so at my school we have two drumkits without a double kick. then my friend and i decided to put both of them together so we could have band practice with a suitable drumkit without walking 7 kilometers to my friends house. i am used to a standard drumkit and when i tried the double kick i was surprised at how hard it was. any tips to get it faster? kthnx. i know this is a typical metalhead thing to ask, but help much appreciated. |

<div style="margin-(@) (@) 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(221, 221, 204);"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><font size="2"></font></span></span> ;The most common way is just to sit there with a metronome alternating between left and right feet with straight 8th/16th notes consistently. Start off at a slow speed, then build it up, and make sure you're hitting with the same strength with both feet. if your left foot's too weak you can keep your hi hat closed and just play single kick with your left foot for a while to build up the strength.<br></div>

The second option is to be Thomas Pridgen and go insanely fast on a single kick XD |

I'll have to agree with the above.
it's same with everything else related to music, start slow, Build it up!

Indeed, dont rush things, start slow and vary the grooves as much as you can rather than playing a constant 4/4 double kick all the time. |
