Hi all

I just started learning the heel/toe technique. Thanks to DrummerMom - great site! you might check/link this movie too, it's a very good tutorial.

I have a question though. On every sample movie those guys play with their socks... I can pull some out that way too, but from the moment I have my shoes on, my feet get *way* too big and I can't pull none anymore... Help?

(again) i think it just the way you prefer it. Shoes of/on, special shoes etc. If you feel you preform better with shoes than drum with shoes.

Being able to do this technique with shoes on will become easier over time. Work on it with your shoes off for about a month. This way you should really have it down, then try it with shoes on.

the guy in the video taught me something that i didn't even know about. thanks to whoever posted that video!

im starting to get the right foot down, but i still can't get the left foot going that good with the doubles. i just gotta practise a lot.

Derek roddy drum video, explains how to work on that.

see a short clip

Uh, im new here and im new to drumming... Could someone post those sites and videos again that would help? None seem to be working...

Wow this video was very helpful! Im going to practice this to no end

I'd say so too, i finally had time to watch it. Ive never seen that used before. I wish i had my drums with me right now to try it.
