Hi all!

Recently I've been thinking a lot about purchasing another bass drum it's really ennoying because I can't make up my mind about setting up a double bass set or staying with a simple bass set-up.

Would some of you help me out with your opinions/questions I should keep in mind while making my choice/other...

Maybe this will help me make a decision.

Thanks in advance,
Me.

Do you travel much with your drums?

For the show it's probably cooler to have a double bassdrum set-up, but I'd just buy one bassdrum with twinpedal, and with the money you save buy some more cymbals or something.

if ur a triggered player then yes 2 kicks ....but thats the only real advantage to 2 bassdrums.... if ur not playing death metal , one kick should be jus fine.... but 2 kicks look bad the fuk asssssss

i agree with frank with money business. im actually going to sell my second bass drum for twin pedal pretty soon cuz moving it is just a pain in the buttocks. i was afraid getting a double pedal would make it more uncomfortable for the left foot to play double bass but i think ive seen enough pros to prove that its quite possible.

if you have a big drum platform or drum room then why not go
for the full 2 bass drum set-up. also if you play lots of double bass
a direct hit of the left pedal to a bass drum just feel so
darn sweet imo.

I don't play death metal, but I'm into the metal vibe: Angra, Symphony X, Rage etc...

My project with my guitarist is a power metal project, so yes quite a lot double bass is involved. My idea, if I go for the double bass set-up would be a Raymond Herrera type set-up (the old one).

Thanks for you help and advice, keep 'em coming friends!

C.J.

Yeah, I've got a slight preference for the Yam, because the brand's hardware is indestructible and has many choices availeble...
