This exercise is going to help us play double kick a different way – a way I personally use to achieve clean and consistent short runs of double-kick in TesseracT songs like Juno and Utopia.
The exercise requires us to have a way of playing two kick drum hits with the right foot, so you’ll need to have an ability with heel-toe technique (my preferred method) or any of the many single-kick pedal techniques that work for you (slide, heel up, swivel, etc). We’re going to play 16th notes on the kick drum to a 4/4 count, but rather than playing R L R L, we’re going to play R R L.
