A double bass drum pedal is used by drummers to play double bass drum patterns, also known as double kick or double pedal, with only one bass drum. It is an alternative to having two bass drums set up side by side. Double bass drumming is a technique used by drummers to increase speed and complexity in their drumming, particularly in heavy metal music. The double bass pedal consists of two beater mechanisms attached to a single bass drum, each with its own foot pedal. The beater mechanisms are usually adjustable in terms of angle and distance from the drum head to accommodate the drummer’s preferences and playing style. Some double bass pedals also feature a “scoop” or “longboard” design that moves the pedal further away from the drummer’s foot, allowing for smoother and faster playing.
