Speed, Power, And Control To Revolutionize Your Drumming and Dramatically Boost Your Overall
Creativity and Confidence On The Drum Set!"
As You Keep Reading, You'll Learn Why This Complete Training System Is So Effective, And Why Drummers Are Saying It Is "Hands-Down The Best Way to Achieve Maximum Results In Both Single AND Double Bass Speed, Power, And Control!"
From: Jared Falk
Thursday, 9:20 PM
f you're up for it, I want to disclose some eye-opening and quite disturbing information to you about bass drum technique... and why so many drummers are actually practicing things that can do more damage than good to their overall musicianship. It's a sad reality, but I think it's something you should hear. Are you okay with that? Okay -
Now you may not be aware of it yet, but there is a special technique that many of today's top professional drummers are using to enable them to play their bass drum pedals with more speed, power, and control (yes, both single and double pedal setups).
This unique method is revolutionary in that it is actually no more difficult to play than basic techniques, but it actually enables you to play twice as fast... and ultimately play patterns that just cannot be reproduced with basic technique (no matter how much you practice)!
This Is Going To Disturb You...
You may have been told that - "practice makes perfect" ... or perhaps have even heard me clarify in the past that "practicing right makes perfect" ... but in this particular situation - it goes much deeper than that.
You see - the method I am discussing here is actually easier to teach to someone that has never played the drums in their life. I've shown it to countless friends and family members... and I used to be shocked by how fast they could replicate it (in two occasions I've witnessed NON-drummers play it perfectly on the FIRST try). I say "used to be shocked" because I have now come to the realization that it is actually harder to teach to drummers that have spent years playing drums without this method.
So, today's lesson is... "practicing the right technique the right way - makes perfect". How's that for a mouthful? Well... it may not be slick catchy phrase - but it truly applies to this situation!
Don't get me wrong - this technique can definitely be learned by any drummer. However, it is in your best interest to begin implementing this into your everyday playing as soon as possible! Every minute you spend practicing other techniques can potentially hamper your ability to learn and apply this revolutionary method in the future.
Why don't more drummers use this method?
I think we have all been trained growing up to believe that "the right way is the way it's always been done" - and thus we have a hard time believing something better actually exists out there.
But more than that - most drummers just plain haven't heard of this stuff before. Drum instructors aren't teaching it because they themselves haven't been taught it.
Fortunately for you, while they are struggling to learn basic techniques that can only take them so far - you can be taking your drumming to the next level!
I guess the real question you should be asking is...
How long do you plan on playing the drums? Because if you are truly interested in revolutionizing your drumming for the rest of your life... you absolutely must read on to find out how this unique training solution is helping other drummers around the world... and more importantly - how it can revolutionize your drumming as well. Are you next?
I would like to introduce you to the new and improved...
Bass Drum Secrets Training Pack

An overview of the original training video and it's creator.
Valuable practice tips that apply to learning this method, and virtually anything else you want to learn on the drums.
A detailed explanation of how to develop the basic method independently of the bass drum pedal. Different pedals have a range of inconsistencies that can make learning this technique more difficult at first - so this exercise was designed to bypass those challenges.

Tips regarding the correct way to approach this technique in order to prepare yourself for improved speed and control in the future.
Tips to assist double pedal or double bass drummers in applying this technique with the weaker foot as well (it is highly recommended that you apply this method on multiple pedals, including your hi-hat pedal, and these tips help you accomplish that with greater ease).
Bass drum pedal setting tips for maximum comfort. While these are not required for the technique - they can help... and we have received numerous requests for this kind of information in the past. The video outlines tips for what settings work when developing your bass drum technique.
A detailed explanation of how to apply the technique on a bass drum pedal (demonstrated on Iron Cobra and Axis pedals, but the tips and suggestions apply to virtually any pedal on the market).
Tips on developing the technique properly the first time, and special suggestions for mastering it with your weaker foot as well (again, this applies to double bass drummers and anyone wanting to apply the method on their hi-hat stand as well).
Tips for developing a double stroke roll with both feet using this unique technique.
Encouraging tips and suggestions for applying the technique in your everyday drumming.
Slow-motion video of the technique being applied on the pedals now (the last slow-motion clip was independent of the pedals), so you can learn this technique perfectly right from the start!
Special tips regarding an alternative way to play the method.

You May Be Asking... "Who is Jared Falk,
and Why Should I Learn From Him?"
I’ve been around a very long time... yet I still seem to be a mystery man to some people who are new to the drumming community. That’s because, for nearly 10 years, I’ve been the “secret weapon instructor ” behind the scenes teaching only private one-on-one drum lessons. Until early in 2006, I purposely avoided the spotlight and all publicity.
I’ve earned my reputation from 10 years in the trenches - playing thousands of gigs around the world (in areas like Mexico, US, Canada, the Caribbean, and much more), teaching over 150 students in private one-on-one lessons... and currently playing in ten different bands in a wide range of musical styles including rock, jazz, Latin, and funk.
While teaching and touring I use Yamaha Drums, Tama Pedals, Evans Drumheads, Vic Firth drumsticks, Drum Gum muting, and Shure headphones for in-ear monitor mixes.
I still blush when I have to bring all of this up, but I tell you this only because it’s important to help you understand that my credibility is absolutely rock-solid!
Now, with all that said, the best way to judge the reputation of someone who steps up and calls himself an professional instructor is to hear what everybody else thinks. I mean, anybody can make themselves out to be an expert, but at the end of the day - results are results, period.
Well, below are just a few of the success stories that have been sent in from my students all around the world! Most important of all, these results are just the very beginning for these drummers as they will continue to develop their skills with the help of this training solution!
So keep reading, because you will soon realize that...
These Results REALLY do speak for themselves!
My feet now have long surpassed what I had previously thought to be fast...
Jared had an incredible simple way of explaining the
technique. His step by step examples with the multiple camera angles
really made the learning proccess much easier! To be able to hear
what you should do and see it at the same time really made the
connection with me.
I was skeptical at first, due to the fact that over the
past six years I have developed a fast steady kick, without the
technique. However it wasn't fast enough. I didn't know if I could
re-train myself. Jareds video put my worries at ease. With the first
lesson he motivated me and by the end of the video, I had begun the
new journey. My feet now have long surpassed what I had previously
thought to be fast. Doing it for the first time and with in such a
short period was outstanding!
It's amazing the new avenues of rhythms and feels you
unlock, all from changing your feet. It has allowed me to grow
infinitely with my imagination, and has added the confidence I needed
to expand on my styles, and musical interests!
Thanks for all of your great study courses. They have helped me to
broaden my playing spectrum in so many ways. Wouldn't have been able
to do it without you.

The first time I played quad (single bass) pattterns in-time, cleanly, within a fill and beat - I was giggling like I just won the lotto!!!
Jared's slow and methodical explanations are easier to
follow than other training videos where you get a short, fast
explanation and then a video of the drummer playing in a "look what I
can do" manner.
The first time I played quad (single bass) pattterns in-time, cleanly, within a fill and beat - I was giggling like I just
won the lotto!!!
I'm 35 years old and haven't played consistanly since
high school, with my most recent lay off at 8 years. Not only has my
playing come back to it's original form, I believe I am a better
technical drummer than I have ever been. Furthermore, my sight reading
has improved just from seeing the rythym written out and then played. Thank you!

...I've actually been able to use the techniques within 20-30 minutes of watching the video.
I purchased many - many instructional videos for drumming, and I have to say that this is the first one that I've purchased - that I've actually been able to use the techniques within 20-30 minutes of watching the video.
Clarity of teaching style, the slow motion clips, everything comes together to make it very easy to apply what you are trying to teach us.

I can play the double bass now, and have even noticed an improvement in my single bass...
I like the way he took the time to break it down. To actually show you step by step and also to encourage you not to give up. Also the slow motion video so you could actually see what was going on.
I can play the double bass now, and have even noticed an improvement in my single bass as far as speed and being able to get that double kick in good with just one pedal.
- Dusty Willige

...was very easy to learn and understand, and that impressed me a lot!
I really liked that he did the lessons slow as possible so
that you could understand what he was saying, and because he took it
slow, it was easy to follow along with. Another thing, which is the
best thing about the video, is the foot cam and the foot cam with the
slow motion.
I can't
stress enough how much that help me. The fact that the actual foot
motion on the bass pedal, when shown with a slow-motion camera, was
very easy to learn and understand, and that impressed me a lot!
It has improved my drumming drastically. The most
obvious improvement is bass pedal speed. The thing that I'm most happy
with, is to play a regular bass beat, but be able to throw in a double
hit here and there and it sounds so good. Good work! Thank you!

...I find I don't have to think about my feet/bass drum as much any more.
He used very clear instruction. I like the use of multiple
learning speeds. It helps alot.
The foot technique was the most impressive. I practice
at work. I even showed my wife a few techniques.
It has greatly increased my bass drum consistency. I
find I don't have to think about my feet/bass drum as much any more.

I used to be right foot dominant, but now I'm learning to be right and left foot dominant...
I like the camera angles that show exactly what Jared is doing. I also like the way the video is slowed to 25%, 50%, and 75% speed.
The audio portions are clean and clear, making it easy to hear.
I used to be right foot dominant, but now I'm learning to be right and left foot dominant.
I've been able to subdivide my tempos and improve my timing. I've also started to practice with a "click" and that, combined with the Bass Drum Secrets, my overall performance has improved.
My contemporaries have noticed an improvement in my performance, but they aren't sure what it is... they only know that something's going on for the better.

I was totally impressed how fast you can play the bass drum with the use of a simple technique...
The use of the slow motion to teach the double stroke on the bass drum pedal was extremely useful. Jared's explaination of the technique was clear and simple and allowed me to understand how to accomplish the technique.
I liked hearing what can be done utilizing the bass drum more often in playing drum beats. I was totally impressed how fast you can play the bass drum with the use of a simple technique and a little woodsheding.
I've found that I don't worry about the bass drum being the weakest part of my playing anymore. I'm able to incorporate the bass drum in more of my fills and I can play some drum beats with little or no trouble that I had trouble doing before.

It has changed my drumming to a whole new level whatever i do with my hand i can mimic with my feet!
Definately a plus to the drummer wanting to increase
control and speed... I had it and literally started a double stroke
roll in minutes watching the foot raise technique and must say ...why
did it take this long before i bought the training pack? Want to
thank Jared especially for taking the time to put this
together... bravo my friend!
How simple it was but never gave it much thought on how
simple it really was till i seen it from Jared. He really gave me an
insight on how fundamentally easy drums can be from breaking
everything down to a simple groove then building from there... thanks
again bro. It has changed my drumming to a whole new level whatever
i do with my hand i can mimic with my feet!

It uncovered pro techniques that had defied attempts at duplication (until now)...
Clear concise instructions. Clear video images capturing techniques taught. High production values. experience: It uncovered pro techniques that had defied attempts at
duplication (until now).
Bass Drum Secrets inspired me to experiment with new techniques to create new sounds from my kit. I'm incorporating it into my playing
more often and with more spontaneity!
