but the left hand also overlaps with

the timing of the right hand.
You can try your right and left hands before putting your right foot in.

◆ How to step on the right foot (bass drum)

Watch the Video The instructor is Mr. Peter Erskine who is active in "Weather Report".

"Heel Down" to attach the heel to the pedal and

"Heel Up" to raise the heel.

It is better to put it on the pedal to stabilize your foot, and weak beats are difficult unless it is here.

On the other hand, for strong beats, it is better to raise the heel,

and it is easier to control when raising the heel even when stepping on quickly .

When you don't step on, put your heel on the pedal

It is better to step on both in combination. ]

I am talking about that.

 

Let's start with "Heel Down",

where the heel is attached to the pedal.

It is okay to work on "Heel Up" after strengthening your legs.

​Practice 3

Right hand-Hi Hat, right foot-Bass Drum
Left hand-Snare Drum

Bass drum is stepped on during triplet.

The syncopation phrase is a song by 6/8.

It is a phrase that is often seen.

It is used partially in the song like the 20th measure.
This is because the right foot alternates between the right hand and the right hand, and it seems that the right hand and the right foot alternate.

In order to master this, You got a sense in the [B] part,
Let's be able to process in the song in the [A] part.

The right hand keeps moving at the same speed

all the time.

The point is to focus your attention on your right hand so that you do not get caught in your right foot.

​Practice 5

At the end, there is no drum sound and

no clicks. But of course, there are no clicks

in the actual performance. Listen to the sounds of the people you play with

To play.

Focus on the piano steps and listen to the bass.

The melody only needs to be a confirmation of the progress and will come into the ears casually.

Practice 5

The most important training in performance is

to "listen to the surrounding sounds and perform."

It is the word of many great players that playing is listening.

 

Most of the sounds You make are less than 20%

80% and 90% are good performances and players that they are listening to the sound of the other party.

 

At first it's a pity, so when you do Practice 5

It's more difficult than playing with people because You can't see actually playing.

 

But that's why it's training.

 

Please challenge and enjoy again and again.
