Do you drummers know any good exercises that i could do at the gym to increase my double bass stamina or any other exercise that is weight related
You need to do exercises to build endurance. Sticks weigh ounces, so no real weight exercises needed here. Bass drum pedals have small springs that are stretched by huge legs. Weights not needed here either. As for ankle weights, they are a leading cause of stretched or torn achilles tendons which take a long time to heal. Jog, ride a bike, treadmill etc. Use the weights, light ones for building endurance and n to for muscle mass. Some of the best drummers in the world are very little guys.
You want endurance on a kit.....play the thing....often.
Can you be more precise here? I've learned in this forum that 'stamina' can be understood quite differently. One person thinks of 'I want to play 30 seconds @ 180bpm', the other 'I want to play 5 minutes @ 250 bpm" - just as an example.... to increase my double bass stamina...
