3 Bass Drum Exercises for Faster Foot Speed

Lesson

Bass drum speed is something we all want. But we don’t talk about it much. Everyone talks about hand speed, rudiments, leading with the left hand and the right hand. But what do we do to improve our speed and control with our bass drum? That is what this YouTube lesson is all about – foot speed. 

These three exercises have helped improve my bass drum speed over the years. I picked them up from several different educators and they all work the foot in slightly different ways. Download the sheet music below so you can practice these exercises and gain control and speed over that bass drum foot!
