The simple leg movement is much easier to perform than the complicated one. Eureka !!! (look at comparison below)
the drummer's toe stays in one place. It does not fly any more, instead, it provides the needed support for the foot and the rest of the leg.
heel executes the strike because its natural mechanics makes it a superior striker
no leg muscle is used to stop the descending leg, all muscles can relax and rest. In the toe-driven pedal the descending leg was stopped "on the muscle" -- what a torture !
