A student wanted to improve his speed on the kick drum.  I showed him a YouTube clip "heel off technique for kick drumming".  The drummer was incredible and his speed formidable.  He was converted.  He is now going through the transition to the "heel off" technique. 

​

To help with the transition I recommended he introduce exercises in to his daily routine.  Such as when walking around the house, or doing the dishes, he could do "heel to toe" to train the foot in to this new conditioning.

​

As a drum teacher, this is how I enable students to take on new techniques rather than staying dormant.
