How to NOT use a real bass drum pedal
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2026 12:43 pm
I want to play fast doubles on the bass drum but I find it "aesthetically unsightly" to use a bass drum pedal: I have no drums, I want no gear.
I asked myself: how can I "pretend" the rebound of the pedal just as we pretend the rebound of the drum head by tapping the stick end into the hand for double stroke rolls? So I got a spring from a sofa to get my foot back quickly
