How to increase my Double Bassing Abilities on the Drums?
Hello I was just wondering what helps with Speed and Time. I have tried sitting higher than I would normally that seemed to help but I was wondering how the other players do it with there toes? And when I adjust spring tension whats the ideal setting for double bassing? FYI I have to Bass drums instead of a double pedal setup. One more ? whats better than Gibraltar pedals cause mine seems to be hard to kick no matter what Thanks in advance
Edit: I do use my legs mainly
Do regular metronome practice and slowly build up your speed from there. You don't need to rely solely on calves. I use a bit of thigh movement too, but strength in the calves takes you to the next level. Adjust the spring tension in the pedals so you get enough rebound for the beater to rebound back, just in time for the next stroke.
