I can play using heel-toe quite easily, even though I wear size 12 shoes. R.E. slide technique, this may seem like a stupid question, but do any of you have any tips on minimising friction? I know my technique is fairly accurate, but I still find the frictional effects of slide tech. distracting. Could even be something as simple as what, if any, types of footwear make a difference, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance

i put a little bounce into it, but i find it depends alot on the pedal. i cant do it on a standard eliminator that well for example.

I like to experiment with different techiniques to help me get better at everyone. Doing triplets with just one foot isn't than hard if you have worked your ankles up, with both feet, so then you can just tap it and follow through. You can, also try it with the slide technique but finish the double off with another hit to get your triplet.

It's a good idea to practice with both single and double pedals because, you get and entirely different sound. I mean, if you kick the bass 3 times, it sounds different from using the double pedal RLR. etc.

One of the hardest thing is to be able to do that technique on both feet [B]well[/B], like Lang. Amazing.

I use the slide technique only because that is what I naturally started using. Before I even knew what the two techniques were I was using the slide technique. So in my opinion I would use whatever feels more comfortable.

hmm, thanks for the vid, it seems like heeltoe backwards. maybe I do heel to wrong, cause I kind of slide my foot up to do doubles, if I slid back down, seems like I could go forever, that seems worth practicing, thanks :thumb:
