A revolutionary new approach designed to help your feet rival your hands with regard to speed, control and dexterity through the use of the "F2F Foot Control System"-allowing you access to the NEXT BIG THING in drumming. This book is not JUST for double bass drummers. It is for ALL drummers who wish to improve their foot technique and their hand/foot equality. It should help every drummer regardless of style direction or musical genre. Double bass drummers, including those who want to develop skills like those of today's top double pedal gurus, will directly benefit from these studies, but single bass drum/hi-hat players will also derive great benefit from this book.

Extremely well written and informative, the exercises within are well graduated and work on many levels to solidify your technique on the drums. By first strengthening the left foot to equal the right foot's abilities, you can then move on to balance the abilities of your hands and feet. This "from the ground up" approach to drumming improvement mirrors what masters like Thomas Lang and Vigil Donati have long been proponents of---a better balanced performance at the drums. That is, the hands and the feet are working at the same high level. The feet are no longer merely supporting the hands, but rather achieve equal partnership with them.
All of the hand rudiments are developed here for the feet! Section two has you mastering hand/foot interaction in exercises that can be played forwards, backwards, upside down, and upside down backwards. The grooves in section three are challenging and fun and really work toward giving the player stronger 4 limb interactivity and independence.
I've worked on this book over and over again and each time I play through it, I am better than I was the last time!
This will help double pedal players DIRECTLY and single bass drum/hihat players indirectly through "side-effect" learning by developing stronger, more agile feet through working out with the double bass drum pedal.
I hope there will be a book 2! (although this book is very comprehensive on its own)

Fantastic Feet Stepping Outside the Box Steve Fitch 9780786681556 Books Reviews


While geared mostly for double bass drum pedal players, this book can and will effectively help one's hi-hat playing ability. I found myself, after a few days of practice through F.F., to discover a new level of comfort at the drumset, specifically in passages which include complications in both the hands and feet simultaneously. I have recommended this book to a few friends and colleagues and each and every one of them has expressed their liking, but nothing feels as good as the skillset I have embellished upon myself.

S. Fitch knows his stuff and doesn't hesitate to write technically interesting patterns -- and a boat-load of them so you'll never get tired / want to stop. There are enough exercises provided to work at any pace and not feel like you just played the same thing over and over again.
Steve Fitch is the real deal when it comes to drumming and percussion. He has been with the Phoenix Symphony for more than 2 decades and is one of the most amazing trap set visionaries alive today. If you want to see him live check out

"The Phoenix Symphony becomes "The Big Big Band Jazz at the Symphony," performing charming favorites from the golden age of jazz March 6-8 in Symphony Hall. Resident Conductor and "Bandleader" Lawrence Golan leads performances of some favorite tunes from Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and more, including "Sing, Sing, Sing," "Moonlight Serenade" and "In the Mood." The program also features Phoenix Symphony Principal Trombone Kim Ohlemeyer performing William Hill's Concerto for Jazz Trombone and Phoenix Symphony Percussionist Steve Fitch performing Harold Farberman's Concerto for Jazz Drummer and Symphony Orchestra. Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 8 p.m. and a Sunday matinee concert begins at 2 p.m.; all concerts are at Symphony Hall in downtown Phoenix."

His jazz kit skills will both thrill and amaze you! And if you really want your own pair of Fantastic Feet, give this book a read, then get to kickin'!
