Re: Any tips on how to do triplet and 16th note Bass drum beats?


I stand corrected; it can be done with our pedals, it's just not as good as with a full length pedal.

I attempted it again last night, and by pushing my rather large foot as high as it will go I did managed to use the toe/heel/toe method. It does work, and my lower leg doesn't get as fatigued with the triplets. But it's awkward so I will give it some practice time to get it right.

The rest/beat/beat though worked better with toe/heel than with doing both beats with the ball fo the foot. It was more consistent, cleaner and quicker.
