I was playing around with this and was wondering how a real drummer would hit the kick at different velocities. I can play drums but im no where near good to play really fast double kick beats. So I don't know a whole lot about the drummers technique when it comes to this.
Fast Triplets
Scenario 1: First hit is the hardest. Second hit is not as hard as the first hit. Third hit is a little bit harder than the second hit but not as hard as the first.
Scenario 2: First hit is the softest. Second hit is the hardest. Third hit is in between.
Maybe you guys can also post other helpful tips like for example:
-Since the left hand is weaker than the right hand, Every other snare hit should be softer.
-Usually everyone has a weak and a strong leg. Usually your right leg is the stronger one, so again every other kick hit should be slightly softer.
EDIT: I would just like to add, I have already checked out a few videos of drummers and a ton of Drum covers on youtube to see how they play it. I just thought it would be really interesting to see how you guys approach this sort of thing.
