Double Bass Drum
Which was the first band to use double bass drums(2-pedal bass drum)?
I LOVE the sound of this! A lot of Metal bands use this technique but what was the first band to do so? I know some bands had 2 drummers, but I mean one drummer with double pedal and two bass drum.
Rock-I would have to go with Ginger Baker (Cream), Keith Moon (The Who), Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) were all using double bass kits back in the 60's.
Jazz-Billy Cobham is the first one that comes to mind with double bass kit.

This increases the slick operation of the pedals and gives the Falcon a sensationally smooth feel. By allowing the torque-free spring mechanisms to move independently, the Falcon's stroke and recoil motions are exceptionally fluid, and feel more natural to your feet.Every feature and pedal adjustment has been engineered to make the Falcon feel as if it's an extension of your feet. Because the Mapex Falcon's footprint is more compact than other bass drum pedals, it's easy to comfortably position between your hi-hat and snare stands. The Falcon pedal's easy-to-reach, resistance-free Talon clamp adjustment tightens with one hand from a seated position, making set up quick and easy—even in the tightest spaces.The Mapex Falcon drum pedal's patented Talon bass drum hoop clamp features locking claws that move independently from the pedal frame. Even if the bass drum is pitched at a severe angle, the pedal remains flat to the floor and securely clamped to the drum for the utmost comfort and security.The Mapex Falcon is equipped with interchangeable cams to suit your individual style. The Glide cam offers an equal amount of inertia from the beginning to the end of the stroke, while the Pursuit cam is recommended for increased power and maximum impact. The reversible beater heads comes with interchangeable 0.35 oz. and 0.75 oz. inserts. By choosing one of these weights—or playing without any additional weight at all—you can choose your desired degree of centrifugal force.The Falcon's footboard design provides the feel of a longer board without the additional weight and mass. A lighter footboard provides greater control with less fatigue, and its uniquely sculpted profile allows you to position your feet at any angle and operate the pedals with minimal expended energy—making even the most intricate patterns seem effortless.The footboard angles and beater angles are independently adjustable, enabling you to fine-tune the ideal combination of playing comfort and force of stroke. The footboards and heel plates are hinged using an exclusive sealed-bearing mechanism that offers zero resistance and secure operation with no lateral movement. |

Trick Pro 1-v Double Bass Drum Pedal $739 The Trick Pro 1-V Detonator double pedal is in fact 2 fully functioning single pedals joined together as a double. The innovative design does away with the notorious sloppy action of standard slave pedals. By using two independent single pedals linked together with the advanced universal joint system, today's drummer can cover all the bases, in every possible playing scenario.The Trick Pro 1-V Detonator is an engineering marvel. It features innovative design elements, aerospace materials - titanium, billet aluminum, stainless and hardened steel - and is machined on the latest state of the art CNC equipment. These technical innovations result in one thing: A pedal that plays like no other.Compression Spring Technology The Pro 1-V Detonator utilizes an internally housed compression spring. Compression springs have the ability to cycle faster and utilize energy more efficiently. The benefit is a pedal that will react as fast as your foot. The compression spring works with the profiled cam follower to reduce the amount of spring tension build-up as the beater approaches the drum head; this gives you a more fluid stroke from beginning to end. Spring tension is adjustable while you're playing - simply turn the spring dial that is conveniently located within easy reach at the top of the main housing. Imagine no longer having to remove your pedal from the hoop to change tension settings.Independent Split-Cam System Because of the split-cam systems design, you can now change the attitude and attack of the pedal in seconds. Trick's fully independent split cam system allows the player to infinitely and independently adjust the beater from the drive cam angle with a 360-degree range of smooth yet solid settings. This system also allows for immediate conversion of the Pro 1-V Detonator into a cocktail kit pedal or a triggering pedal.Multi-Position Stroke Adjustment Cluster This three position cluster is an integral part of the sophisticated geometry at work on the Pro 1-V Detonator. It gives the player separate adjustments for the footboard angle, pedal action and throw. This feature is patent pending.Beaters Universally adjustable, the Pro 1-V Detonator Bass Drum Beaters can be easily moved to any height/angle along the titanium shafts within seconds by using a standard size drum key. This allows the beater to strike your desired location on any sized bass drum without radically affecting the overall pedal feel. Hard/Soft surface change-out options are also included with beaters.Footboard The Pro 1-V Detonator footboard is machined from solid billet aluminum that is rigorously fracture tested to 12,000 pounds per square inch. The footboard is attached to the heel plate using a pressed-fit hardened solid steel pin which is extremely reliable and durable.Base Plate - The Pro 1-V Detonator base plate is machined from solid billet aluminum. This provides the Pro 1-V Detonator with an ultra sturdy platform on which everything else is built. The base p |
