I have a vague idea what this is , but could someone give me some advice on :
1) How to do it :) (Please explain)
2) How to practise and improve the technique
3) Why do people use this technique , and do you have any other good advice on achieving fast and undercontrol double bassing?
Thanks!

Practice slow to refine and hardwire the movement, Speed will come as you gain strength and control. Later....T

I have no idea how they do it but it works for some.

My best advice: practice practice practice until it hurts and then practice some more, TO A METRONOME.

Here's some wicked, nasty, brutal, godly, demonic swivel that will make you want to quit double bass:

Ddrum artist Tim Yeung of Divine Heresy. Check out @1:34. Sick. He's pulling off sixteenths @ 237 bpm!!!!! Uh, yeah, that's why some people use that technique.
