Description
Coordination, independence, speed: these are the best skills a drummer must have. However, a consistent search to push past one's limits, defying BPMs, inevitably meets such a device as the double bass pedal.
This metal music trademark – though popular in other genres, too – had such a great diffusion in the study of drums that it has become a fundamental technique for the balanced development of the four limbs and the achievement of extremely high performance levels. This book finally reveals all its secrets.
It includes:
-
the main techniques for proper double stroke playing
-
538 exercises of progressive difficulty, in a wide variety of metres and designed to combine the double bass pedal skill building with the accompaniment performed by the upper limbs
-
the ten commandments: rhythmic lines inspired by some of the most famous double bass pedal drummers of the current metal worldwide scene
-
the patriarchs of the double bass drum: the forerunners of technique.
Aimed at students and teachers, as well as professionals wishing to maintain and improve their standards, The bible of the double bass pedal is the indispensable guide for gaining the technical proficiency needed to confidently reach the peak of virtuosity.
