Please check my first bass drum video for a more detailed explaination of the technique. I was intrigued as to what my technique looked like from the side in my quest to perfect it further. Most Bass Drum videos Ive seen are shot from this angle and I wanted to see if I had enough relaxation. The pedal itself (and kit) is the practise kit at work so sadly it takes a bashing from about 5 drummers a day and is not the greatest. Helps me to practise on kits like this though as all these techniques become a lot easier once I get to play my nice Yamaha/Zildjian. A bad workman blames his tools as they say!
