THE SWEET SPOT! For all you metal heads out there who
play double bass, the sweet spot is the key to finding your
maximum speed. Find the center of your pedal and place the groove
between your toes and your foot. You're on your way! - Daniel

If your not a Double Bass player you should play a Double
Pedal. Playing differant stickings over different foot patterns
helps cordination. Think about it, would you learn one hand
at a time, NO. By playing Both hands as a unit, each hand gets
strong and the same is true with your feet, So don't learn one
foot at a time. By playing them together your feet get better,
even if you NEVER intend on playing double bass songs. I found
myself liking the Double pedal for fills & Cashendo's (excuse
my spelling lol). These Tips Work don't over look them. - Bill
Dolan

Ordinary calf raises help strengthen your calf muscles.
Many famous drummers swear by this exercise to improve on your

For double bass, don't over use. Play your normal beat
and when the audience never expects it play the double. Then
you leave them wondering how the heck you did that. - Zach

If you dont have a double bass pedal and you play a lot
like me just hit bass and then the floor tom or other toms right
after as fast as possible and it will sound like a double pedal!!
SO GO ROCK OUT!! - Kevin Maslan

Double bass drum beginners: Start out with straight sixteenth
notes and get those down real good first. Then move on to triplets,
