Soilwork’s DIRK VERBEUREN has issued the following on his official blog:
What’s up fellow blasters and shredders?! Buried somewhere deep within my hectic schedule, I finally found some scraps of free time. In the resulting new instructional video series, I’ll be focusing on double kick drumming.
Many of you have emailed me asking “How can I get faster feet?” or “How can I build my stamina when playing double kick?” In this and the following videos, I’m going to share what I’ve learned over the years in the hopes of answering some of those questions and maybe even making you happier drummers.
First up: a basic single stroke exercise which should get you started regardless of your level. I’m demonstrating a gradual increase in speed, but remember to begin at a tempo that’s realistic for you. And don’t forget the keys to success: Practice, Patience and Perseverance!
Feel free to email your requests and questions to info[at]dirkverbeuren[dot]com.
Equipped with a personalized electronic kit and stellar Toontrack software and sounds, Die Crawling has been Verbeuren‘s lair of choice when laying down drum tracks for bands such as Naglfar, Bent Sea, Powermad, SCD, Anatomy of I and Colosso, as well as his smash hit MIDI pack series for Toontrack, the Library of the Extreme.
