How the hell do you not bury the beater at slow speeds. Playing stuff at 200 bpm is easy but this for some reason is really hard.
I've been trying to unbury the beaters for 6 months now and while for fast double bass work I prefer playing with the beater off the head but playing beats and slow double bass stuff below say 120 BPM I still have way more control when burying it.
The problem is when I play RLRLRL at 60 BPM for instance. I's really hard to not get an inbetween ghost note as my feet are doing the up motion in preparation for the next stroke.
Does anyone have any kind of tips for this.
The answer is obviously that I never practice those slow speeds and need to do it more but I could use some guidance here.
Also I realize you would never play double bass at 60 BPM, you would simply use one foot but it's a weakness and it will show up on other stuff as well.
