I play heel down for slower bass patterns and heel-up when i'm doing a lot of fast doubles or triples.

I play heel up most of the time, but occasionally do the "heel toe" thing to get ridiculous amounts of licks in, lol. I have 2 DW 5000 double pedals...an older one on my practice kit, and a 5000 Delta II on my DW kit.
im not too good at the whole heel-toe thing. i can do it, but not really fast cuz i almost never pracetice it. I probably should. I really like Heel up, because heel down is actually slower for me, and its quiter. I use Pearl Powershifters, and i freakin love em. theyre fast as hell, and are extremly durable. only $150, too!

dude, try out Pearls, instead of ICs. theyre cheaper, more durable, and quicker. Nuthin against Tama, but ive played on ICs, and they were great but I like my Powershifters.Originally Posted by Metal-head
His ICs cost him $300, and my powershifters cost me $150 brand new, and are faster!

I play Heel-Up,And I use a Tama Iron Cobra Double Pedal...
I play double bass heel up all the time, when I'm playing not double bass just heel down
I have a DW 5000 turbo double pedal
yea i did i tried the heel-toe thing and thought it was uncomfortable but i play mostly heel up but i've learned how to play heel-down too for jazz and blues and acoustic stuff if i have to.....i've got DW 9000s/5000s/7000s
GOD + Me= Awsome Drummer!
heel up for me but my feet are almost flat on the pedal rather than inclined at an angle...
i like the flat foot method. ware you heals up but parralel with the floor. i mostly like it because i have a pair of vintage gibrlter pedals that are rusted to hell and back so there hard to play fast but the flat foot gives me more power and makes my legs more comphy.
play till the day i die. it makes more sense that way.
