So theoretically one of the main advantages of using long board pedals for doubles is that you gain better leverage off the heel plate. So he has raised his heel plates up significantly to increase the leverage to make the doubles more powerful, which also decreases the need for extreme trigger settings. Either way the dude is a madman.

Doubles aren't too hard to learn, took me forever to figure it out. I recommend making your pedal board as flat as comfortably possible and using a flat footed technique. Just bring your heels a little off the back of the pedal and press down with the middle of your foot. I can do it and you're better than me so I'm sure you can do it bro! I'd love to see you incorporate them too!
@grinkorable3 жыл бұрын
I think his pedals need that robocop ice cream sandwich because his chair might be adjusted very high, so he somehow cannot reach his pedals...Very ultra odd technique, but it works for him so whatever....I also noticed he leans his back forwards when he does his doubles, which is also very weird....His push pull is amazing, it almost looks like a fucking gravity blast...
@antondubkov3 жыл бұрын
I'm more surprised when people don't lean, since playing fast (240+) and long runs of doubles require a LOT of leg force and body weight being over the pedals
@mainwolfe3 жыл бұрын
I feel we are close to an Anthony Barone reaction
@Shadow0fd3ath24 Жыл бұрын
The pedals are raised due to his height as they give him more power with a lower heel, less pedal movement when letting up, and the ability to bounce his heel more and then tap the ball of his foot almost as his arch hits the pedal bottom, rather than kicking forward with the toes toward the front of the pedal. More of a scooted back heel-ball technique instead of "heel toe"

doubles are pretty easy, it's actually more about the pedal settings and using the right type of triggers and stuffing your kicks. I use trigmic lasers and they work awesome for doubles, built in samples so you only need one xlr cable, not 3 or 4. runs on batteries so no power supply needed. You can basically double your fastest double bass speed using doubles. Cheers Craig!
