Ash from Revocation is here to show you three double bass grooves every beginner metal drummer should know: a straight forward single stroke pattern, a triplet groove, and a gallop pattern. If you need to break them down further, take away one hand or foot to see what the relationship is between each limb. Try to resist playing fast right off the bat; make sure you’re comfortable at a slow tempo before you build speed.
Ash Pearson is the drummer of Boston-based technical death metal band Revocation, and formerly of heavy metal band 3 Inches of Blood. He is also a member of Zimmers Hole and Old Black (featuring Jed Simon) and is affiliated with bands Ultra Earth and Ritual Dictates (featuring Justin Hagberg).
