I recently got a Pearl Powershifter something or other, its great, and ive been drumming for about 5 years now, so im not a total pedal retard.

Anyone got any techniques to improve my double bass pedaling? I mean its coming along nicely, but anyone got anything i can do every day to make it better?

Cheers

Try and do some single pedal drumming but use the left pedal until you can do everything that you can do with your left foot with your right foot. If your left footed just reverse it.

Hope that helped!

YOu can find plenty on this topic immediately by using the search function. Double pedaling is the single most popular topic on the Technique board.

metronom on 50 bpm.
100 hits with heel up then 100 hits with heel down. then 100 heel toe!
(first right leg then left, and then both)
then increase metronom speed by 5 bpm and make 10 squats;)...
