Just Starting to Use Double Kick
19th March
I have always wanted to add double kick into my playing but never had two Bass drums or a double kick pedal. Just recently the singer in my band gave me his old DW double kick pedal. I’m just starting to integrate it into my playing . It’s going to take many years before I feel comfortable with it and able to play live using double kick. Up until now I have only used one pedal and most of the music I play doesn’t need the double kick, But I have always enjoyed the power and complexity it adds to drumming. i hope to continue learning and developing this into my performance. In the video I’m adding simple patterns on the kick to get started. Fun Stuff!
