Double bass drum Versus Double bass pedal

This one will plague many, confuse some, and sometimes just drive you mad. When I use my double bass drums it feels more natural with my feet, so if you don't care about lugging around double bass drums to practice, than more power to you.

The double bass pedal can be an effective way to pull off the quick hits and rolls of power drumming, without taking up space. The only setback is the functionality, you end up paying for what you get. The "slave pedal," (the 2nd pedal, usually left foot) is what you really need to focus on if you choose this path. So I recommend either DW "as your Honda that gets the job done double-pedal", and Axis as your "BMW".

So with some money you can get the Axis and have it feel like two bass drums, or you can continue to lug around the two double bass drums just like I do.

Until next time, keep practicing!
