Bassists do it deeper.

It's no laughing matter. Just like the Washboard subforum.

Ohhh didn't notice that.

Pfft, April Fools Day is overrated.

Somebody didn't get any fooling in. Me either. Woke up after noon anyway.

By the way, Jojo says he doesn't use heel-toe as such. Seems to be a sort of variation on the theme. Or he's not even sure himself of how his foot goes. :p

Easter is overrated! Half the people (mostly 13-15) dont know what the hell its for.

Toe-heel-repeat. But the motion of his foot is the same basic rocking motion as heel-toe.

To he's got it backwards? So to speak anyway.

Yeah.

[QUOTE=crazyguy832]Yeah.[/QUOTE]

I see. So basically, you can, in theory, accomplish Jojo speeds with "regular" heel-toe?

He's still doing heel-toe.

He basically just starts on toe instead of heel.

Watch his foot. It's still the heel-toe motion. He just starts it differently.

I'm learning me some heel toe! On both feet. I presume it's been done, but having two feet capable of excecuting heel toe at blistering speeds could be useful. Then again, maybe not, but it's nice to be able to do it.

Actually, yeah, it's been done. Check Darkslide's vids in my heel-toe lessons.

I know he's put up recordings of him doing 16ths at 300 with it on two feet.

I've tried it, but it's not that easy to keep in good time, so bleh.

As I am
Strange Deja Vu

Anyone else notice the new area on the site, washboard and polka. Whats up with that.

Who drums for Opeth?

Martin Lopez drums for Opeth, although they have a different guy with them at the moment for the tour.

As for Dream Theater songs, some of my favourites are:
Home
The Glass Prison
A Change of Seasons
Pull Me Under

There's so many more that I love, but I'm lazy.
