[@aboutthemetal8783]

As a drummer of over 34 years it always makes me smile watching a single bass player try double bass for the first time , going slow is the key to playing fast , play slow ,learn the technique that suits you best , then practice ,practice ,practice and before you know it your muscle memory starts working for your left foot , also try playing the bass drum with your left foot only to build the leg up to the same standard as your right leg. Oh also have the spring tension on the pedal as tight as possible , it helps if you want to play fast double bass .

I'd be very interested in seeing you try to learn the swivel technique and/or heel-toe and then try applying them to the dualist pedals. I think it would be fascinating to see if those techniques would even work on those pedals or not and if they do, the result would likely be incredible

Swiveling on both would probably make a sound like a bumblebee lol 🤣

[@stabbymcpenguin277]

@@jonnylawless6797 Lmao true

[@TheDivergentDrummer]

I cant see heel toe working on the Dualist, especially since it is a second beater, and the upstroke is already generating a second stroke mechanically. It may be interesting on the Drumtech tho, being as it actually has a heel 'pedal' and linkage, essentially just making the transfer of kinetic energy to the beater more efficient then an actual heel toe stroke on a standard pedal.

[@stabbymcpenguin277]

@@TheDivergentDrummer You're probably right, but I think it would still be worth attempting. I'm more so interested in seeing the swivel technique tried on the Dualist. Even if neither of the techniques work on the Dualist, it would be worth trying for science

In my years of playing a double kick/bass set-up, I always found that the closer you can get the beater to the drum in a resting position, the less effort you have to assert to gain speed and clarity. You wanna just "kiss" the drum head & let your microphones do your "heavy lifting" 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼

[@davidsheffield2508]

[@TheDivergentDrummer]

I've been trying to develop my heel toe, and my standard short Gibraltar pedal is the just to say too short. Yes you are using the rebound, but I can see where this pedal would be 'useful'. When I kick off a heel toe double, it starts with my heel actually hitting the back half of the board. So much so that my toes are in the chain. So I would think that having the ability to transfer that kinetic energy more efficiently to the beater, in fact it's own beater, would add some benefit. It takes a lot of practice just to get heel toe working and get that motion down, so practicing with that thing would feel like something completely strange, especially for someone who never uses their heels, save for a field show or two....

[@TheHylden]

This stuff is insane. The double duel pedal seems really awesome for those of us, like me, who have never done double pedal. the other one is nuts, really bad design. i do have a question of where you get your outer rim mute stuff for your drum heads, or are they just cutouts of sound rings?

[@chucktouchton398]

The best way to get faster on double bass, is to find the technique that's most natural feeling for you and get a badass set of pedals... I have Trick Bigfoot pedals, with the old school tension springs and original fulcrum design, which, for me, is better than the updated one. If you ever decide to get a set, call and request the original tension springs...they probably still produce them, as I purchased a set to see the difference. There is a HUGE difference. If they don't make the old design anymore, get Axis longboards. Not to be "that guy", but you should definitely invest in some high end heads. Might I suggest the Aquarian Performance II tom heads, the Superkick 2 or 10, and the High Energy batter and resonant for the snare. You could possibly keep the same resonant heads for the toms and bass drums, but just listen to the drums after you put the new set on (no reason to break them in...they are pre stretched before they are shipped out. Sorry to write a novel, just want to see you guys get the most out of those drums. Mapex is a great maker and I want them to sing when you play em! Put a little money in and you'll be glad you did. You would be amazed how a better sounding kit can inspire you to play even better. Best of luck to you both and happy drumming!

[@evangalinsky2499]

On the other non-dualist pedal, the one the with second pedal for the heel, I wonder how different or easier it would be to block/remove the beater on the regular pedal and just use the heel pedal, I feel like you could play a lot faster and with a lot more power than the traditional way/traditional pedal. Would probably work best with something blocking the main pedal from moving so you can use it as an anchor point for the front of your foot so you can just keep raising and dropping the heel, instead of raising your foot or your whole leg the regular/normal way. Something for another video maybe? Just heel kick drumming?
