Hey bro ~

I'm lookin to get back at it after 20 years off.

What pedals do you recoomend for double bass?

[GrooveDrummin]

@StowAlex

They reissued the Camco pedals. I'll be buying one and will let you know if they still rock but I used to play one in the 80s and I remember how much I loved it. They do come in double pedals. What I can confirm is that the Pearl Eliminator double pedal is very adjustable and quite smooth. I would suggest that for now.

I forgot to mention...

You took a break for 20 years? Wow! Great to hear you got back into it!

hi dan can you tell me what the difference in sound is between a snare of 5" by 14" and 6.5" by 14" ?

[GrooveDrummin]

@RubenVW95

If you search for "memphis drum shop supraphonic" you'll find vids that demo the sound for you to judge the differences. The shallower snare will have a higher pop but less bottom than the 6.5.

Which snare are you using in this video? it isnt the Ludwig 402 thats for sure

[GrooveDrummin]

@dsckakashi

Ludwig classic maple 8x14 (LS484)

~ LOL ~

I played out alot when I was 17 to 23, so ALMOST 20 years~ I'm 40 now. Did a few studio & live recordings, nothing big time. Don't know why I waited to get back at it, i LOVE it. Just had a bit of a busy & crazy life for a while. ANYHOW, thanks for the info!

Thank you, Dan, this is very inspiring! Great work!

[dangerics]

Drums sound great. You have a good sound kit that's versatile. Sounds great for this, for jazz, funk etc. Good stuff.

I bet a lot of people that watch your videos immediately go running for their kits. Very inspiring and entertaining.
