Hi!
I mostly play hard rock and metal drums. Bands that I listen to and play are mostly Metallica, Megadeth, Van Halen and A7X.
Long story short I have left hemiparesis which actually means that my left side of the body has less strenght and far less movement than the right side (especially left leg, my left arm is ok), that means that I don't have feel in my brain of some left leg joints and I can't have proper bass drum technique.
While I was in Amsterdam I was trying out pedals (I posted thread about this not so long ago) I tried out Speed Cobra 910 and it feels like heaven. I noticed that "double bass" parts I would play in the songs with that pedal I can play only with right foot.
So can I play modern metal drums with single kick and maybe develop my right foot to degree where I don't need left kick?
I mean we have single kick metal drummers like Nicko McBrain, Bill Ward, but they are old generation of metal drummers.
For example we have "Raining Blood" by Slayer where Lombardo plays rhythm with 16th double kick, but that rhythm can be played like single kick.
