masaya ako with my Mapex Birch M 6-pc. I love the hardware too. I just thought that expanding my kit would be a good idea. Now, I think getting an extra kick and pedal would cost me just as much as a double pedal, and it would be much cheaper pa than getting a DW double or darn Axis.

I am not a serious drummer but I do a lot of studio work. What would be a better choice?

Siguro sir, if you're a gigging drummer, I'd recommend double peds.

If not, a double bass drum setup is said to feel more natural, and it offers higher customizability with regards to sound and pedal feel.

I've also read that if you are using triggers on your kick, it would be better to do 2 separate bass drums than going the double pedal route...

Kasya man. Medyo kailangan lang irearrange ang studio. Actually sinukat ko, puwede lagyan ng double kick kasi idle space yung gilid ng amps. Yun nga lang mukha nang lata ng sardinas yung tracking room ko pag ganun...

mas madali nga po ang double pedals...pero mukhang astig pag naka dobol bass

Ralph_Petrucci · « **Reply #110 on:** September 29, 2007, 06:46:44 PM »

Mas Madali mag dobol bass. kasi sa dobol bass, direct ung force galing sa paa

unlike sa dobol peds, dadaan muna ung lakas sa "rod" or propeller. kaya mjo mawawalan ng lakas.

ayun. . .

hehe

ui, xa na drummer ng sticker happwet. haha

maganda sana double bass kasi mas solid ung attack...sabi nga ni george kollias ata un ung drummer ng nile sa interview...problem lang with double pedals eh ung kapag sa pagattack ng isang beater dun sa drumhead, di pa nakakapagbounce back ung drumhead pabalik, biglang aattack ung isang beater...so mejo nakakalessen daw ata yun ng "ooomph" ng bass hehe..

underprog · « **Reply #113 on:** January 20, 2008, 09:25:04 PM »

syempre double bass... mas astig kasi eh... d lang siguro comportable dahil pag lilipat kana sa hi-hat medyo may distansya... hndi ko palang na try yung double bass eh...

nakatry na ako ng double bass.. mas ok talaga xa pag dating sa tugtugan... pero since sa mga gigs eh palipat lipat ng bar.. id settle for d-peds paren..

inexplain ni simon phillips dati yung diff ng double peds sa double bass nung nagclinic sya d2 sa hk. ang explanation nya eh kung tumutugtug ka ng 16th note mas free ang resonance ng bass heads pag double bass compare sa double pedal kasi your actually playing 8th notes on each drum heads. ang concept kasi ng heads eh parang tubig sa timba. pag isang timba lang parang masyado "naoovercrowded" yung ripple kompara sa 2. same din sa bass heads yun. mas nakaktravel ng maluwag yung vibration nung heads ng double bass. pero depende rin sa tugtugan and user preference.

nararamdaman ko to pag nag-flaflam sa double peds, aside sa usual fast double bass patterns. mas masarap siguro kung naka double bass, kaso sayang lang at hindi practical mag double bass sa pilipinas...

double pedal parin mas madali at mas simple... pag sikat na sikat siguro at madaming pera double bass. hehehe

barabbas · « **Reply #119 on:** April 30, 2008, 12:40:37 PM »

May i ask some question? what is the purpose of this poll? is it for GAS related or tone... if tone pipiliin ko yung double bass dahil mas solid yung attack, tone and punch.. concentrated yung each pedal sa isang bass drumheads. hindi nya pinapatay kagad yung resonation ng bass drum. kaya sa states mas panalo sa kanila ang double bass.. But it depends on the music that you play... pero kung sa pagtitipid naman ang pipiliin ko syempre double peds nalang ako. dahil mas handy sya... saka practical.... i vote for double bass dahil sa tone ako naka base. but i dont have double bass eh... magastos... hehehehe

For me, here are the advantages of a double bass setup:

1. If you like blasting, double bass has a better feel because you are dealing with 2 different skins for each beater. Hence, the response is more felt with that setup.
2. Triggers would love a double-bass setup than that of a double pedal setup.
3. Resonance! The room all of a sudden has richer overtones, because you hear 2 bass drums resonating instead of just one.
4. Looks. (Relative though.) I guess Tommy Lee has the best 32" and 40" kicks available in double bass.

dobol beys ako mga tol. true mahirap iset up, mahirap itono at masakit sa singit kasi nakabukaka kang talaga. pero rakistang rakista sa entablado. pis mga bro.

achaka · « **Reply #123 on:** May 07, 2008, 11:55:59 PM »

depende siguro.

para sa mga ma-recording (and may home recording studio) mas okay double bass.

pero sa mga ma-gig, double peds.

tranquildomain · « **Reply #124 on:** May 08, 2008, 08:13:25 PM »

Kung para sa bahay lang double bass..

mas prefer ko ang doube bass setup kasi hindi mo talaga mapapantay ang tunog ng isang kick drum kung double pedal gamit mo, siyempre iba parin feel ng double bass setup

tapos nung nag switch ako sa double bass mas okay talga feel, may limitation kasi ang distance ng double pedal dahil sa extension rod niya

Which do you prefer?
