Double Bass Killers
Technique by Ryan Carver // November 02 2008
Here is a page from my upcoming double bass book, Ultimate Double Bass. This example is from the workout portion of the book. Here you will be going from 1/16 notes to 1/16 note triplets using various foot patterns. It is very important to start slow and play each exercise for as long as you can. These are meant to be endurance exercises to improve control of your double bass. Let me know how they work for you. Have fun!
