This isn't to say I endorse or advocate destroying your kick drum or anything to that effect.
I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by stomping with your heal. Could you explain this technique a little more? Is it used playing heel up or down?

I believe he means that with your heel down you can only move your foot, and only over a small distance. With your heel up you can move your entire leg over a much larger distance so you get more power when you push down on the pedal.
