Left-Footed Double Bass Patterns 3 Years, 1 Month ago Karma: 0
Dave Lombardo starts all of his double bass runs with his left foot.
Now, he's left-handed playing on a right handed kit. Does anyone know of
a song with double bass licks where a right-handed drummer starts
the pattern with his left foot (or vice versa)? Do you know of a drummer
that does this regularly?
I've seen Flo Mounier and Derek Roddy do solos where they blast using
the left foot and right hand, but I'm wondering about patterns and songs,
something like this (see attachment)(for a left handed drummer the footing would
be reversed):



See how the left foot starts part of pattern 1?
or maybe a left-handed shuffle like pattern 2. See how the left foot plays
the first note of the shuffle?

I'm wondering if you guys know of any particular songs where the drummer
actually plays a pattern this way. I know guys like Thomas Lang and
Virgil Donati do, but lets keep this extreme metal please.

Here's the patterns I was talking about. I turned it into
an image because the text didn't come out right. Sorry.

I assume those guys would be doing that to maintain and build strength in their left foot. Those patterns you posted could easily be played starting on the right. You could take any pattern and start it with your left foot. I think its just a good way to practice.
