I find myself switching back and forth between heel up, and heel down. I use heel up when I really want the bass drum to stand out and be heard, but most of the time (I play in church in a relatively small sanctuary) I'm trying to play soft, and I find it easier for me to play softer using the heal down technique. I'm also findling out that heel up seems to work better when I'm trying to play really fast. Anyone else out there switch back and forth? I'm relatively new to this, should I stick to one way or the other?
