[Beno456]

can anyone recommend a double peddle for me i have played for 15 years,but have never played doble bass

[mqmqmwmw]

you are too tense when playing, relax man!

[tmont007]

Two bass drums,, well it's a matter of preference. It really doesn't matter from in front of a kit , ( audience), but I find both ways equally fun for different reasons. The feel is different on both accounts but equally fun. Anyway, this guy is cool, but reminds me of myself when I am drunk. He's probably about my age too. (50).

My playing is sloppy and disjointed when I am impaired, much like this fellow. Don't mean to be cruel. But he is selling teaching material. Wow, really?

[spunkytp]

love the kit nice work. the pattern works for me

[Masterfilm15]

can u play any 32and notes on them bass drums?

[Corpseidol666]

don't get double bass pedal, get double bass drum

[gothdude92]

i want double bass and i have the space for 2 bass drums but wot would u recomend double bass drum or double bass pedal. plz help

[Pearlbrk]

most people buy two drums, mostly for showing, but others tune for example the left one a bit higher(like mike portnoy) because you get two different sounds, althogh it will cost you much more than buying a double bass pedal. Good luck and hope you do the right choiche:)

[yams801]

not shure if you got it yet but i would go for the pedal because it has a style like the drums tho the people cant see but you can use the angle if you were to make a music video

[oertis]

I would get a really nice double bass pedal. Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive is one of the best; it feels just like 2 bass drums, but saves you space, and money, depending on the drum you would have bought.

[rockdahaus]

Nobody needs two bass drums!

But like the so much air in move when i play my two kicks! :-)

Mostly on gigs i play double pedal, easier transport!

Your choice!

[quackbeef]

hey, man i see you are using a pinstripe front head on the kick... it is really limiting the sound. I know you are old school but I would recommend an Ebony Powerstroke 3 front, it will make your kick sing! If you have a pinstripe on the batter too, I would recommend putting a Clear Powerstroke 3 on with a falam slam, the clarity of the kick will increase.

[JimHollandDrumSchool]

Hi, Thanks for the advice, I think I'll take you up on it. Jim

[ThaDeeStylee]

no offense, but how do you figure? i use them on my double bass set, but i also use Holz kits for port holes and i dont put ANYTHING in them. not even a blanket. the whole reason i use em is for a deeper sound and a shorter resonance. i do that coupled with kickpads, and tape around the edges, to eliminate the vibrational nodes with the higher frequencies... its loud, short and deeeeep.

i myself recommend them to all double bass drummers.

[quackbeef]

well, if you are old school that is the standard. The way most drummers do it now days is a clear P3 on the batter and an ebony p3 on the front. you don't really need anything in the kick drum and the ebony p3 has a built in dynamo so you don't have to cut one or get a holz kit. an ebony p3 has a built in muffle ring and i think still has a better sound than an ebony pinstripe. again the p3 is probably remo's best kick head since the pinstripe.

[ThaDeeStylee]

truth be told.

i like how staccato the thud is with the two plies of the pinstripe personally... the lack of 'boom' is great for 32nd notes. but maybe i'll give that head a try and see what i can do with it, looks pretty sweet. my main kit's 22"s are already pretty loud.... but i assume it'd be fantastic for an 18" drum.

[GGFan]

Nice drumming Jim - hope you had a Merry Christmas - its another year passing us

Tom Brice

[chevronsymes]

massive variety of double bass playing, i never realised how complex it really can be. Massive demonstration

[volitone]

Thats a pretty set of drums....and I like that cool shirt he's wearing. You too will will be a double bass monster!!

[barrella]

not knocking ya or anything, but how can you play such a dry set?

just wondering, cause I cannot play on a set like that at all. not physically, but mentally

[Rage00Against]

What does he have on his toms to deadend the ringing? Looks more than just tape. I'm just curious because it seems like a good idea, instread of putting tape in the middle of the toms.

[xryanx777x]

Muffling rings

[KrackerJacker]

try moongel.

[Drumfusions]

Weird style of playing, but the results are there. That's what matters.

[VRno1fan]

Awsome drumming, ive got this book and its amazing!!!!!!!! So good... Excellent

[gkdrummerboy]

Isn't it tiring using your entire arm?

[gkdrummerboy]

....well, how long would it take to go through all of them?

[GGFan]

Great job at playing and teaching -

I just got the book and love it

[icpfan194]

Youre pretty good old man. You should just o freestlye and record that and upload it to youtube for us all to see.

[jordanbragg]

Excellent idea to promote your book on youtube, Jim.

Good luck to you, I hope it sells a million copies.
