Double bass

Double bass

2003-02-20 by abhyankaranand <anand@fastmail.fm>

Hi,

I have a DTXpress II set and want to expand it to have double bass.

Any recommendations for a non-expensive double bass pedals.

Also, I was toying with the idea of buying a KD7 trigger with a 
single pedal and chaining it into the Yamaha kick tower. Has anyone 
tried this? Does it work well?

Has anyone used the Pintech ergokick? howz that one?

Thanks,
Anand

Quick and dirty double-kick trick: Make the hi-hat pedal close sound as a
kick and then set the default hi-hat sound to a closed hat w/a velocity
cross-fade so a harder strike makes an open hat sound. I know this has
many drawbacks, but the best part is the total cost is $0.00 and you can
practice double kick licks!! ;)
