Essential Bass Drum Techniques
In this video drum lesson, you will learn the two most popular bass drum techniques. This includes the heels-up and heels-down methods. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it is highly recommended that you eventually learn both methods.
The heels-up bass drum technique is more popular within various rock styles of drumming, while the heels-down method is typically used in Jazz and world styles. This is due to the fact that the heels-up method has a stronger attack, and the heels-down method is better for volume control and drum-tone.
The important thing is that you don't let a simple technique choice slow down your progress. Both of these bass drum techniques work well for beginners, and thus you shouldn't worry about one being worse than the other. As Jared Falk explains in this video lesson, it is best to start out with whichever technique comes most naturally to you. Just focus on your strengths, and over time you can develop the alternate method.
