They can be. It all depends on the circumstances you're in. If you're pedal settings and kick drum size / tuning are set to deliver a high acoustic sound and you're playing in a small venue with a few people in it you could get a decent volume. Now, if it's a bigger / larger venue or stage you will need to amplify / enhance the acoustic sound with at least one kick mic. If you're playing fast double bass say 250 and above, no matter how hard you try to hit the bass drum, the acoustic / mic sound will only pic a much lower volume due to the dynamics on that speed. This is where triggers come into play to track every stroke so it can be heard through your IEM's and the audience. Here's a what it can sound like without triggers on a 12 inch mesh head kick drum in a small room. ua-cam.com/video/Ijsa4_2N9Z4/v-deo.htmlsi=ysO1HPbwjN4mVBSh

@@user-yk8ot2yy4u Thanks man!! Appreciate the words.

Originally a TD-4 currently a TD-6v with pad and cymbal upgrades.

Yessir!

Que va! Haha. Saludos hermano 🤘🏻

Thanks man! Nice. It really comes down to how you tune them. Not taking away wood or material quality but, the bounce can vary between an acoustic and a mesh head. It's personal preference really.

@@A-P4C Thanks man! I appreciate the words. I was playing at 200 bpm.

@@GiancarloRaveloGarcia Nice man, thanks. I'm almost there I feel with the ankle technique as well close to 200. Don't know if you (or anyone else maybe) had this same experience but sometimes when I play just with the metronome I find it more difficult, but when I play to a song (with a click track as well) that's at let's say 200 I can pull it off no problem 😅. Really weird, haha.

@A-P4C Nice! Oh yeah. Been there done that haha. It's a strange feeling but, we got to keep pushing 🤘🏻😆

@@GiancarloRaveloGarcia Haha for sure, thanks again for taking the time to reply. Keep doin what you doin mate and all the best 🤘🏻!! Cheers from Croatia 🍻!!

@A-P4C Anytime mate!! Will do, all the best for you too!! Cheers from The Dominican Republic! 🤘🏻🍻

Thank you for the words man! I appreciate it. As per your description, the burn in your Tibialis comes from the tension / stiff motion created when lifting your right big toe due that these muscles / nerves / tendons are connected (mostly happens when you haven't warmed up well). It also happens when you use the ball of your foot more than your toes (this is also normal). The solution to this is to just relax ( I know it's not easy) but, literally. Just release the tension from your whole leg and try to push more with the ball of your foot and toes combined and do not twitch / squeeze / make a static movement when playing. Don't focus on speed, just make sure that burn / pain goes away. It might also take some time training your muscles to get used to the natural motion. You can also do some warm up exercises to get the blood flowing ( squats / stretches ) before your practice session.

@@GiancarloRaveloGarcia i salute your answer🙏 my heels is proximently high as yours, so i will continue relaxation as you mentioned. Getting there tho, but hard work needed indeed in this topic.

@JarvisDrummer666 Anytime man! Awesome. The more relaxed you get with time the easier it will feel. You got this! 🤘🏻

That is correct! I explained that in this video. ua-cam.com/video/Wc0j1BYEghs/v-deo.htmlsi=SzDcJEv8Tlz7lKEv Hope this helps! Cheers.

@@waltysalamander Thank you!

@@ryanmaxwelll2730 Triggers + PA No Mic.

Great! If it works for you, stick to that.

Gracias!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Gracias!! 🤘🏻

It's currently maxed. Have you tried lowering the tension to a 2/4 medium setting?

​@GiancarloRaveloGarcia the 2nd part is hard to do slower, the first part I'll miss a couple hits once in awhile. I'm using a strap drive with a yamaha dfp and heavier tama accu strike beaters ...hard to control for my intermediate level lol thanks though I'll mess around !

Yes, of course. It's the same technique with or without triggers.

Thanks man!

Glad I could help you end the frustration man! The best way to save energy, get power and control playing this technique is combining the right muscles for the best results. It almost translates to a "flat" foot technique but without the need of applying a static / twitching motion in your leg. Keep shredding! Cheers.

Been thinking on trying it at some point. I normally play Ankle Motion and practice those scales and notation with that technique instead of doubles. But, thanks for the tip!

Thank you! Ankle Motion is harder to learn for sure. It's also a technique that is high maintenance and requires constant practice.

Thanks man! I had extra max spring tension when I recorded this. They're still maxed atm but, not as much (there's a little hack to get more tension on these pedals). I recommend experimenting and practicing for at least two weeks with a loose, medium or maxed spring tension to see which one matches your body weight and works best for you.

You're welcome!

@@garryranara6040 It's not triggered. Triggers normally have more high pitch treble sounds than lower end bass definition (unless you tune the sounds in your trigger module that way). You're listening to the acoustic sound of felt beaters hit against a nylon patch on a kick drum mesh head.

Yup, it is!

It comes with time when you find the sweet spot on your pedal. I normally play either in the middle or top of the footboard right behind the direct drive link. Anything from 100 to 210 BPM the balls of my feet stay in the middle. If it's 220 and up I slide my foot forward a bit to feel less weight when pushing for higher tempos.

You're welcome! It's a bit of both of what you described. Glad you've cleared it up. Thank you for the words!

Maybe, if I learn how to "tap" on the drums I could achieve that "light touch" Let me go sit down and try it out. Thanks for the tip!

You have trigger curve settings and you can also trigger a real bass drum

Noted. Let's all stop playing doubles with our hands and stop sounding less musical 🎵👮🏻‍♂️

Thanks man! You can, just need to start practicing and you'll get it down 🙌🏻

@@GiancarloRaveloGarcia Thanks for your encouragement, I’ll try hard to get it.

@chuckc7375 You're welcome! Sending good vibes and double bass power your way 💪🏻🔥

@@MrSean5123 I've owned a DW 7000 and it's definitely not the same once you switch to Direct Drive. Two different worlds!

*Nostalgia kicks in*

You're welcome!! Glad it contributes to you guy's practice. Haha, indeed. I mainly focus more on power than speed to develop solid strokes. Thanks again for the words!!

Finally a pov of ankle technique thank you ghis helps a lot

@@MLC7957 You're welcome!! Glad it has been helpful.

Thank you! Maybe you skipped the part where I said to go to this video for detailed performance: How to Master the Ankle Technique for Double Bass ua-cam.com/video/Wc0j1BYEghs/v-deo.html You're answer should be there. Thanks again! ☺️

Thank you!!!

Thanks man!

You're welcome! The spring tension can be set for your body weight by playing on three settings, loose, medium or max tension. If your body reacts better with any, stick to that setting for at least 2 weeks to get used to that tension. As far as "Pedal height" I assume you're referring to the footboard height? If so. You can set the height to the middle position. Not too high not too low and see how it works for you.

Thank you for sharing your concern. Here are two videos I made with some tips and recommendations to eliminate the twitching motion (which does not allow your ankle to move freely due to the tension you produce on your whole leg). This is common when you're not used to activating / deactivating the muscle groups you need to use to play the Ankle Technique. Hope this helps!

Noted! Fear Factory has a ton of complex Double Bass Patterns that can be challenging for sure haha.

I appreciate the words. Thank you for subscribing!

You're welcome!

Indeed, they are. Thank you for the words!

Thanks dude! All sounds and tones are coming from the module. Just did some tuning 😄

Gracias man! Ya van unos años en esto. Trato de mantener la practica haha. Saludos.

Thanks dude!

I'm self taught. I just, loved drums and started playing on a pillow with two sticks from a hanger and, here I am. Starting is not always the hard part 🫂

You're welcome man! If the EQ is good and the sound engineer sets the correct parameters, you're able to get a decent sound our of the Kick drum mic up to certain tempos ( 150-160 and maybe 170 tops) However, the down side is that it if the venue / stage is big with a huge crowd it wouldn't work as much or when playing faster tempos. If you have the option to throw a trigger this will amplify the sound to play double bass patterns (from 180 to 200 BPM and above) louder and will cut through much more in a live setting.

Originally a TD-4. Did some recent upgrades.
