Guys,
Started working on my double bass and it's coming along OK I think. I'm using the double bass encyclopedia lesson book and taking each page slowly. I can play 16th. notes at 92bpm fairly comfortably (4 notes per click). I started at 60bpm and worked my way up slowly over a couple of months.
I'd like to play metal style music and just trying to confirm that most of what I'm hearing on the records are 32nd notes on double bass and not 16ths. I'm assuming to practice 32nd notes, it's the same method I'm using now, but I will be playing 8 notes per click, correct? Start painfully slow (like 40bpm) and just count on my feet 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (per click) all the way through the measure? Keep snare on 2 & 4, etc.
Thanks for the advice.
