Wow, they actually made something worse than the dualist! Im sorry, but I would rather spend countless hours building up double bass chops than trying to find a shortcut.

That was actually designed with handicapped drummers in mind.

Oh! Well it'll work well for that. But of course it will attract beginners who want to get speed quick.

Dear Avenged
DrummerMom was wrong.....I invented the TwinSteele because there were lots of things I wanted to play that are impossible (for me) to EVER play on a conventional pedal. I could get into the music just fine, until I wanted to throw more than a note or two, then all of my concentration went into trying to get my foot right. Musically speaking, my pedal has set me free.

Try going to my website (Drumagination.com), go to the video page, look beyond the strangeness of my invention, and really listen to the notes that I'm able to play. Then get out your best pedal and try and duplicate it. I would be suprised if you can play anything on that page.

You mention double bass chops.....the truth is, you could be playing a note every time you raise a foot (if you want it), and doubling whatever speed you have. I only just recently started playing two pedals.....and it took me less than 10 minutes to learn to buzz roll with my feet. Can you think of a good reason to waste every upstroke?

You also mention the Duallist (which I have never tried)......that pedal automatically gives you a second note, wanted or not. On my pedal, you have to physically play every note, which lets you add notes or speed only when desired.

I have also been converting conventional pedals into upstroke-able machines, and I have pictures of a two-stroke Yamaha single and an Axis double-double that you may want to see.

Best regards, and happy drumming......

Well done to you friend. I did have a look at this a while ago, but couldn't quite figure it out. Now that I can see what you've done this looks very promissing. I've been interested for a while now in suplementing bass drums for electrics.

Well, I say I like it except it being electric and all. Not to be mean by any stretch, but like avenged said double bass peddle can rock that stuff too. I know for sure that a couple friends of mine can play the stuff in the vids Like the one "I can't play this... on any other pedal" isn't all that hard, not really fast. Also, hell toe, heel toe work on that if you want near double bass speed with a single pedal
Don't get me wrong cause it's cool and all, just, well a double bass setup/peddle would do for me, cheaper and less setup.

Very cool invention, I'm sure it's going to be pretty popular. Have you tried playing with two of them like a doublebass configuration?
