BonScott Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi everyone! First post ever lmao. I've been playing the drums for about three years now and I have decided to start playing songs that require a double bass pedal. Does anyone have any recommendations? Please post them. My instructor, and yes I've been playing for three years and still have an instructor (we are really good friends), has recommended a Pearl P122TW Power Shifter Double Bass Drum Pedal. Anyone have one of those that wants to give their input? Edit: OH AND IF YOU EVER WANNA TALK MUSIC (SPECIFICALLY ROCK/METAL) OR DRUMS, ADD ME AS A FRIEND! :thumbsup: "You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you are all the same." - Jonathan Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range_This11 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've been drumming since about 3 and I play a 9 piece double bass kit. The only way I would recommend you using double bass is if you feel you have mastered the single pedal. If you really have, go out and buy The Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming and get yourself a DW double pedal or another bass drum. If you have any questions about drumming at all, feel free to PM me.

dragoonson Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If you don't want to buy the pedal,you can always learn the slide,too. so i herd u liek devarts?If you look at me and feel offended by my 666-ism,think.I could be just as offended by your "cross".[hide=This's why I'm hot]The Eleventh Commandment:Thou Shalst only say "Amen,brother".Amen, brother :lol:Amen, brudda (referring to the 10th commandment)amen Bruder!

guss Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The band Engineer's drummer doesn't use one, They aren't needed (Over used now days)I do have a Dw5000, but Even a pulse pro works OK (Musician's friend brand). Ps Bands look for a drummer who can keep a beat, and is Unique. My pure's stats: str:70attc:35def:4range:72mage:70hp:70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xezalb Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Dw makes nice pedals, and so does Pearl, but you don't need to get too expensive if you aren't going to play too often or fast. A less expensive PDP pedal might work just fine for you. However, it is not as fast as some double-chained pedals out there. It's good to be back.

Thanks, I'll think about a PDP, athough I've heard some not so great things about them.

Azvareth Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Iron Cobras have the best speed. Demon drives just came out! When me and my friends were out one night, we found a case with Iron Cobras inside them outside an apartment building. My friend, who's a drummer, grabbed them. Apparently they cost around 500eur.
