Based on a historical incident, Duel casts Damon as Jean de Carrouges, a battle-scarred 14th-century French knight who challenges rival Jacques le Gris (Adam Driver) to hand-to-hand combat after le Gris rapes Carrouges’ wife.

The movie is engrossing, entertaining and ultimately eye-opening. They’re partnered with cowriter Nicole Holofcener ( Enough Said), with Ridley Scott directing. And it comes from an unexpected creative team: Matt Damon, 51, and Ben Affleck, 49 - in their first writing collaboration since Good Will Hunting won the duo an Oscar in 1998. Without the strong foundation your house fall apart the more you build on your foundation.The Last Duel is something entirely unexpected: a lavish medieval swashbuckler for the Me Too era. I like the building a house analogy, you need a good foundation otherwise it doesn't matter how big or nice the house you build on it is. It's way more difficult and time consuming to fix bad habits then to start with good habits. YouTube is good but you're going to improve way faster with someone to observe and help fix your technique before you develop any more bad habits. Doing this every day you will likely find you can get a few bpm faster every day and stay relaxed.Īlso take lessons, I'm guessing you haven't from the video. Imo you should be practicing a lot slower and gradually speeding up to just below the tempo at which you get tense, then stay there for a long time. That said it's totally possible to blast much faster than this using only wrist (German grip). Open close, push pull, French grip, or anything that uses more finger control will help and is the way most people play faster blast beats. I'll just add that tension is the enemy of speed and control. Just have to practice making both legs do it perfectly even. Like bouncing a leg when restless, it's the same muscles. Your legs will actually feel relaxed and not strained at all. But if you can achieve the same feeling if dribbling a basketball, but with the kick pedal and both feet, then you can play clean fast tempo double bass singles without even breaking a sweat. Although there's other methods equally as effective. Same technique can be applied to double bass. That's how they achieve such fast tempos, while staying so clean sounding, without straining their arm muscles. But do it with two hands, and in various patterns. The goal is to feel like your dribbling the stick against the drum, like a basketball. From there you can practice building up speed and cleanliness. You kinda have to figure out the exact positioning for yourself, but that's a rough guideline to at least get the initial grip and motion figured out. Lastly add some wrist motion for power and an easier time at slower tempos. Then lightly incorporate the other fingers for more control. Then start bringing in the other fingers to control it better, and incorporate the middle finger as part of the motion too. Then just keeping that motion start bouncing it off a drum head or practice pad. You can put pressure between both fingers, slightly off center of each other so the stick just pivots on its own momentum. Try to find the point on the stick where it can easily move around your index finger like a pivot point. Just like normal but only those two fingers.

The way I first figured out how to at least find the initial technique, to then practice and make clean, is first: hold the stick just with your thumb and index finger.
