If youโve been thinking about leveling up your double bass drummingโฆ
Just 4 weeks ago, we launched Marthynโs Drum Camp with a crazy idea:
โ No more fluff. โ No more random exercises. โ No more 10 different techniques that confuse more than they help.
Instead, we created a system. Just ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ ๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฌ. Clear structure. Real coaching. Real results.
๐ Screenshot below from this weekโs live Q&A call ๐ We already have over 100 drummers inside โ all working on their goals, asking great questions, and getting real results.
And the best part?
We're already seeing breakthroughs with both the Flatfoot Technique course and the Ankle Technique course.
Beginners are now hitting 150 BPM. Intermediates are playing faster (+170 bpm) with control.
To every member whoโs been showing up, sharing wins, asking questions:
Thank you ๐
Youโre proving that this new way of learning drums works.
Get it wrong, and you'll have trouble applying force or end up straining your ankles.
Here's what you need to watch out for:
๐ญ. ๐ง๐ผ๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ: If you're practically on top of your pedals and the footboard angle is steep, you'll struggle to keep a stable pressure point. It's awkward and can lead to pain or injury.
๐ฎ. ๐ง๐ผ๐ผ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐: Sitting too far with a flat footboard? You'll overstretch your ankles trying to push down, making it hard to apply pressure and easy to hurt yourself.
How to Adjust It
Good news: Most new bass drum pedals let you adjust the footboard angle without messing with anything else.
Stuck with older or simpler gear? There's a workaround.

What's the deal with your footboard angle?
Is it important to get this setting right?
Real talk: the angle of your pedal's footboard is more important than you think.
If you're ending practice sessions with pain or discomfort, it's probably not about how you play but about how your pedals are set up.
๐๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐
Setting up your footboard angle right is key.
Get it wrong, and you'll have trouble applying force or end up straining your ankles.
Here's what you need to watch out for:
๐ญ. ๐ง๐ผ๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ: If you're practically on top of your pedals and the footboard angle is steep, you'll struggle to keep a stable pressure point. It's awkward and can lead to pain or injury.

How to Adjust It
Good news: Most new bass drum pedals let you adjust the footboard angle without messing with anything else.
Stuck with older or simpler gear? There's a workaround.
๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ฑ๐ท๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐น๐:
First, make sure you're sitting at a comfy distance from your pedals.
Your foot (the ball and toes) should stay in contact with the footboard when you lift your heels.
If not, adjust the angle until it feels right โ no stretching or losing touch.
๐ช๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ฑ๐ท๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐น๐:
It's about how far you sit from your pedals.
If your setup feels tight and the footboard's steep, scoot your stool back. If it's loose and flat, move it closer.
The aim? Easy to keep in touch with the footboard and push down without any strain.
๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ
The right footboard angle makes a huge difference.
Play around with these tips, find what works, and you'll play better and hurt less.
Wish you a great day,

If I had to start over, there are three mistakes I'd avoid.
Double bass drumming can feel like an uphill battle.
It's tough and frustrating, but once you master it, the payoff is incredible.
In my journey, it felt like one step forward and two steps back.
Reflecting on those days, I see now that I made three key mistakes.
Let me share them so you can fast-track your progress.
๐. ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ญ:
I used to switch between leading with my right and left foot, thinking it would make me versatile.
Big mistake!
๐ ๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ค๐ ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ค๐ ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ .
Most double bass drummers start with their leading foot.
Focus on strengthening that foot from the beginning.
๐. ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ:
I hit a tempo barrier at 140 bpm and stubbornly tried to push past it using a full leg motion.
It was like trying to sprint with weights tied to my ankles.
๐ป๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ฃ ๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ค ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐๐จ๐๐ก๐๐จ.
This small tweak made a huge impact.
My speed jumped to 180 bpm within a couple of practice sessions.
It's all about working smarter, not harder.
๐. ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ (๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ญ๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ):
I practiced over 45 minutes daily, thinking more was better.
But this overpractice slowed my progress and brought it to a halt.
๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ช๐๐ ๐ข๐๐จ๐๐ก๐๐จ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฆ๐๐, ๐๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐จ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐ข๐๐จ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ค๐๐ฎ.
Give yourself time to recover and practice efficiently.
Double bass drumming is a journey of persistence and learning.
Avoid these mistakes and find an easier path to mastering it.
Progress is a steady climb, not a race.
Wish you a great day,
