play these combinations accurately, go through them once again adding the hi-hat foot as notated on the sheet music on page 25. These six hand patterns can be used in other lessons as well. You can do so by taking any beat from Bass Drum Secrets, remove the original hand pattern and add one of these six on top of the notated foot pattern. This is a great way of expanding the material on this training pack.

Advanced Hand Patterns DVD #2 | Module #2 - Bass Drum Independence
In this lesson, Jared takes you through multiple combinations between six hand patterns Module and ten advanced foot patterns, so you can see exactly how they sound and how they should be played. The hand patterns are exactly the same as the ones used in the beginner and intermediate lessons. He also teaches you how to continue to work on foot independence once you’re done with the exercises provided in this module. Make sure you’ve been through the beginner and intermediate lessons on bass drum independence before diving into these patterns as these are very challenging. Remember, start slowly, learn the sequence first, and then increase the tempo gradually.

The hand and foot patterns that we’ve given to you in these lessons on bass drum independence can be mixed and matched to create new combinations for you to work on. For instance, take the first count of hand pattern #5 and use it to replace the third count on hand pattern #2, and take the second count of hand pattern #6 and replace the second count of hand pattern #2 with it. Then, take this new hand pattern and go through the beginner, intermediate, and advanced foot patterns. This is not only a cool way of coming up with new exercises, but also of creating new drum beats. Use this concept for creating new foot patterns as well.

DVD #2 | Module #2 - Bass Drum Independence It’s essential to develop a solid understanding of jazz independence for “comping” Module purposes. Comping is a term used in jazz music to refer to the ability of complementing or accompanying other musician’s musical phrasing. The more you work on jazz independence the easier it will be for you to react on the spot with what other musicians are doing. In this lesson, Jared introduces you to the world of jazz bass drum independence by showing you how to play ten bass drum patterns based in 8th note triplets. Practicing jazz comping will also do wonders for your blues, hip-hop, reggae, and shuffle playing.

For even further work on your independence, play the hi-hat with your weaker hand and the snare drum with your stronger hand while going through different foot patterns. This is a great idea for strengthening your weaker hand and for developing control and independence with it as well.

SECRETS Module #3 - The Heel Toe Technique DVD #3
The heel-toe technique has always been somewhat of a mystery to many drummers. When taught correctly, it can be learned in a few short minutes. However, without proper instruction, it can easily take days or even weeks of trial-and-error to get it working. This Module module simplifies the process and teaches you how to play the heel toe technique with step-by-step examples. You will learn how to master the technique and how to apply it within your drumming.
3
Lessons Include: • Developing The Technique • Developing The Weaker Foot • Pedal Settings
• Bass Drum Pedals • Applying The Technique
Developing The Technique The heel-toe technique has been around for quite some time, but only recently has it become very popular amongst the drumming community. This is a great technique for playing fast double strokes with the feet, much like the slide technique. It is argued that the heel toe technique is easier to control than the slide technique, since you’re only required to learn the correct foot motion instead of having to spend time building your leg muscles. In this lesson, Jared Falk breaks down the heel-toe technique for you, showing you exactly how and what to practice to develop it. He also takes the time to debunk some of the more common myths associated with the heel-toe technique as well, like foot size, type of footwear, and type of bass drum pedal. As you practice this technique, strive for having the two motions meld into one single rocking motion with the foot. The rocking motion is what will enable you to play a fast double, since you’ll get two strokes from one single motion. Don’t slam the foot too hard onto the footboard when playing the heel stroke; easy does it. It may take you five minutes, or it may take you five hours to learn how to play this technique. Time doesn’t really matter here, you can do it. You just have to be very patient and keep at it.

Developing The Weaker Foot Having the ability to play the heel-toe technique with your feet will take your drumming to a whole new level. Even if you don’t use a double bass pedal you still have the hi-hat pedal and the bass drum pedal to work with, so you’re still a double pedal drummer. Heel-toe works great on the hi-hat, enabling you to play very fast hi-hat splashes. Watch this drum lesson and find out how to develop heel-toe with your weaker foot, so you can use it on the hi-hat pedal, on your second bass drum pedal or even on an auxiliary percussion pedal.

Pedal Settings If you only have a really cheap double bass or single bass drum pedal, don’t worry about it. The heel-toe technique can be performed on virtually any pedal there is. You don’t need to have the most expensive pedal on the market that features eighty different adjustments to be able to play this technique. In this lesson, Jared Falk shows exactly what you can adjust on your pedal that will help you play the heel-toe technique with ease.
Bass Drum Pedals Virtually any pedal works with the heel-toe technique. The type of pedal you use depends on your own personal preferences. In this lesson Jared shares his thoughts on a few pedals he thinks have the best price/quality relationship for playing the heel-toe technique. If you’re thinking of upgrading to a new bass drum pedal, this lesson will be very helpful. In the video, Jared shares three pedal possibilities for you to purchase. However, as you may be well aware of, there are a ton more out there that could be better for you. So after you’re done with this video, check out module 19 for pedal reviews on the models Jared talked about in this video, as well as some other very popular bass drum pedals.

Applying The Technique DVD #3 | Module #3 - The Heel Toe Technique
Module
3
This lesson is where the fun really begins. Here, you’re introduced to your first drum beats and drum fills that incorporate the heel-toe technique. If you haven’t taken the time to work on the previous lessons from this module, make sure you go over them first. Doing so will enable you to go through these exercises a lot quicker and with better sounding results. Applying the heel-toe technique to the drum set is the next natural step. Each exercise on this lesson works on different aspects of this technique. You have very different note values to work with, some hand-to-feet combinations, and single stroke roll to double stroke roll transitions. Jared also teaches you how to play a triple stroke using heel-toe, as well as how to use the heel-toe technique on the hi-hat pedal. Let’s start practicing the heel-toe technique by playing this beat on the drum-set. 3

Module #4 - Heel Toe Exercises DVD #3
Module #3 is dedicated to teaching you how to develop the heel-toe technique accurately. Once you’ve been through its lessons and are able to play the heel-toe comfortably with at least one foot, you can start working on the exercises Jared Falk included in this module. Module
4
This fourth module covers beginner, intermediate, and advanced drumming patterns that make specific use of this unique technique. These examples will help you get started with incorporating double strokes in beats, and will leave you well prepared for creating your own unique heel-toe-based beats and fills in the future! If you use a different technique from the heel-toe, like the slide technique for instance, you can still use every exercise in this module. You just have to replace the heel-toe double strokes with the technique you’re most comfortable with to perform bass drum double strokes. Once you’ve mastered these exercises, go through all of them with your weaker foot as well.

DVD #3 | Module #4 - Heel Toe Exercises The number of drum fills you can come up with is not limited by the number of exercises on the Bass Drum Secrets, it’s limited only by your imagination. Like Jared states in the video, after you’ve mastered the fills as notated, you can start by moving your hands around different drums and cymbals to come up with new variations. Other cool things you can do include playing some of the double strokes with the hihat pedal instead, playing the doubles as singles and spread them between the two pedals, and changing the sticking pattern of the hand strokes.

This module covers the slide technique, a popular alternative to the heel-toe technique. The slide technique can be used in many different styles of music and is a natural way to play quick double strokes.
Module
5
Lessons Include: • Introduction • Footwear & Pedal Settings • Developing The Technique
• Developing The Left Foot • Applying It Within A Beat • Applying It Within A Fill
Introduction In this lesson, Dave Atkinson introduces you to the slide technique. The slide technique is Dave’s weapon of choice for playing fast double strokes with a single pedal. This is an awesome technique to learn and develop, and much like the heel-toe, it will let you add some doubles here and there without the need to use a double bass drum pedal.

Footwear & Pedal Settings
How important is the type of shoes I wear? What about playing with socks or barefoot? I have big feet, will I be able to perform this technique properly? How do I setup the pedals to improve my playing experience? If these are some of the questions you have regarding this technique, then look no further. In this lesson, Dave answers all of those questions and much more.
Developing The Technique This technique may take a little longer to master than heel-toe, since it’s not only required of you to learn the proper motions behind the technique, but to spend some time building your leg muscles to perform it at faster tempos. In this lesson, Dave breaks down the slide technique for you, showing you exactly how and what to practice to develop it. Below are five basic exercises for you to start practicing the slide technique. 1)

Developing The Left Foot DVD #4 | Module #5 - The Slide Technique
Module
5
1)
Having the ability to play the slide technique with both feet will take your drumming to a whole new level. Even if you don’t use a double bass pedal you still have the hihat pedal and the bass drum pedal to work with. Watch this drum lesson and find out how to develop the slide technique with your weaker foot, so you can use it on the hi-hat pedal, on your secondary bass drum pedal or even on an auxiliary percussion pedal.

SECRETS Module #6 - Slide Technique Exercises DVD #4
In Module 6, you’ll get a chance to apply the slide technique within practical beats and fills. It includes a collection of beginner, intermediate, and advanced patterns that progressively increase in difficulty. Put your new found slide technique skills to work using these fun exercises, and be prepared to see a dramatic boost in the way you creatively incorporate the bass drum within music. If you use a different technique from the slide, like the heel-toe for instance, you can still use every exercise in this module. You just have to replace the slide with the technique Module you’re most comfortable with to perform bass drum double strokes. You can play the exercises with your dominant foot at first, and when you’ve mastered them go through them with your weaker foot.

DVD #4 | Module #6 - Slide Technique Exercises In this lesson, Dave shows you how to apply the slide technique to five beginner drum fills. The number of drum fills you can come up with is not limited by the number of exercises on the Bass Drum Secrets, it’s limited only by your imagination. After you’ve mastered the fills as notated, you can start by moving your hands around different drums and cymbals to come up with new variations.

Intermediate Beats
DVD #4 | Module #6 - Slide Technique Exercises After you’re comfortable with the beginner drum beats and drum fills in this module, we recommend going through this lesson next. These eight intermediate exercises are designed to get you working on the slide technique with 8th note triplet, 16th note triplet, and 32nd note foot patterns. These drum beats were designed to challenge you a bit more and to inspire new ideas in your playing.
Module
6
1)
These intermediate drum beats are loaded with very different patterns for the snare drum and for the hi-hat. You can use them to spice up other drum beats in this educational pack, or even your own. Another cool way of coming up with interesting hand patterns is to mix different sections from different beats and try them over a preexisting foot pattern. The possibilities are endless.

In this video, Dave Atkinson shows you how to play four intermediate hand to feet combinations using the slide technique. Once you’ve been through the following exercises, use the tips we gave you in the beginner lesson on drum fills and in the intermediate lesson on drum beats to come up with new variations of your own while using these intermediate exercises as a template. You could also try adding rests in some of the fills, instead of playing all the 16th note or 16th note triplet partials. Mixing different note values within the same fill is also a great way to change things up.

Advanced Beats
DVD #4 | Module #6 - Slide Technique Exercises Here, you’ll find linear drum beats, 16th note triplet and 32nd note based patterns, samba, shuffle and even soca (Soul-Calypso) based drum beats. These exercises are challenging but a lot of fun to play around with. You’ll have a blast with this lesson. In the beginner and intermediate lessons we discussed some construction techniques for building your own drum beats from preexisting ones. Here, we’ll discuss some techniques for accelerating your learning process while taking on new drum beats. The first priority when learning any pattern on a set of drums is to memorize the stroke sequence. It’s important to start slowly at first so you can make sure you’re playing the strokes in the proper sequence. You can do this in a count by count manner, that is, only when you’ve memorized the pattern inside of a given count will you move on to learn the next one. Then, you just have to work on playing the counts one after the other. Start by playing two counts back-to-back, then three and so on.
Module
6
Once you have that down, add the metronome in to start lining everything up perfectly. Since we’re handling beats that incorporate double strokes with the feet, you can focus on learning the pattern without the doubles at first – play one single stroke instead of each set of doubles. This is a great way of focusing on the feel of the beat. Get to know exactly how every thing sounds before you start adding the doubles back in. This will make it easier for you to incorporate them afterwards, since your mind will know exactly how everything must sound.

Advanced Fills
DVD #4 | Module #6 - Slide Technique Exercises In this lesson, Dave Atkinson teaches you how to execute five advanced drum fills based around 16th note triplets and 32nd notes using the slide technique. Once you’ve completed this module, you can keep working on your own variations from the examples provided here, you can go through the entire collection of exercises with your weaker foot, or you can just move on. If you want more exercises to help you work on the slide technique, check out Jared Falk’s module on heel-toe drum beats and drum fills. You can use those exercises by playing the slide technique on all the double strokes instead of the heel toe. You can also check Jared Falk’s module on playing double stroke rolls within drum beats and drum fills, to work on your slide technique double pedal chops. 3

The Element Of Groove
DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
Playing a stream of alternating single strokes with the double pedal without the involvement of any dynamics whatsoever can be a little overkill if you’re not playing in a heavy or death metal band. However, some drummers still like/need to use the double bass pedal for playing small bursts of single strokes or the odd run in music with a little more groove to it. In this lesson, Sean Lang explains on how to create groove and add dynamics to your double bass playing through groovy hand patterns and accents on the bass drum. This lesson is awesome even for those who don’t play heavier styles of rock music. You see, there are a lot of fast drummers out there, but not that many who know how to add dynamics and groove to their double bass playing. Learning these concepts will give you a big advantage over them.

Developing Balance & Control DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
Playing a constant stream of single strokes requires a lot of control and balance. You need to have enough control to play every note at exactly the same dynamic level while playing different rhythms with the hands. Developing good balance while performing those rolls is essential for keeping everything consistent. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you his method for working on control and balance, while developing your weaker foot and independence at the same time.

This lesson is a very good place to start if you’re fairly new to double bass drumming. The eight exercises provided are very basic and will get you used to playing drum beats that incorporate double bass. If you don’t have a double bass pedal or two bass drums, practice these beats with the hi-hat pedal as the slave pedal instead. 1)

Foot Assignment
DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
Foot assignment is a very interesting concept for playing broken double bass drum patterns, especially when performed with 16th notes. The concept revolves around the idea of having the lead foot perform the 8th notes (on the “and’s” and on the beats), while the weaker foot plays the 16th notes (the “e’s” and the “ah’s”). In this lesson, Sean Lang introduces this concept with seven drum beats, and shows you how you can develop it while improvising over broken double bass patterns. 1)

Single Stroke Fills
DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
In this lesson, Sean Lang shows you how to add double bass to drum fills with seven examples. He also gives you some tips on how to come up with new ones from the existing patterns. Adding double bass strokes to your drum fills is a great way of spicing them up. Players who only have a single bass drum pedal can use the hihat pedal as the slave pedal in these fills. This creates very interesting textures and some funky sounding fills as well.

Note Value Exercises
DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
As you may be well aware of, in music, it’s very common to use different note values in a single piece of music. Therefore, it’s important to have a solid understanding of how to move between different note values with ease and confidence. This adds a lot to your musical skills and will give your beat writing abilities a more diverse approach. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you seven exercises that you can use to develop a better feel when playing different note values between two pedals, and for getting used to flawless transitions between the note values.

The Herta Lick
DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
A herta is a hybrid rudiment that usually combines 16th notes with 32nd notes played as single strokes. You can also play a combination of 8th notes with 16th notes, and even of 8th note triplets with 16th note triplets. If you play double bass you’re going to love what this rudiment will do for your patterns. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you how to play seven exercises that incorporate herta’s.
Module
7
1)
If you only play a single bass drum pedal, start by performing the exercises as written using the hi-hat pedal instead of the slave bass drum pedal. This is a great drill for working on the coordination between the feet and to get them used to playing herta’s, as well as a great way of coming up with funky patterns that encompass a lot of open hi-hats. Another cool thing you can do is play all the slave drum pedal strokes with a hand on the hi-hat or ride. This completely changes the overall feel of the patterns and gets you working on interesting herta patterns between the hands and foot. These are just some quick tips to get you going.

Double Bass Warm Ups
DVD #5 | Module #8 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Dave) Playing drums is a very physical activity. Just like in any sport, it is very important you warm-up thoroughly before playing. This will help you avoid injuries and make your playing that much more relaxed, fast, and controlled. In this video lesson, Dave Atkinson teaches five cool warm-ups designed for your feet. Even if you don’t have a double bass pedal or two bass drums, you can still use these exercises with your hi-hat pedal and single pedal.

Developing The Weaker Foot DVD #5 | Module #8 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Dave)
You have to develop your feet equally if you want to be a double bass drummer. This is not only a question of speed, but of control and consistency. You won’t be able to play consistently and in time if you don’t develop your weaker foot. As for speed, you’re only as fast as your weaker foot. In this lesson, Dave Atkinson teaches you some very cool ways of developing single and double strokes with your weaker. He also shares some valuable tips that will have you playing with your weaker foot as well as you do with your stronger one. 1)

Developing Slow Speeds
DVD #5 | Module #8 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Dave)
Many double bass drummers focus on playing fast. However, playing slow is a very important ability to have since it enables you to perform double bass runs with more precision and control when at faster tempos. Practicing at slow tempos will greatly improve your double pedal chops at faster tempos. In this lesson, Dave Atkinson teaches you how and why to practice double bass at slower tempos, giving you seven exercises to work with. 1)

SECRETS Developing Speed With Singles DVD #5 | Module #8 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Dave)
In the previous lesson we discussed ways of improving accuracy and control while practicing at slower speeds. In this lesson, Dave takes a completely different route by teaching you exercises and some concepts that are sure to shorten the time you spend behind a drum set building speed. This lesson features a progress chart (page 82) that you can use to keep track of your progress each time you practice. It’s important you keep a very positive mind-set as you build your speed with a double pedal. Always remember that just like with your hands, developing the feet takes time. It takes hard work and perseverance to become proficient with a double pedal. If you keep at it you WILL succeed. Use a metronome and the progress chart, and with time and hard work you’ll become the double bass drummer you aspire to be.

How To Develop Endurance DVD #5 | Module #8 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Dave)
Developing endurance is a little bit different from developing speed. With speed building you focus more on playing quick bursts for short periods of time, while with endurance your main focus is playing for long periods of time. In this lesson, Dave gives you important tips on how to develop endurance and on how to use the progress chart (page 82) to track down your progress as you work on building your endurance. Working on endurance is not something exclusive to single stroke rolls played with the double pedal. You can use the concepts discussed by Dave in this lesson, as well as the progress chart for developing your heel-toe/slide double stroke rolls, or any other exercises or techniques featured in this educational system.

The Swivel Technique The swivel technique is a great tool that can be used to play fast single strokes with either a double or single bass drum pedal, or as a tool to help you play single stroke rolls with the feet for longer periods of time. With the swivel technique, the feet pivot on the pedals with the toes while the heels move from side to side. This will create a stroke each time you swivel your foot. In this lesson, Dave shows you how this technique works and how you can use it to increase your endurance level. Module
8
If your still struggling with this technique make sure to check out module 18 where Dave performs this technique in slow motion so you can see exactly how his legs and feet behave.
Practicing Along To Music There are a lot of drummers that don’t like to practice with a metronome. Don’t worry if you’re one of them. You can use loops or music (with or without drums) instead of a metronome. Since 99% of today’s music is recorded to a click track, you’ll have fun tracks with no tempo fluctuations to practice along to. This is a great way of practicing your double bass runs or just to experiment with different ideas on the double bass. In this lesson, Dave gives you some tips on how to practice double bass with play alongs or songs. He then plays along to YUCA’s song “Tomorrow” from their self-titled debut album, showing you how you can use a song with no double bass to practice double bass. For more playalongs like this, make sure you check out modules 15, 16 and 17. First watch the instructor play along to the song then use the provided audio CD’s to play along yourself.

Hand & Foot Independence DVD #5 | Module #8 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Dave)
Playing a constant stream of single strokes with the feet while keeping the same style of rock based hand patterns above it can become monotonous with time. Gaining a good level of independence while performing rolls with the feet is a great way of loosening up your hands for coming up with interesting drum beats and fills. In this lesson, Dave teaches you a couple of exercises that incorporate drum rudiments that will get you working on your hand independence while performing a constant roll with the feet. The rudiments featured in this lesson are the single stroke roll, the single paradiddle, the double stroke roll, the herta, the triple stroke roll, the double paradiddle, and the flam accent. Once you’ve mastered the exercises as written, try incorporating other rudiments with the hands. Playing rudiments on top of an 8th note triplet or 16th note single stroke roll with the feet is not only a great way of working on independence but on hand technique as well. This way, you can practice drum rudiments and double bass drumming at the same time.

Basic 16th Note Patterns DVD #6 | Module #9 - Double Pedal Double Strokes
In this lesson, Jared Falk explains why playing double stroke rolls with the feet is important. You’ll also get access to ten exercises that are sure to put you on the fast track to mastering double stroke rolls with the feet. The material and tips here can be used by any drummer, regardless of the technique used for playing double strokes. If you don’t know how to play double stroke rolls with the feet, we hope this lesson motivates you to learn how to. In the Bass Drum Secrets, Dave Atkinson teaches the slide technique, Jared Falk the heel-toe technique, and Sean Lang a hybrid between the slide technique and the swivel technique. Any one of those techniques can be used for playing double stroke rolls with the feet. Once you’ve mastered your technique of choice, use these exercises to develop the double stroke roll. Let’s start by developing the double stroke roll using only the feet. 1)

Herta’s With Double Strokes DVD #6 | Module #9 - Double Pedal Double Strokes
In this lesson, Jared Falk teaches you how to play ten exercises that incorporate double stroke “herta’s”. A herta is a hybrid rudiment that combines 16th notes with 32nd notes played as single strokes. You can change the “sticking” of this pattern and use double strokes to play the 32nd notes instead. If you play double bass you’re going to love this lesson.

SECRETS Module #10 - Broken Double Bass Beats DVD #6 | Module #10 - Broken Double Bass Beats
Module #10 features Sean Lang teaching broken double bass beats. These patterns are powerful for creating tight grooves with some double bass flair. You can start by learning these example patterns, then when you feel comfortable with the concepts, you can start creating your own original patterns to spice things up and boost your creativity on the drums. Broken patterns are harder to play because you’ll need to stop Module and start short bursts of single strokes rolls. This may cause some consistency and timing issues. To work around that, make sure you start practicing these exercises at slower tempos. Make sure everything lines up perfectly and that you’re not playing flammed strokes. This is essential for making these beats sound awesome at faster tempos.

If you only play a single bass pedal, you’re still a double pedal drummer because of the hi-hat pedal. These grooves are a great opportunity to give more use to that pedal and add very cool little nuances to your double pedal grooves. The first thing you can do is replace the slave bass drum strokes notated on the sheet music with the hi-hat pedal. This way, you’ll create some very cool and original 16th note hi-hat patterns between the hands and the weaker foot that will add a lot of groove to your drum beats.

DVD #6 | Module #11 - Double Bass Exercises
Most of what is played with the double bass on modern music is based on single stroke rolls. It’s important you learn how to develop independence between basic hand patterns and the feet, and very solid and consistent single stroke rolls from the get go. We take the first steps into doing so with the ten beginner drum beats written by Dave Atkinson for this lesson

Beginner Fills
DVD #6 | Module #11 - Double Bass Exercises Adding the bass drum to drum fills is a great way for spicing up your playing. In this lesson, Dave Atkinson takes you through ten drum fills that incorporate a lot of the basic techniques used for adding the bass drum into drum fills, like hand to feet combinations, playing three-note 16th note triplets just before a snare shot, and adding cool little nuances with cymbals while playing double bass runs. You can still gain a lot from these drum fills if you’re a more experienced drummer. Use them as inspiration for coming up with new drum fills of your own, or play them at higher speeds for even more of a challenge. Patterns #6 and #7 are great for practicing the double bass slide triplet technique.

DVD #6 | Module #11 - Double Bass Exercises This lesson mixes things up a bit by having you play drum beats that feature different note values. You’ll also get to learn how to play a 16th note triplet double bass/ tom beat based on the double paradiddle, and the main pattern for the song “Hot For Teacher” by Van Halen. The exercises included in this lesson require a certain degree of independence between your hands and feet, and having the ability to transition smoothly between different note values using the feet.

SECRETS Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats DVD #7
Welcome to the “Metal & Blast Beats” portion of the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0. This module is totally dedicated to the world of blast beats, and includes tips on developing the weaker foot and adding groove to blast beats. If you’re not into this style of music or drumming, you might feel discouraged to learn the content in these lessons. However, the exercises here are great for developing speed, coordination, balance, and single stroke rolls with both hands and feet. These are all things that you as a drummer have to strive for, no matter the styles of music you enjoy or the number of pedals you like to use. Give this module a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Introduction In this video, Sean introduces some of the subjects covered in this module and talks about how they can benefit you even if your not a metal drummer.
Module
12
One Foot vs. Two Feet A blast beat is basically a single stroke roll broken up between the snare drum and the bass drum, with the hi-hat/ride hand playing unison strokes with the bass drum. The bass drum figures are usually counted as 8th or as 16th notes, while the hands are counted as 16th or 32nd notes. Since the bass drum notes are slower than the ones on the hands, you can use a single foot to play them. However, some drummers tend to use two feet instead. In this lesson, Sean Lang addresses this subject by explaining the pros and cons of using one foot verses two feet while performing blast beats.

Skank Blast
DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats Skank beats are slower versions of traditional blast beats. They were being played in the United States and in Europe just before blast beats were first invented. You can think of skank beats as punk beats or as fast and heavy polkas as well. In this lesson, Sean Lang takes you through some of the more traditional ways of playing skank beats with 8th notes, 16th notes and 8th note triplets. 1)

Hammer Blast
DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats Hammer blasts were actually invented by drummers who, being new to the world of blast beats, couldn’t achieve the speeds and coordination required to play traditional blast beats. If you’re a beginner, taking on this lesson is a great way of learning your first blast beats, or to add a very different feel to your blast beats if you’re a more experienced drummer. In the video, Sean Lang teaches four of the most common hammer blasts found in heavy metal music, as well as a couple of cool variations that show you how to add groove to your hammer blasts. Most exercises in this lesson have the stronger foot playing 8th notes. Once you’ve mastered them, use the exercises here to work on your weaker foot. Start by playing the patterns with your weaker foot. This will strengthen that foot greatly and will have you working on coordinating the left and right limbs of your body. Finally, break the foot pattern between your feet for practicing some double bass hammer blasts while leading with your stronger foot as well as your weaker foot.

Bomb Blast
DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats The Bomb blast is another very cool variation on the traditional form of blasting. You can think of it as an inverted traditional blast beat played with a double pedal. The cymbal pattern is played on the “e’s” and the “ah’s” instead of on the beat and on the “and’s”. In this lesson, Sean Lang shows you how to play the traditional bomb blast drum beat and a couple of variations that include different cymbal and snare drum patterns.

Gravity Blast
DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats The gravity blast was the last form of blast beat to be created in the world of extreme metal drumming. This blast beat includes the use of a hand technique known as the one handed roll (also known as the freehand technique), which was first introduced to the drumming community by Kenwood Dennard, and made popular by Johnny Rabb. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you how to perform the one handed roll and how to use it within blast beats. The one handed roll is a technique that lets you play a very fast single stroke roll with only one hand. This is achieved by using the rim of the snare as a pivoting point for pushing and pulling the stick against it with an up and down motion of the arm. The down stroke of the freehand technique is notated on the middle line of the sheet music. The up stroke is notated on the space just above that line. If you are struggling with the one handed roll, check out the slow motion footage of Jared Falk and Sean Lang executing it in module #18

Traditional Blast
DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats The traditional blast was the first type of blast beat to be created. It originated in the European punk and hard-core movements as a way to create a wall of noise with no rhythmic value whatsoever. Death metal bands from the ’90s were the ones responsible for shaping it to its current form by giving it rhythmic value. A blast beat is basically a single stroke roll broken up between the snare drum and the bass drum, with the hi-hat/ride hand playing unison strokes with the bass drum. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you how to play the traditional blast and how to use it with music. Beat #1 is the traditional blast while beat #2 is a variation on the traditional blast. Once you’ve mastered these two exercises, take the hi-hat patterns from the other blast beat lessons on this module and use them here instead. This is a great way for coming up with new traditional blast variations. Another cool option is to play the 8th note foot pattern with a double pedal instead. This will be essential once you get to extremely high speeds. The exercises here are also great options for improving your weaker foot independence, stamina, power and control.

Hybrid Hammer Blast DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats
Hybrid hammer blasts are a very visual and economic way of playing hammer blasts. This type of blast beat was actually invented by Sean Lang and uses the Swiss army triplet the flam tap drum rudiments. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you how to play hybrid hammer blasts beats and how to combine them to create odd-time signature blast beats. With these blast beats you won’t overwork any hand in particular, because you’ll be spreading the amount of strokes between the two of them. This way, it will be easier for you to perform drum fills around the drums after blasting throughout songs. This is also a great way for beginner or slower drummers to get into blasting. Remember that the flam tap hammer blast (beat #1) and the Swiss army triplet hammer blast (beat #2) should be played without the flams. Practice these exercises slowly at first making sure you play unison strokes – known as flat flams or double stops – instead of flams, before you start increasing the tempo on your metronome.

Developing Speed With One Foot In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches two cool drills that are sure to be useful for any drummer. These exercises can be used for developing your heel down playing or your heel up playing. Thus, they are useful for drummers that don’t even play heavy metal music or rock. They were designed for developing the main foot, but can be used for enhancing power, speed, and control with the weaker foot as well.
Creating Groove Within Blasts Blast beats and groove are words that do not match that well. When we think of groove we think of the great drummers of James Brown, with all those slick and funky drum beats, or the great gospel drummers of today. However, it’s possible to add the element of groove to whatever you play, including blast beats. In this lesson, Sean discusses some ways of adding groove to blast beats, and demos them so you can see exactly how these techniques can really spice up your speed metal beats.

SECRETS Module #13 - Rudiments With The Feet DVD #7
Playing rudiments with the feet is a massively under-rated concept of bass drumming. A lot of drummers assume that rudiments are only for the hands, but this module opens up new possibilities by utilizing the rudiments with your feet. Jared Falk takes you through playing 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11 stroke rolls, as well as playing swiss army triplets all with your feet. With this module you can create thousands of new drum beats and fills, all by using the rudiments with your feet.

Swiss Army Triplets
DVD #7 | Module #13 - Rudiments With The Feet In this lesson, Jared Falk teaches you how to perform the Swiss army triplet with the feet and how to use it for playing drum beats and drum solos. This rudiment is one of the patterns from the flam family of drum rudiments, and is comprised of two offset double strokes. It’s this offset that gives birth to the flammed strokes. Give this lesson a shot, you won’t be disappointed. If you’re having any issues in playing this rudiment with the feet, watch the slow motion video of Jared’s feet in action in module #18, as he performs the Swiss army triplet. Remember that you’re not limited to the heel-toe technique for playing this rudiment, use whatever technique you feel most comfortable with.

SECRETS Module #14 - Hand To Feet Combinations DVD #7
This module is one of the coolest modules within the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0 pack. Here, Jared, Dave and Sean all give their take on unique hand to feet combinations. By the end of this module you will be able to create your own hand to feet combinations for use within beats, fills, and creative drum solos! This module will open new doors for your drumming and expand your creativity when you sit down at the kit.
Jared Falk’s Hand To Feet Combinations Hand to feet combinations are basically linear patterns used as drum fills. Linear patterns are played without overlapping strokes, so you don’t play unison figures during the patterns. In this lesson, Jared Falk teaches you his method for coming up with hand to feet combinations, making it easy to start creating your own patterns right away. Once you’ve written a pattern, practice it between the snare and the bass drum as Jared does in the video. The biggest problem you’ll find when playing these patterns is playing the notes on time. The solution for this issue is to start practicing them very slowly. Increase the tempo on your metronome once you have the pattern down and eventually you’ll want to start moving your hands around the various drums and cymbals instead of keeping them on the snare drum all the time.
Module

There are other cool ways for you to mix things up a bit. You can alter the dynamics of some of the strokes, add rests instead of playing a continuous stream of notes, use the hi-hat pedal instead of the slave bass drum pedal for playing double pedal hand to feet combos, and even use these patterns for coming up with linear drum beats by moving one hand to the hi-hat/ride while keeping the other one on the snare.

SECRETS Sean’s Hand To Feet Combinations DVD #7 | Module #14 - Hand To Feet Combinations
In the last lesson of this module, we’ll be taking a look at Sean’s hand to feet combos. The patterns he teaches here are mostly played as 16th notes, 16th note triplets, and 32nd notes. These patterns are great for heavier styles of music. You’ll notice that throughout the exercises, Sean adds small things that make a big difference in the overall feel and sound of these patterns. He uses rudiments like the single paradiddle-diddle, the herta, and the flam for sticking pattern diversity and for getting different textures out of his drum set. He uses dynamics on the snare drum, incorporates cymbals, and mixes the note values as well. These are all great ways for spicing up your hand to feet combos. L

Module #18 - Slow Motion DVD #11
Module #18 features all of the slow motion footage from Bass Drum Secrets compiled for easy viewing. The module includes slow motion footage for the slide technique, double pedal slide technique, swivel technique, heel-toe technique, double stroke herta’s, feathering the bass drum, swiss army triplets, one handed roll, break beat, gravity blast, double pedal single strokes and much more. This footage shows you exactly how each of these techniques are played in slow motion.
Slide Technique The slide technique is used to play fast double strokes with what looks like to be one single motion. However, as you must have learned by now, the slide technique incorporates two different motions that are performed at a high level of speed. Here, the slide technique is broken down for you with slow motion video.
Double Pedal Slide Triplet The double pedal slide triplet technique is used to play fast triple strokes by combining a double pedal with the slide technique. Here, this technique is broken down for you with slow motion video. Module

Double Pedal Double Strokes The slide technique can be used to play very fast double stroke rolls with your feet. This slow motion video is a great tool for helping you understand exactly what is going on with Dave’s feet as he’s performing a double stroke roll with the slide technique. This video will enhance your learning experience tremendously. You’ll be playing double stroke rolls with the slide technique in no time.
Double Pedal Single Strokes Single stroke rolls are the most common type of patterns played between the feet. Thus, it’s very important you have a solid understanding on how to play them accurately.
Feathering The Bass Drum Feathering the bass drum is the name given to the bass drum foot technique used for playing very soft strokes on the bass drum. This is most commonly used in the world of jazz music where the bass drum is more felt than heard. The best way to achieve this level of dynamics is by playing the heel-down technique.
Heel-Toe Technique The heel-toe technique is used to play fast double strokes with what looks to be a single rocking motion. However, as you must have learned by now, the heel-toe technique actually incorporates two different motions.

Heel-Toe Double Stroke Roll The heel-toe technique can be used to play very fast double stroke rolls with your feet. This slow motion video is a great tool for helping you understand exactly what is going on with Jared’s feet as he’s performing a double stroke roll with the heel-toe technique.
Heel-Toe Triple Stroke The heel-toe technique can be used to play triple strokes. Here, this technique is broken down for you with slow motion video.
Heel-Toe Hi-Hat Splash The heel-toe technique is mostly used on the bass drum but it can be applied to whichever pedal you’d like. When used with the hi-hat pedal, the heel stroke generates a hihat splash and the toe stroke closes the hi-hat, which is also known as hi-hat “chick”.
Heel-Toe Over Multiple Pedals You can use this technique to play each stroke of the double on different pedals. Here, the heel-toe is played between the hi-hat pedal and the slave bass drum pedal. Module

One Handed Roll The one handed roll, also known as freehand technique is a great technique for playing a very fast single stroke roll with only one hand. This technique uses the rim of the snare as a pivoting point for pushing and pulling the stick against it with an up and down motion of the arm.
Break Beat Break beats are fast and very syncopated drum beats that can be heard in music genres like jungle and drum & bass.
Double Pedal Single Strokes Single stroke rolls are the most common type of patterns played between the feet. It’s very important you have a solid understanding on how to play them accurately. When you get to higher speeds, you’ll naturally transition from using full leg motions to using the flat foot technique. Module

Module #20 - Bonuses DVD #12
In this “bonuses” module, we have included some fun and creative behind the scenes footage. Some of the content includes all three instructors playing in unison, plenty of drum solo footage, how to play the flat-foot technique, what triggers are and how to use them, gear talk, interviews of all the instructors, behind the scenes footage from the making of BDS, and much more. Nothing got held back, this section includes everything that didn’t naturally fit somewhere else.
Playing In Unison Playing along with other drummers is a great way of having a good time. In this bonus video, Jared, Sean and Dave play a bunch of beats and fills in unison. Much like a drum line, they play the exact same rhythmic figures at the exact same time.
Double Pedal Boot Camp Sean Lang’s “Double Pedal Boot Camp” is a regiment designed to increase power, speed, and endurance of your feet. The boot camp includes a total of sixteen exercises. Work through them without stopping, playing sixteen repetitions per exercise. This is a great system for equalizing your feet, so use it even if you only have a single bass drum pedal. Sean plays the entire boot camp at 85 BPM, which takes him around fifteen minutes to complete. If you’re only able to play the fastest exercise at 43 BPM you’ll take twice as long to go through it. Make sure you have a good idea of how much time of your practice session this will eat up. This is important because you may not have the time needed to go through the entire boot camp without stopping. For the boot camp to work properly, you’ll want to make sure you go through all exercises without stopping. So plan your practice sessions ahead of time, and if you have to, decrease the number of repetitions per exercise so that you’re able to play every pattern everyday.

The hands play a standard 8th note rock hand pattern on the hi-hat and on the snare drum throughout the whole boot camp. This is nothing fancy and serves the purpose of having your hands do something simple while you go through different hand patterns. Once you’re able to play these exercises leading with your stronger hand on the hi-hat, try going through them while leading with your weaker hand. You can also switch hands while you’re going through the exercises. This will do wonders for your weaker hand.

Flat Foot Technique The flat foot technique is a hybrid between heel up and heel down techniques. It’s especially useful for playing fast strokes with your feet. In this lesson, Sean Lang goes over the flat foot technique with an in-depth analysis of its mechanics, and teaches you some cool ways of practicing it without having to be behind a drum set. This technique will add a lot to your drumming, whether you play single or double bass drum pedal. The double pedal boot camp featured in this module is great for you to practice transitions from normal strokes played at slower speeds, to the flat foot technique when you get to higher tempos.
Double Strokes With One Foot Throughout the Bass Drum Secrets modules you’ve been taught various ways of playing fast double strokes with your feet. Jared uses the heel-toe technique, Dave uses the slide technique, but what about Sean? In this lesson, Sean Lang shows you how he combines the slide technique with the swivel technique to play fast double strokes with only one foot. This lesson has a lot of information regarding the way you approach foot technique.
Drum Solo #1 In this video, Dave Atkinson plays a drum solo based around some very cool rhythmic ideas performed on the toms. This solo gains intensity by adding more and more bass drum. This drum solo shows exactly how using the double bass can add a lot to the Module overall feel of a drum solo, and really help increase the energy and interest of what you’re creating. There is a lot of content here to inspire and entertain. You can take some of Dave’s ideas and apply them to your own solos, or mix and match the patterns he plays here to come up with new drum fills and drum beats.

Drum Solo #2 The drum solo played by Dave Atkinson here is based around some very cool rhythmic ideas performed on the toms. This solo is different from the previous one in that Dave focus on creating groove based ideas around the drum set, rather than playing rhythmic patterns. You’ll notice that Dave plays drum beats that sound very good in the context of the drum solo, and uses some of the drum fills he teaches in this product to spice up his performance. As you can see, the beats and fills you’ll learn how to play in the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0 can and should be applied to drum solos. Everything you know how to play on the drum set is a valid option. Always keep that in mind when you’re coming up with your own drum solos.
Drum Solo #3 In this video, Sean Lang plays a drum solo which features some very cool ideas played between the snare drum and the bass drum. These patterns give his solo a somewhat similar feel to what you hear in American military marches. His bass drum phrasing is also very original, in that he uses it more as a main voice instead of just using it to play hand to feet combinations and single stroke rolls. Sean built quite an interesting solo here. His bass drum motifs should be further studied, so you can see how to change things around with the bass drum and some new rhythmic ideas.
Drum Solo #4 Heavy and speed metal drummers are usually perceived as one-dimensional. They are considered as speed freaks, filled with chops and power but zero dynamics and groove. This drum solo comes to show how that can be so far from the truth, with some very cool rhythmic ideas and dynamic contours. From hi-hat splashing to different rhythmic ideas on the bass drum, to some cool snare drum licks, this drum solo really tells a story worth watching and most important of all, it’s worth hearing.

Drum Solo #5 In this drum solo, Jared Falk introduces a very cool concept used in a lot of modern drum soloing – ostinatos. An ostinato is a repeated rhythmic idea, which in this case is represented by alternating 5 stroke rolls played between the feet throughout the solo. Jared than improvises a lot of groove based ideas with the hands over the ostinato. Watch this drum solo so you can see how playing rudiments with the feet can be something really effective.
Drum Solo #6 You can think of this drum solo as an evolution of the previous one. Jared built this solo around a foot ostinato once again. This time around, he went with a 6 stroke roll based ostinato played with the heeltoe technique and broken up between the hi-hat and the bass drum. His hands play tribal sounding patterns that are sure to keep your creative fluids going. Give this drum solo a try – you won’t be disappointed. Separating the feet between different sound sources is a great way for spicing up your foot ostinato based drum solos. Instead of keeping your feet on the same pedals throughout the entire solo, move them to other pedals from time to time while keeping the same rhythmic idea going. The hand patterns played here sound very tribal because of the triplet based ideas Jared plays around the drum set, and because of the timbale-like snare sound he gets from turning the snare wires off.
Drum Solo #7 Module
20
This last drum solo is based around another foot ostinato. This time around, Jared plays a 7 stroke roll throughout the entire solo with the heel-toe technique. His hands play very interesting ideas as well. He starts with some cymbals strokes and moves to tomtom based patterns, before going into a groove based section. Here, you’re caught off guard with a very cool transition that sees a 4/4 groove morph into a 7/8 – very cool. This is a very diverse and original drum solo that is sure to inspire you. Check it out!

Drum Battle #1 In this video, Jared, Sean, and Dave take part in a very cool drum battle. A drum battle is nothing more than a bunch of drummers having fun while trading solos between them. The solos in this battle are played on very small drum kits comprised of snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat. You’ll find great ideas here that you can steal and incorporate into your drumming.
Drum Battle #2 This next drum battle has a lot of double bass drumming going on. You’ll find great ideas here that you can steal and incorporate into your drum solos, drum beats and drum fills. The solos in this battle are played on very small drum kits comprised of snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat. This is a great way of making any drummer work on expanding their rhythmic vocabulary, due to the reduced number of instruments. Have fun with this very cool battle.
Drum Battle #3 The last drum battle on the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0 starts out with a very cool break beat. It doesn’t take long for the double bass galore to take over. Sean kicks this video into full gear with very fast and precise double bass runs. The heel-toe is felt heavily in this solo, especially due to the high level of speed Jared is able to inject to the battle with it. Dave takes care of business with some very punk based snare drum work and fat broken bass drum runs. You’ll find great ideas here that you can use and incorporate into your drum solos, drum beats and drum fills. The solos in this battle are played on very small drum kits comprised of a snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat.

Gear Talk In this video, Sean Lang talks about the gear he used for the recording of the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0. He discusses some of the aspects he likes the most about it and why he chose to use it in the first place. He also gives some cool gear tips to help you out when choosing your own.
Triggers Triggers are primarily used to monitor the bass drum on heavy metal music. This is especially relevant when you’re playing at really fast tempos. The bass drum sound at those types of speed gets quieter since you have to play very close to the drumhead. By triggering the bass drum you allow the strokes to cut through the mix. In this video, Sean clears the air about some of the most common misconceptions regarding triggers, and shows you the sound differences between triggered and acoustic sounding bass drum strokes. Triggers do not make you go any faster on the drums; the only thing that can really make you do that is a lot of practice. Triggers have become a staple of heavy metal music by giving the bass drum a very recognizable punchy and “clicky” sound. These pieces of hardware can be used for a lot of other things and can be used on different drums. You can add sound effects to your drums, trigger lights, sample, you name it. Triggers are great tools for adding different nuances and layers to your music, and to your drumming.

Track List The final section of Bass Drum Secrets contains four MP3 CD’s and six play along CD’s for practicing. The MP3 CD’s contain hundreds of examples per disc, which you’ll have to rip to your computer or MP3 player in order to sort through all the examples. These examples follow along with all the examples shown throughout the product at variable tempos. The MP3 CD’s track listing may look confusing at first, but it’s laid out very simple so you can find which example you want to listen to quickly and with ease. From left to right, the first number represents the track number, the second is the module the example is located in, and the last number is the example number.
