addyjoe Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I mean the pedal itself, feels too low to get the right movement, but then the beater gets too far back from the drum when I adjust it. And I don't get enough time to play around with it to sort it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakka Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Guys, Look at this... This is the KOC performance on the recent Abbey Road Muse episode. I have it on sky HD on a 43 inch plasma where I can pause and freeze pretty much the dog knackers so you can take it that I have confidence in confirming without doubt this...... 1) There is no Double Bass 2) Doms right leg continues to do the same movement as in the Reading vids thoughout the song 2.5) Dom ties his laces in a tradition English single bow... he he 3)...and this may be of interest to Adam...during the heel toe section ie the first part of the song with the "Galloping" bass line he appears to play a double hit and then a SINGLE hit on the bass ie a duh duh.....duh.......duh duh.....duh.....and not just doubles as per your tab (there is no bass hit on the snare hit) I hate to contradict you mate as you are a true Dom ambassador but honestly that is what he appears to play. I have even learnt to heel toe it and it does sound right. The clip is only short but you can deff see his toe come down to play the note with the heel up and then his heel stays up whilst he comes down again to play the next hit. Pop round me house anytime and have a ganders.. you can even have a bash on me rubber kit Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stakka Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Have just found this as well... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2013197838 Not had time to go through it with much scrutiny but plently of Dom leg action on KOC. Enjoy..and revert back with comments and observations...on your marks....get set ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addyjoe Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 3)...and this may be of interest to Adam...during the heel toe section ie the first part of the song with the "Galloping" bass line he appears to play a double hit and then a SINGLE hit on the bass ie a duh duh.....duh.......duh duh.....duh.....and not just doubles as per your tab (there is no bass hit on the snare hit) Yeah, that's what I thought. It sounds like snare + bass in the studio version, but not live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAM Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 1) There is no Double Bass 2) Doms right leg continues to do the same movement as in the Reading vids thoughout the song 2.5) Dom ties his laces in a tradition English single bow... he he haha good observation my man! 3)...and this may be of interest to Adam...during the heel toe section ie the first part of the song with the "Galloping" bass line he appears to play a double hit and then a SINGLE hit on the bass ie a duh duh.....duh.......duh duh.....duh.....and not just doubles as per your tab (there is no bass hit on the snare hit) The clip is only short but you can deff see his toe come down to play the note with the heel up and then his heel stays up whilst he comes down again to play the next hit. The only bit where you can see his foot like in that picture is when he's NOT playing the 'gallopping beat' lol. That screen shot was taken at a point where its a single bass hit when he hits the open hi-hat cymbal (aka MOTP drum fill). So yes, what you're seeing is him playing singles at that moment in time, but he isn't playing the 'gallopping beat' then. The bit your'e seeing is this: "...falls asleep on the job....*single + open hat* - *single + open hat* - *regular beat*..but how can we win when fools......" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_XyaSvRdk8 - 2.14 Throughout the rest of the song you can hear the double bass strokes. If only the camera man would film through the drum during the 'gallopping beat' - he would make my life SO much easier I hate to contradict you mate as you are a true Dom ambassador but honestly that is what he appears to play. I have even learnt to heel toe it and it does sound right. It sounds right because in theory, that is what he's playing. The bass and the snare are hit at the same time but because the snare has a much louder pitch to the bass it 'overrides' it and makes it seem as though its not there. ]Yeah, that's what I thought. It sounds like snare + bass in the studio version, but not live. Nope. He plays it live too. Here is the best quality video of the live double bass action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNJMOY4K7Ro 0.53-0.54 and 0.58-1.01 you can see the bass drum pedal and the resonating skin moving twice. Pop round me house anytime and have a ganders.. you can even have a bash on me rubber kit Cheers No need! But thanks! And completely off topic - check this guys assassin out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmLcwWXBM3o - he's playing it wrong but its good! look at how he spins his stick! tis whockad! ....Tho he's gonna break something playing like that!

stakka Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Bollocks...am I going to have to stand corrected then on that KOC stuff ???....well I was right about the lack of double pedals....oh..and the shoe laces Must admit I soo looked forward to that Abbey Road and then was a total anti climax due to the shite camera work and direction. In an environment like that it would have been perfect to really see them and their techniques but all we got was wobbly out of focus shots and completely fck'n missed all Dom's decent fills etc. Anyway...enough of my wingin.....oooh look.....Dom's Drums 100th page woohoo:LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niles Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Niles, I like your sig, i've lost that article, could you link me? They have a new drummer now :-( but I saw them live with Jon Theodore! It's great to read articles by Jon and Juan on each other because they had such enormous respect for each others capabilities. Jon on Juan: http://www.ink19.com/issues/june2004/interviews/marsVolta.html Juan on Jon: http://www.bassplayer.com/story.asp?storyCode=5325 *double disproof* Ok, I's wrong. Yep. Great. We all know he used it on hullabaloo. And Absolution (not the DVD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really notice the double pedal hits and assumed he was using the Gong Bass drum in the few measures before the first verse. Now I hear it and need smaller feet to heel and toe. Can anyone point me to a good description of the slide technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone point me to a good description of the slide technique. Theres a few youtube videos explaining it - but it's just a case of practicing all the time to ensure that you DO do double strokes but your not moving your foot too much (otherwise you'll miss the pedal). Its taking me quite a while but im getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
