Double Bass Speed and Control Exercise By Nick Hemingway This is the bass drum exercise that I wrote for myself to use as a warm up, I find it really helps me think with my feet. Start really slow, and once you have got it down, play at a comfortable speed as often as you can manage, playing this ten times at a speed you are comfortable with, will do more for your speed and control than playing it twice super fast… ¦ R L R L ¦ R L R L ¦ L R L R ¦ L R L R ¦¦ ¦ L L R R ¦ L L R R ¦ R R L L ¦ R R L L ¦¦ ¦ R R R L ¦ R R R L ¦ L L L R ¦ L L L R ¦¦ ¦ R R R R ¦ L L L L ¦ R R R R ¦ L L L L ¦¦ ¦ R r R r ¦ L l L l ¦ R L R R ¦ L R L L ¦¦ ¦ R R L R ¦ L L R L ¦ RLRLRLRL¦ LRLRLRLR¦¦ As with most double bass exercises this exercise also works well as a snare warm up... ©2003 Nick Hemingway
