Learn How to Play the Bass Drum (Bass Drum Pedal Techniques) - Free Video Drum Lesson

 

Learn How To Play The Bass Drum Pedal

Another video I've been meaning to record for a long time now is this video on the two MOST popular bass drum pedal techniques used in the world today...
The "Heel Up" and the "Heel Down" bass drum pedal techniques.
 
Hopefully this video will help you to become more familiar with the bass drum, and the various techniques available to play it. Making the right choice of bass drum technique and developing it can open up whole new possibilities in your playing.
 
These bass drum techniques also happen to be two that I predominately use, which obviously made teaching this video a lot simpler for me Smile
 
Having a strong bass drum foot technique separate the "groovers" from the "bashers" - so good luck!

Please Note that all of the stickings have been written for a Right Handed drummer BUT the foot sticking (or footing) has been written specifically for me - a Left Footed drummer. Simply reverse any footing for the bass drum if you use your right foot for the bass drum.

"Sultans Of Swing" Drum Beat Free Drum Lesson (Dire Straits & Terry Williams)

Terry Williams

Merry Christmas everyone! In this Free Video Drum Lesson, as requested by my subscribers on Facebook Page, I'm going to take a look at Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits, featuring the drummer Terry Williams and his wonderful sounding groove!

The part I want to show you how to drum occurs around 4:24 into the song, the part where the vocal line sings "As the Time Bell rings..." Terry Williams plays a broken para-diddle between the ride cymbal and snare drum to replicate this "Time Bell" in a really fun and musical way.

Few drummers listen to the vocals, let alone interact with them. Terry really was a musicians drummer.

Lets check this great lick out below...

FREE PDF DOWNLOAD: You can download the music as a .PDF document by clicking the link titled "dire-straits-sultans-of-swing-drum-beat.pdf" found at the bottom of this page.
