Double Bass Drum Set

Drumming double bass takes good technique. When you have developed your talent, some drummers like to find a better double bass pedal, or in this case, a new double bass drum set.

Playing double bass can be done in two ways. You can either choose from using two bass drums or one bass drum with a double bass pedal.

For those who are interested in playing a double bass drum set, I have found and listed some of my recommendations for a top beginner double bass set.

Easy on the pocket, Popular drum sets with double bass

You can take these drum set titles that are bolded and go to your local music store or online music store type it in and find them.

First recommendation is the Pearl Forum Double Bass Drum Set.

Pearl is a very popular and very well known drum set brand. They always give quality in their hardware and shells. This set is an 8 piece drum set, quite bigger than their average set!

**NOTE: When you see the words 6 piece, 7 piece, 9 piece drum set etc, it is counting all of the tom toms, the bass, as well as the snare. It does not count the cymbals. In this case this set has 3 tom toms, 2 floor toms, 2 bass, and 1 snare. Two bass drums is why it is called ''double bass.''

*Another Note: A standard set is called a 5 piece set. So if you think you might need more drum parts, specify this at the online music store you go to. In this case you can definitely see you are getting more with this 8 piece because it comes with 8 pieces instead of just 5 or 6. A standard sized drum set is usually a five piece.

Another popular but an even cheaper choice is the Sound Percussion Pro series. This is a great starter set.

The hardware on this set is upgraded with its stands, pedals and throne which is what you will need if you're thinking about doing some heavy drumming.The hardware on cheap drum sets can't really stand up to that kind of beating, at least not for long.

This next one is great, it's called Tama Imperialstar. It has strong double braced hardware. Good tone and good quality hardware is what you will need especially if you will be using your set in a band and playing live. Good drum cymbals are important to. They matter if you will be rocking out live!

Tips About Learning Double Bass

The awesomeness of a double bass drum set is all in your foot pedal technique! You can have a great looking set and suck at the way you play. It is important that you do not execute bass patterns in a live performance that you HAVE NOT YET MASTERED in practice, that goes with anything you do on the drums pretty much.

When you do something on the set you want it to sound sweet because it's your reputation! It's not only about you as a drummer and how you sound, but also how it sounds in the band as a whole! So make it smooth and not as if your fumbling through trying to keep up!
