Hi YouTube !

I wanted to do an updated version of my "220 to 270 BPM Double Bass Drumming" video, which was my very beginning of heel-toe and sound recording. It sounded sloppy, my technique was bad, that's why this new video is here !

Now I am equipped with better quality mics and I know a bit more how to mix. So the sound will be better than the video which was released 4 years ago.

I'm still using heel-toe technique, which means I play two strokes with the right foot, then two strokes with the left foot. That's why my legs are moving with the same speed but not with the same move, it just doubles the strike within each leg.

My kicks are, as you hear, triggered. I have the E-Kits triggers from Axis Percussion, and I taped the hammer's spring so there are less triggering issues.

As you will hear, my consistency is lacking precision starting at 270bpm. I'm working on it. If you have some advice please give it to me !

I'm trying to pass the gap of the 300bpm but it is really sloppy.. Next time !


00:14 - 230 BPM
01:35 - 240 BPM
03:08 - 250 BPM
04:38 - 260 BPM
06:08 - 270 BPM
07:21 - 280 BPM
08:23 - 290 BPM


If you have some constructive criticism, tell me everything you want, I would be glad to discuss with all of you.


See you soon !
