I dont play double bass, but i have this weird urge to know how fast people can go.
so how fast can you go? can you specify in BPS and 16th notes or 8th notes:icon_wink:

lol, well right know I am only at about 100-120 bps, pretty slow I know, but hey practice makes perfect and the more I practice the faster I will get.
I want to get a double bass soon
Sweet one of those Vex ones, right ddrumbum? ;)
yayaa
Yea baby, I love my vex pedal, it is awesome in my opinion.
120 beats per second sounds pretty damn fast to me lolQuote:

any of you heard of the device for double bass users that attaches to a hi hat? it changes the mechanics so that when you press down the pedal the hat goes up. danny carey uses one
At 16ths @ about 160bpm at the moment.
Increasing speed from there is really hard for me. I think I need some new/better pedals. I've been learning on a crappy Sonic Drive pedal. I'm probably still looking towards the Iron Cobra pedal.

Ya that would be pretty incredible, I must admit. Give yourself some more credit ddrumbum
LOL
Typo maybe? haha
How do you measure your BPM? I'm thinking id be pretty high up there if i stuck it out at my fastest hits for a minute
I think people have confused how you're meant to measure your speed. You don't measure how many hits you can play per minute, you measure the tempo that you can play comfortably at, and note the subdivision.
32ndHeartbeat's 210bpm isn't much because he didn't specify a note value. If he was playing quarters, he'd only be playing 210bpm. But if he was playing 8ths he'd be playing 420 notes in one minute.
Seriously guys, saying tempos doesn't mean anything unless you specify a note value. It's a pet hate of mine when drummers go "I can play 300bpm", I probably could too, if I was playing a straight quarter rock feel.
