Typicaly one feels they can play faster on two seperate pedals, however it sounds like you have gotten use to the twin pedal. You probably are very comfortable with the twin pedal and it will take a little while to get the speed back up to normal. Another thing to check is to make sure your seperate pedals are set at the same tension, same distance from the head that your twin pedals were. Make sure the heads on the bass drums have the same tension, that they are spaced apart equal the twin pdl.
continuing the last paragraph... I've been playing drums for only 9 months, I have very good speed when I'm playing with my double pedal but I feel weird when I'm playing with my two bass drums, the single pedals set up are the same but I can get the same speed anymore, is this normal?
excellent video, I have a question for you, I have a demon drive double pedal, but now my Christmas present for my wife was a extra bass drum, I went to the music store and bought 2 single demon drive pedals, I didn't like the idea to convert my double pedal in two singles,
I want to play drums and my fav. genre is thrash, and some tech, death metal, so when I buy and start building drums, I should get two bass drums and 2 single pedals, right?
@jrpg0360....your an idiot joey jordison has played with two bass drums since the release of slipknots first album when he could afford a set that big why the hell would he put an extra unmiked bass on stage?
What about Joey Jordison? He mostly plays fast stuff, yet he uses a double bass pedal, so he only uses one bass drum, the other one is just there (not miked btw). I wonder why would he use it that way?
Thanks so much for explaining to me what my problem has been with my double kick pedal lately. I play music such as Slayer, Megadeth, even Tool, and yes, it can be pretty fast music- especially Slayer. So now I know getting two bass drums will ease my double kicking.
After gigging around for a while 2 bass drums get annoying Double bass pedal all the way unless you got a Drum Tech which i doubt any of us have... nice job on the comparison
So that's why when I pull off 16th notes @ 160BPM I tense up because of the head ahh I get it. I use a Pearl Eliminator DemonDrive Double Bass pedal n it works like its advertised
The other thing I've noticed about the double bass pedal is a slight lag in the linked pedal. You get used to it and never notice it until you play two singles or don't play a while and come back to it.
I hurt my back several years ago and am now trying to pick it back up again. I have the TD-20 brain and a kit I built myself. What kind of preset do you use?
@beerhoven I am not sure what you mean by preset. I have a TD10 Brain. With a lot of pedals on the market, I agree with you about the lag. I have probably gotten used to it.
all you said about two bass drums and two pedals was the difference in speed. You didnt mention on how It can hold drums for you or the other problems of double pedals, like the linkage. You can only have it so far away. Some drummers like a wide spread, i do personally. I couldn't do that with my linkage. Thats why i got another bass drum.
