Hey Markis and welcome to the board!!! I know double pedals can be hard for some and easy for others, but what I have found to help me was using rudiments and practicing independent exercises for hours on end. I stunk when I first got the pedals, but when I sat down and really put a lot of time into it, it paid off.
For info on using them, try our links here and look at the instructional stuff. I know you will find some good exercises that will help ya. Good luck Bro and welcome to Drum Chat!!!:icon_mrgreen: :clap:
Cheers for that and thanks for the warm welcome.
when i first got my double pedal and even now still to this day I tap my feet back and forth anytime im sitting down pretty much....just prac LRLRLR and as u get tighter go a little faster...just like prac with ur hands..and then once u can do simple LRLRLR with ur feet then start prac other rudiments...just like with ur hands...good luck
First start very slowly with a beat(set a tempo something like 1800)..you have to be very attentive about timing and pressure
