WEAK FOOT EXERCISE Description:
I have been playing drums since I was 10 years old, but only a few years ago got into double bass. It is something that you really have to practice frequently to improve on, as it depends on your muscle build and memory of your legs and ankles.
When I started double bass drumming, I found that my right leg was super confident, strong, and fast, while my left leg was sloppy, slow, and weak (I am right handed/footed).
Therefore I investigated possible methods of strengthening my weak leg/foot. I found that the best way to build up the weak leg is to keep it beating constantly, to bring that slight burn and build the muscle memory the fastest. I developed this simple groove that keeps the weak foot pressin' on while incorporating the strong foot for assurance of accuracy.
The pattern (if you can't tell) is:
1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a

while keeping eighth notes on the right hand on either hihat or ride, and left hand on 2 and 4 on snare.
