For some reason I just can't do a fast double-bass using my current technique. I just recently started trying to learn heel toe and I think for me, that might be the way to go.
I'm trying to play Painkiller by Judas Priest. I can't go fast enough to play the faster notes by using single strokes. That's where I think I might benefit from heel toe. If I just sit on my drum throne or just a chair on a flat surface and "roll" my foot forward on the ground w/ no pedal, I can do the motion OK. Heel hits then ball of my foot, I can play the 'notes' on the floor a little faster than the song. I just need to transfer that method to my pedals. I currently kinda sloppy and too slow but, does this sound like a reasonable plan? I have watched tons of YT videos and this method seems easiest for me.
I have Pearl Eliminators - would other pedals help if I choose this technique?
