I need to learn two double bass drum patterns:

The first one is just repeated over and over again. The second repeats the first measure and then repeats the second measure.

My question is about how I should approach this. There are two extreme ways:

1. Play all even 16ths with my right and all odd with my left


2. Play every other note with my left

And of course there's everything in between. For instance in the first pattern, I have tried using RRRLRRLRLR. And in the second bar in the second pattern I don't really need the left foot at all. The only benefit would be to make it easier to focus the right foot on keeping the pulse. Assume that I cannot do two 16th in a row with any foot. I'm not skilled enough in heel toe technique and I don't have the option to buy a suitable pedal or tweak the existing ones.

So how should I approach this? Which beats should go on my right and left?

My first thought is do it the way that is most comfortable to you.

However, It can't hurt to learn it every way you can think of. Reason being it will help you down the line when some odd rhythm is put in front of you.

Practicing it different ways will help you be more versatile if you really work at it or it will allow you to find some weak spots in your playing, which you will then be aware of and can avoid it in the future.
