I hope you all enjoy this one! If you'd like to take your drumming further, you can book a one-on-one online lesson with me here: https://JeffRandallDrumming.com

No one teaches foot technique, and it's essential. Thanks!

i am on a four week journey. talk faster. i told the band i was a drummer.

You should’ve brought up heel toe for doubles too. Thats my preferred way to do them. I really appreciate that you talk about staying relaxed when playing. Thats always an important part to any technique

The reason I love Jeff's videos is not just his technique or performance(which are all good), but also beacuse he has this slow, clear, solid, foreigner ear friendly tone, makes everything easier for me. Thanks man.

Hello Mr Randall… I’ve listened to soooo many drum teachers on the web, and now I finally discovered you !!!  You are the best. Thank you !!!

Been waiting long for you to make a video on this jeff. Thanks men.

Congratulate yourself, you improved my drumming skills up 2 levels with 2 vids (this one and the one on whipping stick technique) in 2 days lol. Great explanations and examples. I wont send you money coz I live in a kind of economically weak country (Czech Rep.) but honestly thank you so much man.

Good stuff Jeff. I've been using heel toe technique for years for my doubles but just recently have been working on the slide technique. After a few weeks it has come together quite well.  The "slide" is a slight misnomer to me because I always thought the foot slid on and up the pedal board. What I finally realized is that when the doubles really get up to speed the foot is in the air for a millisecond and moves forward to catch the pedal board on its way back up after the first stroke and then the second stroke is made. Kind of an "a-ha!" moment.  It takes a little getting used to and you have to really dial in your pedal settings to maximize speed and control. Spring tension not too tight is key.

I used heel down for years too. Hec. I didn't even know that heel up was a thing. I just thought that I had a weak foot. Then I started going to jam sessions and I noticed that a lot of people were getting power with their heel up. Now I'm getting the solid bass drum sound. But I'm still trying to master the slide technique so thanks so much for this awesome lesson Jeff!🥁❤

I definitely needed to see this video because I’m working on my double kicks being more in sync and not throwing off my tempo

Well, I think using the foot hi-hats with the left foot, to keep the time when we are playing, and how the foot is going to change the hi-hats sound, is a subject even more rare. I don't think that "no one" is teaching foot technique, especially those metal drummers who are totally obsessed with those bass drums.

Is it just me or should Jeff be way over 100k by now.. YouTube better RECOGNIZE! 🤨😄

Honestly all drummers should know all foot techniques to be as dynamic with feet than hands.
But that’s just my opinion 😊 it doesn’t change the fact that the video is great!

Best drumming video tips on YouTube.... once again.... thanks again Jeff! 👍

I've been watching your video's for a while now and i really like your " simple" approach. It helps me stay relaxed and inspires me to perfection my grooves. Keep makin' them video's man! 🙌🤘🏻

This is THE tutorial I was looking for. Thanks ! Very clear explanations which will help me improve.

second way is what Lars spoke as 'stomping' motion

Who in this world plays heel down? As a 10 year old kid, zero experience, zero lessons, i played heel up cause it's like the only way to practically play. Now I'm 39 hearing heel down like it's a god damn thing lol. FYI I'm garbage at drums. This guy is very good and good video 👍

thank you!!!!!! you're saving me. been frustrated on how will I improve😭
