I can't control my legs when playing gimbal

  • shalom

    it's all from technology. Better to go to the teacher, of course. We need to play as relaxed as possible. And a LITTLE increase in speed. Accelerate and slow down. Increase the pace a little bit from day to day. Don't rush the time. Everything will come. And you can't fool time!

    Let's get started first:
    1. you play for a year or two at most.
    2. there is no staging judging by the symptoms.
    3. like everything else - you want to quickly and immediately, that's what everything comes from.
    draw conclusions - health is not broken yet, but the first signs are already there.
    if possible, take lessons from a teacher, but not from a metalworker, and a classic is better - no one has canceled school yet, and metalworkers are the same as you - without knowledge, but videos on YouTube may have watched more and broken more sticks - there is not much other difference.
    in general, if you understand your problem, then start working out your legs at a slow pace - it is each stroke and slowly. watch the dynamics so that both legs sound the same, and not so that the left one follows the right one (for right-handers).

    No one will give you universal advice) Vaughn Derek Roddy recommends to score on techniques, listen to your body and play as it is more convenient. Others are now advising a technician, teacher, etc.

  • drummies

    Roddy advised based on knowledge. it's ok.

    but when a beginner hears the phrase "play it your best", it mostly leads him to problems.

    "play as conveniently as you like" works when you have played both heal-ups and healdowns, etc. then you already choose what is really more convenient for you.

    and when you just start, you are not comfortable with anything - there is nothing to choose from. therefore, only the classics for the first time - then you yourself already cook.

    listen carefully to drumeo c Roddy again "I don't have any technique, I just put my feet on the pedals and pile on", "you won't learn how to play fast music by playing slowly, these are different things, just start playing fast and the body will rub by itself." These are literal quotes, the rest of the context is in the same spirit.

    And as for all sorts of slides and swivels, they come naturally, even if you don't know anything about them.

    Where do the questions about technology come from then? look at the post's cap again) everyone understands everything, but they managed to screw up their legs, not having time to catch the general technique)) how so?

  • kreker

    The rates of 140-150 are quite small and forgive certain technical problems. This does not mean that you can ignore the technique, it means that the root of the problem in this case is one hundred percent in control, and not in how the pedal is trampled. Therefore, two advice suggests itself: a) find a pace at which control is lost, and gradually move away from it, without trying to jump over your head, no matter how you want, and b) in parallel, follow the technique and sensations. Something like that.

  • insider

    Firstly, you pinch your toes - this is the first joint, secondly, you did not engage in the healdown technique, thirdly you did not play control exercises, fourthly - most likely the brain still devotes a lot of time to the hands and legs do not obey, the fifth dynamic positions and little practice, and 7 - you hope that thanks to tips and video schools you can emphasize something

    Play Hilap

    nowhere is it said that when using the hilap technique, you need to lift the heel. And this is a specific mistake. There is also an assumption that the so-called seizure, or lack of control, is associated with a basic misunderstanding of the principle of operation of this technique.



    And by the way, I advise you to stop dismissive of metalheads - the classics turn their noses up too high to be able to ignore the obvious jump in drumming over the past 10-15 years, which is largely due to modern heavy tensions.

    Before you allow yourself to deviate from the correct setting, technique, etc., you need to learn how to do it RIGHT. And this is not only in the art of drumming. The teacher will help you in any way.
