How does a drummer do a double pedal

Answer:

Step 1: Shape Up

To prevent injury, build stamina, and increase leg muscle strength, drummers swear by the simple exercise of calf raises. Try doing three sets of 25 raises daily, and an extra set shortly before you’re going to play. Also, take leisurely bike rides or walks several times a week to strengthen the leg muscles, which will enable you to play faster.

Step 2: Make Adjustments

Adjusting your double bass pedal’s spring tension and beater angle are imperative to creating your desired sound, as well as keeping you comfortable. Spring tension allows the pedal to feel heavier or lighter; the higher the tension, the harder you’ll have to work to depress the pedal, but the quicker the beater will return. In addition, make sure the spring tension in both pedals is even. This prevents one leg from becoming faster than the other, ensuring consistent playing. The angle of the beater is usually adjustable, too. A louder sound is created when the angle of the beater is larger because the beater’s stroke is longer.

Step 3: Learn the “Heel Up” and “Heel Down” Methods

For musical styles requiring louder, faster, and more powerful strokes, the “heel up” technique is best. Pressing the pedals down in the middle of the footboards uses your entire leg, thus creating a louder sound.

The “heel down” method places both feet entirely on the footboards and uses the natural leverage of the pedals. This technique provides more control and is best used for playing less aggressive styles of music, such as jazz.

No matter what technique best suits the styles of music you play, it is important to practice both methods. This ensures versatility and flexibility in your playing.

Step 4: Practice, Practice, Practice Your Rudiments

Practicing basic drum rudiments is just as important for your feet as it is for your hands. Practice them slowly at first (and correctly), then increase your speed to further practice technique and to increase foot control. And remember, listen to your mother and sit up straight! It improves leg mobility.

One of the most common patterns to play with the double bass pedal is the single stroke roll, in which you alternate striking the drum with your right and left foot (R L R L). Paradiddles (R L R R/L R L L) and the double stroke roll (RR LL RR LL) are more advanced rudiments that require patience and skill, but they will greatly improve leg strength and speed.

Step 5: Keep a Positive Attitude

The double bass drum pedal is an advanced drumming technique that may take months to master. Don’t get frustrated, if after one month, you still can’t play the single stroke roll for four measures in a row, at 200 bpm. For a more accurate portrayal of your progress, gauge it every two months.
