Overview

Bass Drum Secrets Pack Overview

  • Bass Drum Secrets

    A brief overview of the technique and what is known about it's origins and how it was originally developed.

  • 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.

  • Slow motion video of this practice exercise being played independently of the bass drum pedal, so you can play it correctly the first time (No more creating bad habits)!

  • 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.

  • Bass Drum Secrets Screenshots

    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.

  • Eight unique warm-up patterns that are specifically designed to help you develop this technique in a variety of ways. They can be applied on double pedals or single pedal and hi-hat combinations.

  • Ten Single Pedal Beats that use the advanced methods discussed in this video training solution. These are great for anyone looking for easy ways to apply what they've learned in musical grooves.

  • Twelve Single Pedal Fills for blazing fast speed around the kit. Yes, using the special technique with hand-to-feet combinations (even with just single bass) can produce some mind-blowing options!

  • Ten Double Pedal Beats for those of you interested in taking the concepts discussed in this video into blazing fast double pedal drumming! Many of these patterns are virtually impossible to play with the basic pedal techniques most drummers are using today.

  • Six Double Pedal Fills - again, these are for the extremists out there that want to really take their double pedal drumming to levels of insanity. By combining the techniques discussed in this video with double bass and hand-to-feet combinations (at the same time!) you will be able to play some truly incredible patterns!

  • Ten Broken Up Beats for drummers looking to push the bounds of creativity by apply these techniques in new and unique ways. These patterns are a little out there - but will give you a whole new approach to playing the bass drum within musical drumming!

  • All sections include detailed explanations of what is being played, and how to best approach the patterns.

  • YES, every single application includes footcam video showing exactly what is happening on the bass drum pedals!

  • Twelve (YES twelve) complete drum solos to show you a wide variety of ways that you can implement advanced bass drum techniques into your very own crowd-pleasing solos!

  • A Slow-Motion Video Loop for those of you interested in watching the technique performed over and over an unlimited number of times in slow motion so you can match everything perfectly when first developing this technique (that's right - it just repeats until you tell the DVD to stop)

  • The Original Bass Drum Secrets Video (a HUGE value) has been included for free for a limited time. Yes, this is Rick Kettner's original bass drum technique video ported to DVD for your home-viewing pleasure (I still can't believe Rick agreed to include this as a free bonus).

  • Complete Detailed Sheet Music outlining all of the warm-up beats, single pedal beats, single pedal fills, double pedal beats, double pedal fills, and broken-up beats covered in this vast training pack!

  • Free 45+ Page Drum eBook with extremely valuable drumming material including rock, jazz, Latin, funk, rudiment, and double bass content. Yes, another huge bonus included at no cost.

"My feet now have long surpassed what I had previously thought to be fast..."

Jared had an incredibly simple way of explaining the technique. His step by step examples with the multiple camera angles really made the learning proccess much easier!


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.

"The first time I played quad patterns 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 andbeat - 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!

"It was very easy to learn and understand, and that impressed me."

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. 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.
