Re: dbl peddal vs. dbl bass drums
A lot of good points have been made for each case. I prefer double bass hands down. So much so that I hunted down a second bass drum for my vintage Premier kit. I think the extra "burden" of having a second bass drum to haul is more than worth it for the comfort and symmetry of a double bass kit. I've actually had more luck with hi-hat stands paired with double bass drums (and an attachment arm) as opposed to a double pedal.
Now if I was just using it for accents and fills instead of intricate beats and machine gunning, I might just use a quality double pedal and deal with it slightly being off and having the kit off center.
