WHAT IS
DOUBLE BASS DOMINATION
Originally created to prepare professional drummers for touring and headline sets, Double Bass Domination is now an 8-week double bass training program known as The Domination Method.
This isn't just another drum lesson course focusing on technical exercises. It's a comprehensive double bass conditioning program that rewires how you train your legs for speed, power, strength, and stamina—just like a pro athlete trains for peak performance.
Developed by Jon Dette (Slayer, Anthrax, Testament), this program was forged through decades of real-world touring, performing 90-minute thrash sets night after night.
It's the system Jon wished he had when he was starting out and the exact method he used to build his legendary double-bass endurance. Now, he's sharing that system with you.

 The Origin of the Domination Method
Thomas Lang Bootcamp — Thousand Oaks, CA
March 18, 2011
Â
I first designed what is now known as The Domination Method back in 2010 while training Crossfit.
The following year, I had the opportunity to test it on a large group of drummers at the Thomas Lang Bootcamp in Thousand Oaks, California.
Even Thomas himself jumped in and took part in the Domination Drills — and the results were profound. So much so, that I was invited back in 2013 to teach my Domination Method again.Â
That experience confirmed what I had believed from the start:
Whether you’re a drumming hobbyist or one of the best drummers in the world, the Domination Method will elevate your game — increasing your speed, strength, power, stamina, and pushing your double bass to the next level.
