Ok - so I just found out that I can't quite get bass drum rolls at 127 BPM. I'm trying to do:
ss, bd, tom tom, bd, tom tom, bd, floor tom, bd, floor tom, bd, tom tom, bd, ss (2 beats each, with a double bass beat inbetween.)
It seemed inevitable, but now I'm considering a double bass drum pedal (I had not even considered this because of the price). I also wanted to really master a single pedal. I am struggling on the slide technique, which appears to be a pretty efficient techniqe for quick bd beats.
So please tell if you've had any regrets from making that switch from single to double.
I don't really play much metal that might require a double pedal, but I do see myself incorporating it into rolls and licks. I play mostly alternative rock, christian rock, and some Breakin Benjamin.
