For all those that want to improve their bass drum speed (and let’s face it, who doesn’t) here’s a very simple exercise by Mike Johnston to help speed things up. Remember to start slow and only increase your speed as you become more comfortable. Best of luck!

Hey man thanks for posting. Will definitely give this a go and if I can get it half as fast as Mike, that thing is going to sound wicked!

This is a good excersize to work on thanks. I can use all the little games , ideas to practice while learning to play. I’m an older student, (much to late pretty much) but love it and will continue to learn. I can’t take lessons at this time in my life. Like many in the states been working over a year part time due to job loss in Sept 2008.
I rely on friends and tips I watch online to learn for now.

Socc, I’m sorry about that. It appears the owner of the video has recently taken it down from Youtube. My apologies…
