    I have never heard of Pendulum. It is an easy song to punch to and I could sure do it if I was punching right now.

    I recently, (last week) had surgery on one of my shoulders, and may need to have a follow up in another week or week or so. I doubt I'll be punching for at least a couple of months.

    the easiest way to start out is, Tap your foot to the beat, then start doing basic rhythm, punching the bag every time you tap your foot. That would be four foot taps, four punches in the basic rhythm, with 3 rebounds inbetween.
    *these would be quarter notes: 4beats=4notes. you could count this: 1-2-3-4

    You can do Front Double Punches FCP ' ' ' FDP by having the second fist of the technique hit ON the beat. (just like the basic rhythm, with a pick-up beat by the lead fist.) you will have to punch a little fast to do this, for the lead fist adds an extra rebound. In this combo, the second fist hits ON the beat after 4-rebounds, but you will hear the loud accented second fist of the FDP hit ON the beat.

    You can also pass a single fist through front to back (Front Circle Punch to Revese Single Punch [ FCP ' ' RSP ' ' FCP ] making 8 punches in four foot taps. Here, the front punch (or first punch) is "on" the beat, the second punch is at the half-point between beats.
    you could count this 1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and.....
    *these would be 8th notes: 4 beats=8notes.

    You could Front Fist Roll at several speeds, using half notes or 16ths notes. (*16th notes = 16 fist punches in 4 beats of music.) on this song, it will require a very tight roll on a small bag. 8th notes would be easier.

    notice you could have 8th notes in the double bounce pass through rhythm and also 8th notes in the Front punching Fist Roll, single bounce rebounds. The secret is adjusting your punching speed to match the bag beats to the music beat. You don't necessarily punch to music at the same punching speed, you keep the bag beat in sync with the music, by punching faster or slower accordingly. and on the bag you don't really count this as I wrote it - you "feel" it.

    But soon as I can punch, and find that music, I'll do it for ya. might be a while do a recent complication after this last surgery. I've got a sneaky suspicion that I might need a do-over

        The "root" is way too many years of abuse and overuse of the shoulders. I suspect gazillions of reps in the weight room, living by the creed: no pain - no gain, and not allowing minor injuries to heal properly before starting over. This was my 3rd shoulder surgery in that last year and a half. Looks like it may not be the last....

            thanks, Ergon. I appreciate that.

            Work on your punching skills and consistency. Hitting to music will come once you starting feeling the beat.

                    Looks like it's about that time. Hope you're healing up well and starting to feel the urge to punch again.

                      URGE, yes. Doctors release, no. I'm too old to argue with him. I have been disobedient in the past, (...and lived to return for more surgery)

                        Good job holding back until you get Dr's clearance. Old, wise, whatever-- best move you could make.

                        Maybe next time (hope there isn't a next time), they can make you bionic. Then again, judging from your videos, maybe you already are bionic!!

                          Trust Me, ( and this is from the horses mouth) I am not Bionic. What appears on video is just the power of memorex.

                          but thanks for the thought.

                            Hey Ergon,

                            I returned to hitting again, and I gave your pendulum song request, "fasten your seatbelts" a try. I didn't hit to the whole thing ( 9 minutes ) but here is about 3 minutes.

                            It's a pretty easy 4/4 beat, with 8 and 16 measure melody riffs. I start out for the first 16 measures in basic straight time punching on the beat, then go to more complicated syncopated combinations. (note the punching change when the voice over says "combination style". It's actually in the song ). There I start using various combinations that will have certain punches within them land ON the beat within a measure, syncing the sound of the bag beat with the song.

                            Hope it works for you.

                              So this seems to be a good "beginner" song? I could follow the beat tapping my foot... which I suppose means "yes". The beat isn't too crazy fast. I may give it a shot when I get back home (on the road in a hotel at the moment).

                              Can you elaborate on the Advanced FDP combo? What exactly are you doing there? I tried to rewind a few times but it goes by a bit too fast for me to pick up precisely what's going on.
