I don't think that is true. But so many drummers listen to music (metal) that is played with allot of double bass and they want to play what they hear. I don't play music like that and could easily do without it. I do use them for big endings and messing around. I think it is fun to sit in the pocket and just play groove through out the song and then if the song warrants it play a big ending and blow off a bit. It surprises some that I do have some chops, but I choose not to reveal them very often.
