I played a gig at halloween dressed as a Jedi, with some big Jedi boots. I'm afraid the bass was a little sloppy ;-)
Converse all-stars, because of how thin they are, its like a barefoot, with a thing of rubber on the bottom, I just keep that on my pedal and its smooth sailing
socks...until I get some smaller shoes with thinner soles...cause all I have now are my Adios...and those aren't so good for drumming...
The egg approves!
bare feet or socks. i gotta be able to feel the pedals
I really wish that we could actually show the pictures in here...
Yeah! I've got a favourite pair of Converse that I call my drum-shoes. I haven't gigged in anything for the past 4 years (by god but those shoes stink ... and they're held together with gaff tape).Originally Posted by Ch33zz

Tennis Shoes, comfortable, airy, not a lot of grip, allows for some slip-age

I'm like SabianDrummer. I wear my Etnies! I have tried playing barefoot but I never really have enough control over my pedals.
