Double Bass Sticking Variations
Technique by Ryan Carver // June 02 2010
Here is another page from my book Ultimate Double Bass. This is the first page of the sticking variation section. These exercises will give you better control and coordination with your hands over a constant double bass pattern. Start slow and make sure you follow each sticking variation. Be sure to line up all the strokes between the hands and feet. Once you are comfortable with each sticking try to move the hands around the kit.
