The feel
A straight in 4/4 around 190 BPM. It's fast — economy of motion is everything; speed comes from relaxation, not force.
What to watch
- •Build the double-kick / blast stamina slowly — relaxation and evenness before speed.
- •Keep the quarter-note kick relentless and even — it's the engine.
- •Advanced: isolate the single hardest bar and loop it slowly before ever playing along.
