Quadruple Bass Pedal? - Tuesday, September 19, 2006 4:22 PM

I was thinking, if you can make a single pedal into a double pedal, can't you then make a double pedal into a quadruple pedal?
Use two of these, in the same set-up as a usuall double pedal. But of course, each pedal is double.

Be very interesting

Sorry, just realised this has been brought up before

There was a video of something like this posted before where someone had the "quadruple" bass pedal set up you mentioned, but it sounded pretty bad since it was triggered. I think that that wouldn't have much use besides playing blast beats or making it easier to play Hot For Teacher.

They're assuming you'd change your technique, I'm sure.

I think that song is really a song of "feel..."

No point in writing it out really unless you're Thomas Lang and you can play ridiculiously random sounding double bass patterns exactly...

Show in that context, I could really see using a Dualist in many different fashions. I originally thought it was a great way to cheat, but now I'm seeing a different frame of reference. Loved the jazz work he did at the end.
