Tell us more:
What pedals? What kind of spring pressure are you using? How do you feel on your throne when playing? Balanced-unbalanced? Are you using shoes or sox? Tell us as much as you can. There's some really good players here, just need a little more info  Can you play slower than 200 OK? |

LOL. Don't feel bad, not many people can. IMO, I see no point to playing doulbes unless you're getting excellent clarity, and excellent volume out of them like Virgil does.

Most drummers use triggers, from death metal to rock n roll. From single bass players to doubles. Does anyone know of a death metal drummer that plays at those speeds and dont? I once heard an interview with Peter Criss who is a pocket drummer to the core and hits hard with one foot, he stated he only knew a handful of professional band drummers that didn't use them. He does. How about Derek Roddy. I could list them forever. I'm also not saying there's no place for non triggered drums. That's how I have played for as long as I can remember, Im just now getting into the trigger stuff. And for single or double bass I like them.
I've heard some say doubles aren't important, why in the world would someone not consider that important. Virgil is a pocket drummer as well as an advanced drummer, if Virgil or any other drummer plays them, they must have some importance. I guess if all you want to be is a pocket drummer that's your choice and it's not a bad one, but god gave you four limbs for a reason, use them and grow in your playing. Expand your horizons to learn. Start reading posts here, there's some really good ones. Dont give up and be a quitter, you have the desire, follow it. The satisfaction once you get it is incredible and only drives you to do better and better with much practice. Good luck Stefan |

maaaan! im sorry for leaving u the wrong impression of what i meant-i started this thread just because no one has written anything in here for a long time i dont have problem with my doubles-in fact some 3-4 weeks ago my double stroke roll with feet was faster and tighter than with hands cause i switched offically to traditional grip and although i ve been playing trad for a year now,i had to practice A LOT before reaching some endurance and control...however thanks for being so kind-this is one of the reasons i like this forum-cause there are so many nice guys like u Take care!
