DOUBLE STROKES TECHNIQUE / HEEL-TOE [Extreme Drumming]
Channel: Thomas Crémier
Date: 2019-05-22

Hi everyone ! 🔥

Today I’m going to answer a question many of you asked for a long time now !

WHAT IS MY FOOT TECHNIQUE ? It’s time for me to unveil and explain it.

It’s called double strokes and allows me (and many other drummers) to play very high tempos for extended periods of time.

I’ll show you in details how to understand, assimilate and master the technique to be able to play fast.

Small teaser : Last footage is 280bpm… 🥁
As always, do not hesitate to ask my anything. I will answer each and everyone of you with pleasure !
