Module #1 - Getting Started
DVD #1
Module
Introduction
The “Getting Started” Module is the perfect introduction to BDS 2.0. You will get to
know your three instructors: Jared, Sean, and Dave while learning essential bass
drum fundamentals.
Lessons Include:
• Choosing A Pedal • Bass Drum Setup Tips
• Drum Tuning & Muffling • Heel Up Technique
• Beater Choice • Heel Down Technique
• Pedal Settings & Adjustments • Flat Foot Technique
• Seat Height & Posture • To Bury Or Not To Bury
• Bass Drum Speed Tips
Choosing A Pedal
With the amount of different brands and pedal
specifications that we have at our disposal
nowadays, choosing a bass drum pedal can
be a daunting task. Like drumsticks, what to
look for in a bass drum pedal can be very sub-
jective – it depends heavily on your personal
requirements. In this lesson, Jared, Sean and
Dave, share their thoughts on what they look
for when choosing a bass drum pedal, which
will give you a greater level of confidence and
knowledge when choosing one for yourself.
What’s great about this lesson is that you’ll

get three different sets of opinions from three
very experienced drummers that have gone
through many bass drum pedals. The tips and
tricks shared here will help you attain a better
understanding on what you should look out for
in regards to build quality, features, and feel.
Refer to page 146 for a number of detailed
pedal reviews.

Drum Tuning & Muffling
Like most things related to drumming, a good bass drum sound depends on numerous Module
factors. Having a good understanding of some of them will help you shape the sound to
your liking. There’s no such thing as “the right way” or “the only way” to tune or muffle a
1
drum. In the video, Jared, Sean, and Dave go over
their personal muffling and tuning preferences. This
lesson is filled with great tips and tricks regarding not
only tuning and muffling, but drumhead selection and
tuning for gigs.
The more time you spend experimenting with differ-

ent types of tuning, drumheads, muffling, and miking
techniques, the better you’ll understand the steps
you’ll need to take in order to achieve the sound you
want. It’s all about how you want to sound. If you don’t know how you want to sound,
focus on the bass drum sound of some of your favorite drummers and favorite record-
ings for inspiration.
Beater Choice
Choosing a beater is often overlooked by drummers. We tend to
focus our attention on bass drum pedals, muffling and tuning tech-
niques, however the type of beater you use influences your sound
and overall feel. In this lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss how
the material of beaters influences the sound, tone, and feel you get
from the bass drum and auxiliary percussion. They also give some
insight on what types of beaters to use on electronic drums, and
how the weight of the beater influences the way you play.

Pedal Settings & Adjustments
Module Bass drum pedals are extremely adjustable. Even the cheapest ones have quite a few
options. It can be overwhelming to figure out exactly how each setting will affect pedal
response and feel, and how to use them to get the pedals to behave as you want them
to. To help you out on this, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss some of the most common
pedal set-ups, and share some cool tips and tricks that will have you spending more
time playing the pedals than setting them up.
When it comes time to adjust your bass drum pedals, you have to be aware that you’ll
get a different response and feel from them as you change their settings. Jared, Sean,
and Dave go over their own preferences in this lesson, with results from various years of
experimentation. Use their tips as a guide as you mess around with your pedal settings.
As you’ll get to see from Jared’s preferences, even the weirdest settings can work very
well. Don’t be afraid to experiment and focus on comfort and results.

Seat Height & Posture
A well set up throne and proper posture will Module
enhance your drumming. Seat height and
posture also allow you to play comfortably
1
for longer periods at a time. This makes it
much easier for you to enjoy the time you
spend behind the kit. In this lesson, Jared,
Sean, and Dave go over their drum throne
preferences, the way they sit behind a drum
set, and discuss the advantages of their
methods. They give you an overview of
some of the most common problems you’ll
find when using improper posture and seat
height.
A good stool is a very important tool in help-

ing you keep a proper posture behind the
drum set. A drum throne with a back rest
is a great example. It prevents you from
straining your back and avoiding long term injuries. You don’t have to buy a stool with a
back rest like Jared’s, but don’t forget to think about your comfort first and foremost the
next time you go out to buy a new throne.
Bass Drum Setup Tips

A drum kit set up to suit your body speci-
fications makes a huge difference in
your playing. Don’t underestimate the
power of comfort when playing drums.
The more comfortable you are the better
you’ll be able to play and for longer peri-
ods of time. In this lesson, Jared, Sean,
and Dave dive into the world of bass
drum setup, discussing bass drum and
pedal positioning.

Heels Up Technique
Module The heel up technique is used by the majority of rock and double bass drummers. The
idea behind this technique is that of keeping the heel off of the foot plate while you
perform a stroke using your whole leg. This way you can get a lot of volume and power
from each stroke, especially when compared to the heel down technique. In this video
lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave discuss the heel up technique, how to execute it prop-
erly, and how to play it without burying the beater.
The way you use this technique will depend greatly on the type of sound you wish to
produce. You can bury the beater on the drumhead, which is great for rock and all types
of heavy music since the strokes generate a lot of power and volume, while choking the
sound of the bass drum at the same time. You can play a stroke and let the beater re-
bound, which creates a fat and resonant sound, which is great for playing funk and any
type of groove based music. In the video, Jared demonstrates how he keeps the beater
off of the drumhead while using the heel up technique. If you want to know more about
burying the beater, check the lesson “To Bury Or Not To Bury” in this module on page
15.
Heels Down Technique

With the heel down technique the heels never lift off of the pedal. It’s a great technique
for soft playing. For example, it’s a very common technique in jazz drumming. Thomas
Lang however uses it for powerful and fast playing, so this technique is very versatile. In
this lesson, Jared, Sean, and Dave, discuss the heel down technique and how it can be
applied to your drumming.

Module

The muscles we use the most for playing the heel down technique are commonly un-
derdeveloped, since there are very few things we do on a day-to-day basis that uses
them. Heel down playing is one of the few things we can do to exercise those muscles.
Strengthening them will get you playing heel down with more speed, power, and control.
You must be patient when practicing this technique. It takes quite a long time to develop
any muscle. Practicing heel down playing for long periods of time is the best way to
ensure a fast muscle growth.
Flat Foot Technique

The flat foot technique is basically a hybrid foot technique for playing fast strokes with
your feet. It’s not heel up nor heel down, it’s a mix between both. In this lesson, Sean
Lang introduces you to the flat foot technique, showing exactly how it’s played and how
it works.
This is an introductory lesson on the flat foot technique. For further explanation of the
Flat Foot Technique check out Sean’s in depth explanation of it in Module #20.
To Bury Or Not To Bury

Burying the beater is when you keep it in contact with the bass drum head right after
performing a heel up stroke, and actually chokes the sound of the bass drum. This
technique is often associated with rock drummers. In this next video, Jared, Sean, and
Dave discuss the advantages and disadvantages of burying the beater into the bass
drumhead.
15 BASSDRUM
BASSDRUM
SECRETS
To Bury Or Not To Bury (Continued)
Module Burying the beater is usually a side effect of heel up playing. If you want to be an all-
around drummer, using this technique all the time won’t get you far. Jazz, R&B, Latin,
and even some styles of rock require a more open tone from the bass drum. It’s impor-
tant you learn how to play the bass drum with and without burying the beater. There are
two good approaches for getting your beater to stay off of the drumhead.
The first one is by using heel down playing. Due to the low pressure the ball of the foot
has on the foot plate, it’s easy for the beater to just bounce back after hitting the bass
drum. The second one is actually executed while in heel up position. Right after per-
forming a stroke, relax the ball of the foot and let it come down to rest on the pedal. This
is something hard to get at first, but like everything, diligent practice will allow you to
master this approach. Watch Jared in this video as he demonstrates how he keeps the
beater off of the drumhead while using heel up technique. Use his demo to study the
required motions to play heel up without burying the beater.
Conclusion
This first module focuses heavily on gear tips, setup, and basic foot technique. Although
you can skip it all together and go right to the instructional portion of Bass Drum Se-
crets, we encourage you to make sure you go through all the lessons here. They are
valuable resources that will really help you make the right decisions for your drumming
techniques. The lessons contain material to which Jared, Sean, and Dave will refer back
to during the other modules, so it’s best if you just watch them before the rest so you
won’t get lost later on.

Module #2 - Bass Drum Independence
DVD #2
Bass Drum Independence is something that a lot of drummers struggle with. Separating
your hands from your feet and your right foot from your left foot is no easy task. That’s Module
where this module hits the mark. It includes beginner, intermediate, and advanced hand
patterns that are designed specifically to take your bass drum independence to the next
2
level. Then once you have completed the module, you can apply your new skills with
some of the included drum play along songs.
Lessons Include:
• Introduction
• Beginner Exercises
• Intermediate Exercises
• Advanced Exercises
• Jazz Exercises
Introduction
Total independence is one of the most
sought out things in the world of drum-
ming. Independence is what lets you
perform whatever you feel like playing
with each limb at a given time. Much
like everything drum related, for get-
ting more independence takes prac-
tice. This next video is an introductory
lesson to bass drum independence.
Here, Jared Falk explains what you
can expect from this module, what
type of exercises you’ll be working on,
and gives you two very cool exercises
for you to start working on your bass
drum independence right away.
The hand patterns provided with this lesson will be heavily used in the lessons included
in this module. Nevertheless, you can combine them with every foot pattern included in
the Bass Drum Secrets as well. So, once you’ve gone through a lesson in this product,
go back to it and play these hand patterns with the foot patterns notated in the exercis-
es. This is a great way for working on new ideas, independence, and to expand on the
material included in this pack.

Beginner Hand Patterns
DVD #2 | Module #2 - Bass Drum Independence
Welcome to the beginner section of the Bass Drum Independence Module. Here we
Module have given you six hand patterns and ten beginner foot patterns to combine. For each
2 hand pattern, you go through all ten foot patterns with your dominant foot. The level of
difficulty increases as you progress through each pattern. In the video, Jared takes you
through some combinations between the hand and foot patterns, so you can see exactly
how they should be played. Although the material in this lesson is mostly used for devel-
oping your independence, you can still apply it to your everyday playing.
Once you can play these combinations accurately, go through them once again adding
the hi-hat foot as notated on the sheet music on page 25. You can further expand on
these combinations by having your weaker foot play the bass drum patterns instead,
use the hi-hat pedal to play them if you only have one bass drum pedal. Once you
have that down, go through all combinations by playing the bass drum patterns with the
weaker foot and the hi-hat foot patterns with the stronger foot. All of these different com-
binations are awesome for developing control and independence with your weaker foot.

Intermediate Hand Patterns
Much like the beginner lesson on bass drum independence, in this lesson, Jared takes
Module you through all possible combinations between six hand patterns and ten intermedi-
2 ate foot patterns, so you can see exactly how they sound and how they should be
played. The hand patterns are exactly the same as the ones used in the beginner les-
son. The difference here is in the foot patterns, which are based around 8th and 16th
notes. These patterns are challenging so make sure you start slow, get the sequence of
strokes down, and then slowly increase the tempo. It’s very important that you’ve taken
the time to go through the beginner lesson before trying these exercises.
Again, once you can play these combinations accurately, go through them once again
adding the hi-hat foot as notated on the sheet music on page 25. These six hand pat-
terns can be used in other lessons as well. You can do so by taking any beat from Bass
Drum Secrets, remove the original hand pattern and add one of these six on top of the
notated foot pattern. This is a great way of expanding the material on this training pack.

Advanced Hand Patterns
In this lesson, Jared takes you through multiple combinations between six hand patterns
Module and ten advanced foot patterns, so you can see exactly how they sound and how they
2 should be played. The hand patterns are exactly the same as the ones used in the be-
ginner and intermediate lessons. He also teaches you how to continue to work on foot
independence once you’re done with the exercises provided in this module. Make sure
you’ve been through the beginner and intermediate lessons on bass drum indepen-
dence before diving into these patterns as these are very challenging. Remember, start
slowly, learn the sequence first, and then increase the tempo gradually.

The hand and foot patterns that we’ve given to you in these lessons on bass drum in-
dependence can be mixed and matched to create new combinations for you to work on.
For instance, take the first count of hand pattern #5 and use it to replace the third count
on hand pattern #2, and take the second count of hand pattern #6 and replace the sec-
ond count of hand pattern #2 with it. Then, take this new hand pattern and go through
the beginner, intermediate, and advanced foot patterns. This is not only a cool way of
coming up with new exercises, but also of creating new drum beats. Use this concept
for creating new foot patterns as well.

Jazz Exercises
It’s essential to develop a solid understanding of jazz independence for “comping”

Module purposes. Comping is a term used in jazz music to refer to the ability of complementing
2 or accompanying other musician’s musical phrasing. The more you work on jazz inde-
pendence the easier it will be for you to react on the spot with what other musicians are
doing. In this lesson, Jared introduces you to the world of jazz bass drum independence
by showing you how to play ten bass drum patterns based in 8th note triplets. Practicing
jazz comping will also do wonders for your blues, hip-hop, reggae, and shuffle playing.

For even further work on your independence, play the hi-hat with your weaker hand and
the snare drum with your stronger hand while going through different foot patterns. This
is a great idea for strengthening your weaker hand and for developing control and inde-
pendence with it as well.

Module #3 - The Heel Toe Technique
DVD #3
The heel-toe technique has always been somewhat of a mystery to many drummers.
When taught correctly, it can be learned in a few short minutes. However, without proper
instruction, it can easily take days or even weeks of trial-and-error to get it working. This
Module
3 module simplifies the process and teaches you how to play the heel toe technique with
step-by-step examples. You will learn how to master the technique and how to apply it
within your drumming.
Lessons Include:
• Developing The Technique • Bass Drum Pedals
• Developing The Weaker Foot • Applying The Technique
• Pedal Settings
Developing The Technique

The heel-toe technique has been around for quite some time, but only recently has it
become very popular amongst the drumming community. This is a great technique for
playing fast double strokes with the feet, much like the slide technique. It is argued that
the heel toe technique is easier to control than the slide technique, since you’re only re-
quired to learn the correct foot motion instead of having to spend time building your leg
muscles. In this lesson, Jared Falk breaks down the heel-toe technique for you, show-
ing you exactly how and what to practice to develop it. He also takes the time to debunk
some of the more common myths associated with the heel-toe technique as well, like
foot size, type of footwear, and type of bass drum pedal.
As you practice this technique, strive for

having the two motions meld into one
single rocking motion with the foot. The
rocking motion is what will enable you to
play a fast double, since you’ll get two
strokes from one single motion. Don’t
slam the foot too hard onto the footboard
when playing the heel stroke; easy does
it. It may take you five minutes, or it may
take you five hours to learn how to play
this technique. Time doesn’t really mat-
ter here, you can do it. You just have to
be very patient and keep at it.

Developing The Weaker Foot

Having the ability to play the heel-toe technique with your feet will take your drum-
ming to a whole new level. Even if you don’t use a double bass pedal you still have
the hi-hat pedal and the bass drum pedal to work with, so you’re still a double pedal
drummer. Heel-toe works great on the hi-hat, enabling you to play very fast hi-hat Module
splashes. Watch this drum lesson and find out how to develop heel-toe with your
weaker foot, so you can use it on the hi-hat pedal, on your second bass drum pedal 3
or even on an auxiliary percussion pedal.
Pedal Settings
If you only have a really cheap double bass or single bass drum pedal, don’t worry
about it. The heel-toe technique can be performed on virtually any pedal there is. You
don’t need to have the most expensive pedal on the market that features eighty different
adjustments to be able to play this technique. In this lesson, Jared Falk shows exactly
what you can adjust on your pedal that will help you play the heel-toe technique with
ease.
Bass Drum Pedals

Virtually any pedal works with the heel-toe tech-
nique. The type of pedal you use depends on your
own personal preferences. In this lesson Jared
shares his thoughts on a few pedals he thinks
have the best price/quality relationship for playing
the heel-toe technique. If you’re thinking of up-
grading to a new bass drum pedal, this lesson will
be very helpful.
In the video, Jared shares three pedal possibili-

ties for you to purchase. However, as you may be
well aware of, there are a ton more out there that
could be better for you. So after you’re done with
this video, check out module 19 for pedal reviews
on the models Jared talked about in this video, as
well as some other very popular bass drum pedals.

Applying The Technique
DVD #3 | Module #3 - The Heel Toe Technique
This lesson is where the fun really begins. Here, you’re introduced to your first drum
beats and drum fills that incorporate the heel-toe technique. If you haven’t taken the
Module time to work on the previous lessons from this module, make sure you go over them
3 first. Doing so will enable you to go through these exercises a lot quicker and with
better sounding results.
Applying the heel-toe technique to the drum set is the next natural step. Each exer-
cise on this lesson works on different aspects of this technique. You have very differ-
ent note values to work with, some hand-to-feet combinations, and single stroke roll
to double stroke roll transitions. Jared also teaches you how to play a triple stroke
using heel-toe, as well as how to use the heel-toe technique on the hi-hat pedal.
Let’s start practicing the heel-toe technique by playing this beat on the drum-set.

Module #4 - Heel Toe Exercises
DVD #3
Module #3 is dedicated to teaching you how to develop the heel-toe technique accurate-
ly. Once you’ve been through its lessons and are able to play the heel-toe comfortably
with at least one foot, you can start working on the exercises Jared Falk included in this
module.
Module
4 This fourth module covers beginner, intermediate, and advanced drumming patterns
that make specific use of this unique technique. These examples will help you get
started with incorporating double strokes in beats, and will leave you well prepared for
creating your own unique heel-toe-based beats and fills in the future!
If you use a different technique from the heel-toe, like the slide technique for instance,
you can still use every exercise in this module. You just have to replace the heel-toe
double strokes with the technique you’re most comfortable with to perform bass drum
double strokes. Once you’ve mastered these exercises, go through all of them with your
weaker foot as well.

Module #5 - The Slide Technique
DVD #4
This module covers the slide technique, a popular alternative to the heel-toe technique.
The slide technique can be used in many different styles of music and is a natural way
to play quick double strokes.
Module Lessons Include:

5 • Introduction • Developing The Left Foot
• Footwear & Pedal Settings • Applying It Within A Beat
• Developing The Technique • Applying It Within A Fill
Introduction
In this lesson, Dave Atkinson introduces you to the slide technique. The slide technique
is Dave’s weapon of choice for playing fast double strokes with a single pedal. This is an
awesome technique to learn and develop, and much like the heel-toe, it will let you add
some doubles here and there without the need to use a double bass drum pedal.

Footwear & Pedal Settings
How important is the type of shoes I wear? What about playing with socks or barefoot?
I have big feet, will I be able to perform this technique properly? How do I setup the
pedals to improve my playing experience? If these are some of the questions you have
regarding this technique, then look no further. In this lesson, Dave answers all of those
questions and much more.
Developing The Technique

This technique may take a little longer to master than heel-toe, since it’s not only Module
required of you to learn the proper motions behind the technique, but to spend some
time building your leg muscles to perform it at faster tempos. In this lesson, Dave 5
breaks down the slide technique for you, showing you exactly how and what to prac-
tice to develop it. Below are five basic exercises for you to start practicing the slide
technique.

note triplet, and 32nd note foot patterns. These drum beats were designed to chal-
lenge you a bit more and to inspire new ideas in your playing.
These intermediate drum beats are loaded with very different patterns for the snare
Module drum and for the hi-hat. You can use them to spice up other drum beats in this edu-
6 cational pack, or even your own. Another cool way of coming up with interesting
hand patterns is to mix different sections from different beats and try them over a
preexisting foot pattern. The possibilities are endless.

Intermediate Fills
In this video, Dave Atkinson shows you how to play four intermediate hand to feet
combinations using the slide technique. Once you’ve been through the following
exercises, use the tips we gave you in the beginner lesson on drum fills and in the
intermediate lesson on drum beats to come up with new variations of your own while
using these intermediate exercises as a template. You could also try adding rests in
some of the fills, instead of playing all the 16th note or 16th note triplet partials. Mix-
ing different note values within the same fill is also a great way to change things up.

Advanced Beats
Here, you’ll find linear drum beats, 16th note triplet and 32nd note based patterns,
samba, shuffle and even soca (Soul-Calypso) based drum beats. These exercises
are challenging but a lot of fun to play around with. You’ll have a blast with this les-
son.
In the beginner and intermediate lessons we discussed some construction tech-

niques for building your own drum beats from preexisting ones. Here, we’ll discuss
some techniques for accelerating your learning process while taking on new drum
beats. The first priority when learning any pattern on a set of drums is to memo- Module
rize the stroke sequence. It’s important to start slowly at first so you can make sure
you’re playing the strokes in the proper sequence. You can do this in a count by
count manner, that is, only when you’ve memorized the pattern inside of a given
6
count will you move on to learn the next one. Then, you just have to work on playing
the counts one after the other. Start by playing two counts back-to-back, then three
and so on.
Once you have that down, add the metronome in to start lining everything up per-
fectly. Since we’re handling beats that incorporate double strokes with the feet, you
can focus on learning the pattern without the doubles at first – play one single stroke
instead of each set of doubles. This is a great way of focusing on the feel of the beat.
Get to know exactly how every thing sounds before you start adding the doubles
back in. This will make it easier for you to incorporate them afterwards, since your
mind will know exactly how everything must sound.

The Element Of Groove
DVD #5 | Module #7 - Double Pedal Single Strokes (Sean)
Playing a stream of alternating single strokes with the double pedal without the
involvement of any dynamics whatsoever can be a little overkill if you’re not playing
in a heavy or death metal band. However, some drummers still like/need to use the
double bass pedal for playing small bursts of single strokes or the odd run in music
with a little more groove to it. In this lesson, Sean Lang explains on how to create
groove and add dynamics to your double bass playing through groovy hand patterns
and accents on the bass drum.
This lesson is awesome even for those who don’t play heavier styles of rock music.
You see, there are a lot of fast drummers out there, but not that many who know how Module
to add dynamics and groove to their double bass playing. Learning these concepts
will give you a big advantage over them.

Developing Balance & Control
Playing a constant stream of single strokes requires a lot of control and balance.
You need to have enough control to play every note at exactly the same dynamic
level while playing different rhythms with the hands. Developing good balance while
performing those rolls is essential for keeping everything consistent. In this lesson,
Sean Lang teaches you his method for working on control and balance, while devel-
oping your weaker foot and independence at the same time.

Foot Assignment
Foot assignment is a very interesting concept for playing broken double bass drum
patterns, especially when performed with 16th notes. The concept revolves around
the idea of having the lead foot perform the 8th notes (on the “and’s” and on the
beats), while the weaker foot plays the 16th notes (the “e’s” and the “ah’s”). In this
lesson, Sean Lang introduces this concept with seven drum beats, and shows you
how you can develop it while improvising over broken double bass patterns.

Note Value Exercises
As you may be well aware of, in music, it’s very common to use different note values
in a single piece of music. Therefore, it’s important to have a solid understanding of
how to move between different note values with ease and confidence. This adds a
lot to your musical skills and will give your beat writing abilities a more diverse ap-
proach. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you seven exercises that you can use to
develop a better feel when playing different note values between two pedals, and for
getting used to flawless transitions between the note values.

The Herta Lick
A herta is a hybrid rudiment that usually combines 16th notes with 32nd notes played
as single strokes. You can also play a combination of 8th notes with 16th notes, and
even of 8th note triplets with 16th note triplets. If you play double bass you’re going
to love what this rudiment will do for your patterns. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches
you how to play seven exercises that incorporate herta’s.
If you only play a single bass drum pedal, start by performing the exercises as writ-
ten using the hi-hat pedal instead of the slave bass drum pedal. This is a great drill
for working on the coordination between the feet and to get them used to playing
Module herta’s, as well as a great way of coming up with funky patterns that encompass a
7 lot of open hi-hats. Another cool thing you can do is play all the slave drum pedal
strokes with a hand on the hi-hat or ride. This completely changes the overall feel of
the patterns and gets you working on interesting herta patterns between the hands
and foot. These are just some quick tips to get you going.

Developing The Weaker Foot
You have to develop your feet equally if you want to be a double bass drummer. This
is not only a question of speed, but of control and consistency. You won’t be able
to play consistently and in time if you don’t develop your weaker foot. As for speed,
you’re only as fast as your weaker foot. In this lesson, Dave Atkinson teaches you
some very cool ways of developing single and double strokes with your weaker. He
also shares some valuable tips that will have you playing with your weaker foot as
well as you do with your stronger one.

Double Bass Slide Triplet
The double bass slide triplet foot technique is used to play fast triple strokes by com-
bining a double pedal with the slide technique. You can still learn how to develop this
technique if you use the heel-toe technique instead; or any other technique to play
fast double strokes with one foot for that matter. In this lesson, Dave teaches you

Developing Slow Speeds
Many double bass drummers focus on playing fast. However, playing slow is a very
important ability to have since it enables you to perform double bass runs with more
precision and control when at faster tempos. Practicing at slow tempos will greatly
improve your double pedal chops at faster tempos. In this lesson, Dave Atkinson
teaches you how and why to practice double bass at slower tempos, giving you
seven exercises to work with.

Developing Speed With Singles
In the previous lesson we discussed ways of improving accuracy and control while
practicing at slower speeds. In this lesson, Dave takes a completely different route
by teaching you exercises and some concepts that are sure to shorten the time
you spend behind a drum set building speed. This lesson features a progress chart
(page 82) that you can use to keep track of your progress each time you practice.
It’s important you keep a very positive mind-set as you build your speed with a dou-
ble pedal. Always remember that just like with your hands, developing the feet takes
time. It takes hard work and perseverance to become proficient with a double pedal.
If you keep at it you WILL succeed. Use a metronome and the progress chart, and
with time and hard work you’ll become the double bass drummer you aspire to be.

How To Develop Endurance
Developing endurance is a little bit different from developing speed. With speed
building you focus more on playing quick bursts for short periods of time, while
with endurance your main focus is playing for long periods of time. In this lesson,
Dave gives you important tips on how to develop endurance and on how to use the
progress chart (page 82) to track down your progress as you work on building your
endurance.
Working on endurance is not something exclusive to single stroke rolls played with
the double pedal. You can use the concepts discussed by Dave in this lesson, as
well as the progress chart for developing your heel-toe/slide double stroke rolls, or
any other exercises or techniques featured in this educational system.

The Swivel Technique

The swivel technique is a great tool that can be used to play fast single strokes with
either a double or single bass drum pedal, or as a tool to help you play single stroke
rolls with the feet for longer periods of time. With the swivel technique, the feet pivot
on the pedals with the toes while the heels move from side to side. This will create a
stroke each time you swivel your foot. In this lesson, Dave shows you how this tech-
nique works and how you can use it to increase your endurance level.
If your still struggling with this technique make sure to check out module 18 where
Module
8
Dave performs this technique in slow motion so you can see exactly how his legs
and feet behave.
Practicing Along To Music

There are a lot of drummers that don’t like to practice with a metronome. Don’t worry
if you’re one of them. You can use loops or music (with or without drums) instead of
a metronome. Since 99% of today’s music is recorded to a click track, you’ll have fun
tracks with no tempo fluctuations to practice along to. This is a great way of practicing
your double bass runs or just to experiment with different ideas on the double bass. In
this lesson, Dave gives you some tips on how to practice double bass with play alongs
or songs. He then plays along to YUCA’s song “Tomorrow” from their self-titled debut
album, showing you how you can use a song with no double bass to practice double
bass.
For more playalongs like this, make sure you check out modules 15, 16 and 17. First
watch the instructor play along to the song then use the provided audio CD’s to play
along yourself.

Hand & Foot Independence
Playing a constant stream of single strokes with the feet while keeping the same
style of rock based hand patterns above it can become monotonous with time. Gain-
ing a good level of independence while performing rolls with the feet is a great way
of loosening up your hands for coming up with interesting drum beats and fills. In
this lesson, Dave teaches you a couple of exercises that incorporate drum rudiments
that will get you working on your hand independence while performing a constant roll
with the feet.
The rudiments featured in this lesson are the single stroke roll, the single paradiddle,
the double stroke roll, the herta, the triple stroke roll, the double paradiddle, and the
flam accent. Once you’ve mastered the exercises as written, try incorporating other
rudiments with the hands. Playing rudiments on top of an 8th note triplet or 16th note Module
single stroke roll with the feet is not only a great way of working on independence
but on hand technique as well. This way, you can practice drum rudiments and 8
double bass drumming at the same time.

some double bass flair. You can
start by learning these example
patterns, then when you feel
comfortable with the concepts,
you can start creating your own
original patterns to spice things
up and boost your creativity on
the drums.
Broken patterns are harder to

play because you’ll need to stop
Module and start short bursts of single
10 strokes rolls. This may cause
some consistency and timing
issues. To work around that,
make sure you start practicing
these exercises at slower tem-
pos. Make sure everything lines
up perfectly and that you’re not
playing flammed strokes. This is
essential for making these beats
sound awesome at faster tem-
pos.
If you only play a single bass pedal, you’re
still a double pedal drummer because of the
hi-hat pedal. These grooves are a great op-
portunity to give more use to that pedal and
Lessons Include: add very cool little nuances to your double

DVD #6 | Module #11 - Double Bass Exercises
Most of what is played with the double bass on modern music is based on single
stroke rolls. It’s important you learn how to develop independence between basic
hand patterns and the feet, and very solid and consistent single stroke rolls from the
get go. We take the first steps into doing so with the ten beginner drum beats written
by Dave Atkinson for this lesson

Beginner Fills
Adding the bass drum to drum fills is a great way for spicing up your playing. In this
lesson, Dave Atkinson takes you through ten drum fills that incorporate a lot of the
basic techniques used for adding the bass drum into drum fills, like hand to feet com-
binations, playing three-note 16th note triplets just before a snare shot, and adding
cool little nuances with cymbals while playing double bass runs.
You can still gain a lot from these drum fills if you’re a more experienced drummer.
Use them as inspiration for coming up with new drum fills of your own, or play them
at higher speeds for even more of a challenge. Patterns #6 and #7 are great for
practicing the double bass slide triplet technique.

Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats
DVD #7
Welcome to the “Metal & Blast Beats” portion of the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0. This
module is totally dedicated to the world of blast beats, and includes tips on develop-
ing the weaker foot and adding groove to blast beats. If you’re not into this style of
music or drumming, you might feel discouraged to learn the content in these les-
sons. However, the exercises here are great for developing speed, coordination,
balance, and single stroke rolls with both hands and feet. These are all things that
you as a drummer have to strive for, no matter the styles of music you enjoy or the
number of pedals you like to use. Give this module a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Introduction
In this video, Sean introduces some of the subjects covered in this module and talks
about how they can benefit you even if your not a metal drummer.
Module
12
One Foot vs. Two Feet

A blast beat is basically a single stroke roll broken up between the snare drum and the
bass drum, with the hi-hat/ride hand playing unison strokes with the bass drum. The
bass drum figures are usually counted as 8th or as 16th notes, while the hands are
counted as 16th or 32nd notes. Since the bass drum notes are slower than the ones on
the hands, you can use a single foot to play them. However, some drummers tend to
use two feet instead. In this lesson, Sean Lang addresses this subject by explaining the
pros and cons of using one foot verses two feet while performing blast beats.

Skank Blast
DVD #7 | Module #12 - Metal & Blast Beats
Skank beats are slower versions of traditional blast beats. They were being played
in the United States and in Europe just before blast beats were first invented. You
can think of skank beats as punk beats or as fast and heavy polkas as well. In this
lesson, Sean Lang takes you through some of the more traditional ways of playing
skank beats with 8th notes, 16th notes and 8th note triplets.

Hammer Blast
Hammer blasts were actually invented by drummers who, being new to the world of
blast beats, couldn’t achieve the speeds and coordination required to play traditional
blast beats. If you’re a beginner, taking on this lesson is a great way of learning your
first blast beats, or to add a very different feel to your blast beats if you’re a more
experienced drummer. In the video, Sean Lang teaches four of the most common
hammer blasts found in heavy metal music, as well as a couple of cool variations
that show you how to add groove to your hammer blasts.
Most exercises in this lesson have the stronger foot playing 8th notes. Once you’ve
mastered them, use the exercises here to work on your weaker foot. Start by playing
the patterns with your weaker foot. This will strengthen that foot greatly and will have
you working on coordinating the left and right limbs of your body. Finally, break the
foot pattern between your feet for practicing some double bass hammer blasts while
leading with your stronger foot as well as your weaker foot.

Bomb Blast
The Bomb blast is another very cool variation on the traditional form of blasting. You
can think of it as an inverted traditional blast beat played with a double pedal. The
cymbal pattern is played on the “e’s” and the “ah’s” instead of on the beat and on the
“and’s”. In this lesson, Sean Lang shows you how to play the traditional bomb blast
drum beat and a couple of variations that include different cymbal and snare drum
patterns.

Gravity Blast
The gravity blast was the last form of blast beat to be created in the world of extreme
metal drumming. This blast beat includes the use of a hand technique known as the
one handed roll (also known as the freehand technique), which was first introduced
to the drumming community by Kenwood Dennard, and made popular by Johnny
Rabb. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you how to perform the one handed roll
and how to use it within blast beats.
The one handed roll is a technique that lets you play a very fast single stroke roll
with only one hand. This is achieved by using the rim of the snare as a pivoting point
for pushing and pulling the stick against it with an up and down motion of the arm.
The down stroke of the freehand technique is notated on the middle line of the sheet
music. The up stroke is notated on the space just above that line. If you are strug-
gling with the one handed roll, check out the slow motion footage of Jared Falk and
Sean Lang executing it in module #18

Traditional Blast
The traditional blast was the first type of blast beat to be created. It originated in the
European punk and hard-core movements as a way to create a wall of noise with no
rhythmic value whatsoever. Death metal bands from the ’90s were the ones respon-
sible for shaping it to its current form by giving it rhythmic value. A blast beat is basi-
cally a single stroke roll broken up between the snare drum and the bass drum, with
the hi-hat/ride hand playing unison strokes with the bass drum. In this lesson, Sean
Lang teaches you how to play the traditional blast and how to use it with music.
Beat #1 is the traditional blast while beat #2 is a variation on the traditional blast.
Once you’ve mastered these two exercises, take the hi-hat patterns from the other
blast beat lessons on this module and use them here instead. This is a great way for
coming up with new traditional blast variations. Another cool option is to play the 8th
note foot pattern with a double pedal instead. This will be essential once you get to
extremely high speeds. The exercises here are also great options for improving your
weaker foot independence, stamina, power and control.

Hybrid Hammer Blast
Hybrid hammer blasts are a very visual and economic way of playing hammer blasts.
This type of blast beat was actually invented by Sean Lang and uses the Swiss army
triplet the flam tap drum rudiments. In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches you how to
play hybrid hammer blasts beats and how to combine them to create odd-time signa-
ture blast beats.
With these blast beats you won’t overwork any hand in particular, because you’ll be
spreading the amount of strokes between the two of them. This way, it will be easier
for you to perform drum fills around the drums after blasting throughout songs. This
is also a great way for beginner or slower drummers to get into blasting. Remember
that the flam tap hammer blast (beat #1) and the Swiss army triplet hammer blast
(beat #2) should be played without the flams. Practice these exercises slowly at first
making sure you play unison strokes – known as flat flams or double stops – instead
of flams, before you start increasing the tempo on your metronome.

Developing Speed With One Foot

In this lesson, Sean Lang teaches two cool drills that are sure to be useful for any drum-
mer. These exercises can be used for developing your heel down playing or your heel
up playing. Thus, they are useful for drummers that don’t even play heavy metal music
or rock. They were designed for developing the main foot, but can be used for enhanc-
ing power, speed, and control with the weaker foot as well.
Creating Groove Within Blasts

Blast beats and groove are words that do not match that well. When we think of groove
we think of the great drummers of James Brown, with all those slick and funky drum
beats, or the great gospel drummers of today. However, it’s possible to add the element
of groove to whatever you play, including blast beats. In this lesson, Sean discusses
some ways of adding groove to blast beats, and demos them so you can see exactly
how these techniques can really spice up your speed metal beats.

Seven Stroke Rolls
The 7 stroke roll combines three double strokes with one single stroke. In this les-
son, Jared Falk teaches you how to practice the 7 stroke roll by itself with the feet
and how to apply it to 16th note, 16th note triplets and 32nd note drum beats. You
can also break the 7 stroke rolls between the bass drum and the hi-hat pedal as well,
creating totally different sounding drum beats in the process.

Swiss Army Triplets
In this lesson, Jared Falk teaches you how to perform the Swiss army triplet with the
feet and how to use it for playing drum beats and drum solos. This rudiment is one of
the patterns from the flam family of drum rudiments, and is comprised of two offset
double strokes. It’s this offset that gives birth to the flammed strokes. Give this les-

If you’re having any issues in playing this rudiment with the feet, watch the slow

rudiment, use whatever technique you feel most comfortable with.

Module #14 - Hand To Feet Combinations
DVD #7
This module is one of the coolest modules within the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0 pack.
Here, Jared, Dave and Sean all give their take on unique hand to feet combinations.
By the end of this module you will be able to create your own hand to feet combina-
tions for use within beats, fills, and creative drum solos! This module will open new
doors for your drumming and expand your creativity when you sit down at the kit.
Jared Falk’s Hand To Feet Combinations

Hand to feet combinations are basically linear patterns used as drum fills. Linear pat-
terns are played without overlapping strokes, so you don’t play unison figures during the
patterns. In this lesson, Jared Falk teaches you his method for coming up with hand to
feet combinations, making it easy to start creating your own patterns right away.
Once you’ve written a pattern, practice

it between the snare and the bass drum
as Jared does in the video. The biggest
problem you’ll find when playing these
patterns is playing the notes on time.
The solution for this issue is to start
practicing them very slowly. Increase
the tempo on your metronome once you
have the pattern down and eventually
you’ll want to start moving your hands
around the various drums and cymbals Module
instead of keeping them on the snare
drum all the time. 14
There are other cool ways for you to
mix things up a bit. You can alter the
dynamics of some of the strokes, add
rests instead of playing a continuous
stream of notes, use the hi-hat pedal
instead of the slave bass drum pedal
for playing double pedal hand to feet
combos, and even use these patterns
for coming up with linear drum beats by
moving one hand to the hi-hat/ride while
keeping the other one on the snare.

DVD #7 | Module #14 - Hand To Feet Combinations
In this lesson, Dave Atkinson teaches ten of his favorite hand to feet combinations,

to move your hands feet to.
You’ll notice here that Dave uses some of the tips we gave you on “Jared’s Hand To
Feet Combos” lesson for building his exercises. Besides using this lesson to learn
more patterns, use it as a study companion for the tips we gave you on Jared’s les-

Sean’s Hand To Feet Combinations
In the last lesson of this module, we’ll be taking a look at Sean’s hand to feet com-

lets, and 32nd notes. These patterns are great for heavier styles of music.
You’ll notice that throughout the exercises, Sean adds small things that make a big
difference in the overall feel and sound of these patterns. He uses rudiments like the
single paradiddle-diddle, the herta, and the flam for sticking pattern diversity and for
getting different textures out of his drum set. He uses dynamics on the snare drum,
incorporates cymbals, and mixes the note values as well. These are all great ways
for spicing up your hand to feet combos.

Double Pedal Single Strokes
Single stroke rolls are the most common type of patterns played between the feet. Thus,
it’s very important you have a solid understanding on how to play them accurately.
Feathering The Bass

Drum
Feathering the bass drum is

the name given to the bass
drum foot technique used for
playing very soft strokes on the
bass drum. This is most com-
monly used in the world of jazz
music where the bass drum
is more felt than heard. The
best way to achieve this level
of dynamics is by playing the
heel-down technique.
Heel-Toe Technique
The heel-toe technique is used

to play fast double strokes with
what looks to be a single rock-

Heel-Toe Triple Stroke
The heel-toe technique can be used to play triple strokes. Here, this technique is broken
down for you with slow motion video.
Heel-Toe Hi-Hat
Splash
The heel-toe technique

is mostly used on the
bass drum but it can
be applied to which-
ever pedal you’d like.
When used with the
hi-hat pedal, the heel
stroke generates a hi-
hat splash and the toe
stroke closes the hi-hat,
which is also known as
hi-hat “chick”.
Heel-Toe Over Multiple Pedals
You can use this technique to play each stroke of the double on different pedals. Here,
the heel-toe is played between the hi-hat pedal and the slave bass drum pedal.
Module
Double Stroke Herta’s
18
A “herta” is a hybrid rudiment that combines 16th notes with 32nd notes played as single
strokes. You can change the sticking of this pattern and use double strokes to play the
32nd notes instead. This is something Jared likes to use heel-toe for.

Swiss Army Triplets
The Swiss army triplet is one of

One Handed Roll
The one handed roll,

also known as freehand
technique is a great tech-

fast single stroke roll with
only one hand. This tech-
nique uses the rim of the
snare as a pivoting point
for pushing and pulling
the stick against it with
an up and down motion
of the arm.
Break Beat
Break beats are fast and

very syncopated drum
beats that can be heard
in music genres like
jungle and drum & bass.
Double Pedal
Single Strokes
Single stroke rolls are the most common type of patterns played between the feet. It’s
very important you have a solid understanding on how to play them accurately. When
you get to higher speeds, you’ll naturally transition from using full leg motions to using
the flat foot technique.
Module Single Stroke Four

18 The single stroke four is one of the patterns from the single stroke family of drum rudi-
ments. It’s basically played as a 16th note triplet four-note single stroke roll. This rudi-

The double pedal swivel triplet technique is used to play fast triple strokes by combining

Gravity Blast
The gravity blast revolves around a great technique for playing a very fast single stroke

cises. Work through them without stopping, playing sixteen repetitions per exercise.
This is a great system for equalizing your feet, so use it even if you only have a
single bass drum pedal.
Sean plays the entire boot camp at 85 BPM, which takes him around fifteen minutes
to complete. If you’re only able to play the fastest exercise at 43 BPM you’ll take
twice as long to go through it. Make sure you have a good idea of how much time of
your practice session this will eat up. This is important because you may not have
the time needed to go through the entire boot camp without stopping. For the boot
camp to work properly, you’ll want to make sure you go through all exercises without
stopping. So plan your practice sessions ahead of time, and if you have to, decrease
the number of repetitions per exercise so that you’re able to play every pattern ev-
eryday.
The hands play a standard 8th note rock hand pattern on the hi-hat and on the snare
drum throughout the whole boot camp. This is nothing fancy and serves the purpose
Module of having your hands do something simple while you go through different hand pat-
20 terns. Once you’re able to play these exercises leading with your stronger hand on
the hi-hat, try going through them while leading with your weaker hand. You can also
switch hands while you’re going through the exercises. This will do wonders for your
weaker hand.

Flat Foot Technique
The flat foot technique is a hybrid between heel up and heel down techniques. It’s espe-
cially useful for playing fast strokes with your feet. In this lesson, Sean Lang goes over
the flat foot technique with an in-depth analysis of its mechanics, and teaches you some
cool ways of practicing it without having to be behind a drum set.
This technique will add a lot to your drumming, whether you play single or double bass
drum pedal. The double pedal boot camp featured in this module is great for you to
practice transitions from normal strokes played at slower speeds, to the flat foot tech-
nique when you get to higher tempos.
Double Strokes With One Foot
Throughout the Bass Drum Secrets modules you’ve

been taught various ways of playing fast double
strokes with your feet. Jared uses the heel-toe tech-
nique, Dave uses the slide technique, but what about
Sean? In this lesson, Sean Lang shows you how he
combines the slide technique with the swivel tech-
nique to play fast double strokes with only one foot.
This lesson has a lot of information regarding the
way you approach foot technique.
Drum Solo #1
In this video, Dave Atkinson plays a drum solo based around some very cool rhythmic
ideas performed on the toms. This solo gains intensity by adding more and more bass
drum. This drum solo shows exactly how using the double bass can add a lot to the

overall feel of a drum solo, and really help increase the energy and interest of what
you’re creating. There is a lot of content here to inspire and entertain. You can take
some of Dave’s ideas and apply them to your own solos, or mix and match the patterns
he plays here to come up with new drum fills and drum beats.

Drum Solo #2
The drum solo played by Dave Atkinson here is based around some very cool rhyth-
mic ideas performed on the toms. This solo is different from the previous one in that
Dave focus on creating groove based ideas around the drum set, rather than play-
ing rhythmic patterns. You’ll notice that Dave plays drum beats that sound very good
in the context of the drum solo, and uses some of the drum fills he teaches in this
product to spice up his performance. As you can see, the beats and fills you’ll learn
how to play in the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0 can and should be applied to drum solos.
Everything you know how to play on the drum set is a valid option. Always keep that
in mind when you’re coming up with your own drum solos.
Drum Solo #3
In this video, Sean Lang plays a drum solo which

features some very cool ideas played between
the snare drum and the bass drum. These pat-
terns give his solo a somewhat similar feel to
what you hear in American military marches. His
bass drum phrasing is also very original, in that
he uses it more as a main voice instead of just
using it to play hand to feet combinations and
single stroke rolls. Sean built quite an interesting
solo here. His bass drum motifs should be further
studied, so you can see how to change things
around with the bass drum and some new rhyth-
mic ideas.
Drum Solo #4
Heavy and speed metal drummers are usually perceived as one-dimensional. They
are considered as speed freaks, filled with chops and power but zero dynamics and Module
groove. This drum solo comes to show how that can be so far from the truth, with
some very cool rhythmic ideas and dynamic contours. From hi-hat splashing to dif-
20
ferent rhythmic ideas on the bass drum, to some cool snare drum licks, this drum
solo really tells a story worth watching and most important of all, it’s worth hearing.

Drum Solo #5
In this drum solo, Jared Falk introduces a very cool concept used in a lot of modern
drum soloing – ostinatos. An ostinato is a repeated rhythmic idea, which in this case is
represented by alternating 5 stroke rolls played between the feet throughout the solo.
Jared than improvises a lot of groove based ideas with the hands over the ostinato.
Watch this drum solo so you can see how playing rudiments with the feet can be some-
thing really effective.
Drum Solo #6
You can think of this drum solo as an evo-

lution of the previous one. Jared built this
solo around a foot ostinato once again.
This time around, he went with a 6 stroke
roll based ostinato played with the heel-
toe technique and broken up between
the hi-hat and the bass drum. His hands
play tribal sounding patterns that are sure
to keep your creative fluids going. Give
this drum solo a try – you won’t be disap-
pointed.
Separating the feet between different

sound sources is a great way for spicing
up your foot ostinato based drum solos.
Instead of keeping your feet on the same
pedals throughout the entire solo, move
them to other pedals from time to time
while keeping the same rhythmic idea go-
ing. The hand patterns played here sound
very tribal because of the triplet based ideas Jared plays around the drum set, and
because of the timbale-like snare sound he gets from turning the snare wires off.
Drum Solo #7
Module
20 This last drum solo is based around another foot ostinato. This time around, Jared plays
a 7 stroke roll throughout the entire solo with the heel-toe technique. His hands play
very interesting ideas as well. He starts with some cymbals strokes and moves to tom-
tom based patterns, before going into a groove based section. Here, you’re caught off
guard with a very cool transition that sees a 4/4 groove morph into a 7/8 – very cool.
This is a very diverse and original drum solo that is sure to inspire you. Check it out!

Drum Battle #1
In this video, Jared, Sean, and Dave take part in a very cool drum battle. A drum
battle is nothing more than a bunch of drummers having fun while trading solos
between them. The solos in this battle are played on very small drum kits comprised
of snare drum, bass drum, and hi-hat. You’ll find great ideas here that you can steal
and incorporate into your drumming.
Drum Battle #2
This next drum battle has a lot of double bass drumming going on. You’ll find great ideas
here that you can steal and incorporate into your drum solos, drum beats and drum fills.
The solos in this battle are played on very small drum kits comprised of snare drum,
bass drum, and hi-hat. This is a great way of making any drummer work on expanding
their rhythmic vocabulary, due to the reduced number of instruments. Have fun with this
very cool battle.
Drum Battle #3
The last drum battle on the Bass Drum Secrets 2.0 starts out with a very cool break
beat. It doesn’t take long for the double bass galore to take over. Sean kicks this
video into full gear with very fast and precise double bass runs. The heel-toe is felt
heavily in this solo, especially due to the high level of speed Jared is able to inject
to the battle with it. Dave takes care of business with some very punk based snare
drum work and fat broken bass drum runs.

Gear Talk
In this video, Sean Lang talks about the gear he used for the recording of the Bass
Drum Secrets 2.0. He discusses some of the aspects he likes the most about it and why
he chose to use it in the first place. He also gives some cool gear tips to help you out
when choosing your own.
Triggers
Triggers are primarily used to monitor the bass

drum on heavy metal music. This is especially
relevant when you’re playing at really fast tem-
pos. The bass drum sound at those types of
speed gets quieter since you have to play very
close to the drumhead. By triggering the bass
drum you allow the strokes to cut through the
mix. In this video, Sean clears the air about
some of the most common misconceptions
regarding triggers, and shows you the sound dif-
ferences between triggered and acoustic sound-
ing bass drum strokes.
Triggers do not make you go any faster on the

drums; the only thing that can really make you
do that is a lot of practice. Triggers have be-
come a staple of heavy metal music by giving
the bass drum a very recognizable punchy and
“clicky” sound. These pieces of hardware can be
used for a lot of other things and can be used
on different drums. You can add sound effects to
your drums, trigger lights, sample, you name it.
Triggers are great tools for adding different nu-
ances and layers to your music, and to your drumming.
