Here is another shot of my feet doing singles at around 260. http://rapidshare.de/files/7687461/Video.mpg.html This is just the camera mic so it is not perfect sounding. Hope this works on rapid share. God Bless Tim www.timwaterson.com

Thanks for the Kind words Romaine and Glad you guys like the video,
My Springs are med tension but also I am trying with a looser tension on my other pedals and I have more overall control.
I thought you were ALSO playing 260 in your other video?
God Bless

percusski Registered User Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 188	Tim, interesting video. Are you controlling every stroke i.e. could you place accents anywhere in the pattern? It looks like there is a down stroke and then you are allowing the beater to bounce on the up stroke, a bit like a moeller rocking motion with the hands, it looks very fluid. Using this technique is it easy to play dynamically from ppp to fff, and how about accelerandos and deccelerandos? __________________ http://www.myspace.com/drumlessonsinlondon www.linearsphere.com www.myspace.com/percusski

Glad you like the video.
Yes I am controlling the strokes and I can control the dynamics but it VERY difficult to pull off certain accents at this speed but I am working on it
I can switch between triplets and 16ths while playing this way.
accelerandos and deccelerandos are easier at a bit slower tempos just takes practice to pull off evenly but I am STILL working on it.
Hope this helps and God Bless
