Bass drum cramp. D: How do you deal with it?
This is sort of a strange thing, cos I dont have drums. Im asking this for Guitar Hero World Tour.
__________________![]() Basically, my leg hurts like hell after a short time using the bass drum. How do you get though/around this? Am I using it right? (keeping my foot rested on it?) It never quite feels like its in the right position, no matter what I do with it. I dont know how acurate it is to a real pedal, so Im not sure how much you guys can help, but any ideas or advice is welcome. ![]() |

i think heel up is a better way to do it -- try keeping just your toes rested on it. sitting higher up might help too, but i think over time your muscles will get used to it. after a few songs my leg always starts hurting right at the hip, and it slows me down a lot.

Practice, practice, practise. Simple as that.
Heal up or heal down on the pedal is up to yor preference. With both, it merely takes practice and building up the muscles a bit. |

I find that drumming heel up prevents cramps for me, but I haven't used the GH drumkit.

Yes you need to exercise the muscles to prevent the fatigue. If it is just cramps, make sure you are getting Potassium in your diet. Banana's are a good source.
