For those who have a double pedal or double bass setup and sometimes use them to play the classic double bass shuffle, do you lead with left or right foot?
I don't believe this forum allows me to post a poll, so please answer "left" or "right" in your reply.
I find that it's much more natural for me to lead a double bass shuffle with my left foot. I think it's just from years of conditioning playing quarter or eighth notes with my left foot on the hi-hat and the offbeats with my right foot on the bass drum. I don't lead with my left foot for any other double bass patterns, just shuffles. For sixteenths or "quads," I lead with my right foot.
Curious what others are doing.
