Foot Development (New Lessons Added!)

Building Great Technique and Strength

   Watch Promo

Welcome to my Foot Development Course!

Just like the Hand Development course, this course focuses on the foundations of solid technique. I address balance and positioning on the pedal boards, adjusting the pedal so it’s right for you, and how this relates to aspects of your playing, including: seat position/distance, getting rebound, and exercises for developing single and double strokes. I also embark on some basic independence work.

Make sure to comment on this course under each lesson! As always, Dave and the team will be monitoring both the lessons and the private Facebook group!

Coming soon in the "Guest Instructor" section: a full course on double bass drum playing with a double bass master!
