This thread is dedicated to the Off-Set double bass pedal, since no thread has been created for it!
I came across this pedal several months ago, and I have to say that I'm very pleased with it! The two beaters are in the middle instead of on the right (or left), allowing the drummer to sit squarely in the middle behind his kit, as if he (actually, or she) had two bass drums.
I just published an article at my web site where I interviewed the creator of the Off-Set double bass pedal, Charles Fisher. I think you'll find it very interesting. In addition, there's a link in the interview pointing to an all-out review of the pedals themselves. All in all, a very informative couple of articles that will get you thinking that there are other options besides the typically configured double pedal. (Incidentally, in the aforementioned review, there's information regarding the Off-Set single pedal as well, for those who insist on using a single pedal, but still having the benefits of sitting with perfect balance behind the kit.)
So, below is the link to the interview. Don't forget to read the review of the pedals also! Leave comments here and there, especially if you have them, or if you're considering them. Enjoy!
