In this clear instruction video, Jeff Salem delivers an introduction to double bass drumming, targeted at the beginner but with enough material so that the more advanced player will be challenged as well. The hour-long film features Salem teaching warm-up exercises, beats, and fills in both 16th-note and 8th-note triplets. The new drummer will benefit from the more fundamental information, which serves as review and extra practice for the intermediate to advanced student. Salem's no-nonsense style enhances his process of imparting basic techniques for the double bass.
