I bet most people thought this would be a thread of double pedal playing but, it's not.
Instead, it's about when I see a lot of great drummers solo they occasionally get 'crazy foot'. They'll be keeping time with their left foot on the hats then they'll do something really technically demanding with their hands, often between their right foot too and their left foot just starts doing whatever it likes!
People don't ever seem to comment on it and neither do people seem to mind. I've always had the rule of 'if I can't keep straight time with my left foot through this part then don't even try' but, I'm starting to think I may be wrong for having this attitude.
What are your thoughts on this? Does it bother you? Would you do it yourself?
