It's a double kick pedal plus a hihat stand. You just slide your foot over to engage the double pedal function ... then slide it back to work the hihat stand. Kind of cool actually, but I've never played on one ... yet.  |

I've never played on either, but it seems like it would be kind of hard to keep switching it back and forth in a song...
I guess it could be useful in some situations but why not just get a double pedal?

i have tried one, and honestly, i was in awe. it worked REALLY smoothly. switching it feels like a detent in the middle. nice smooth hat action "chunk" nice smooth kick action. it was really easy, but just stiff enough to keep from happening accidentally. i cant play double kick for s*** so its not for me, but if i did id be tempted.
how it works is with two pulls. one for the hat, one for the kick. and the footboard has a rod on the end that can slide into either pull. the wings arent part of the mechanism, they just give your foot something to push against.

I have played this and plan on buying one. Unless you do a lot of hi-hat and left foot bass drum at the same time (a la Carter Beauford), it really isn't a problem. I like it mainly because I don't like my hi-hat so far to the left. I have devised a way to thread the link arm of my DW5002 through the swivel base of my current hi-hat stand and actually have my left foot bass pedal to the left of my hi-hat pedal, but it puts a considerable amount of pressure against the hi-hat stand. Plus the Mapex pedal is pretty smooth, and offers less stuff to carry, which is always a bonus in our business  |

The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them, we will become bound by their limitation. Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.

Hmmm... I'm pretty picky about where I place my hi-hat, so unless the distance between the two pedals can be adjusted, this would be a problem.
But I like the concept, and I have been wanting to get into double-kick. Thanks for the link and the photo; I'll have to look into this.

I still don't understand how you can switch from using the hi hat to the double kick. What do you have to do and is it hard?

you move your foot a few inches to the right for kick, to the left for hat. and its about as hard as moving your foot from side to side a few inches  read my post again and check out the pic. not sure i can explain it any better. |

ok, the footpedal has a piece on each side, so when you push to the left or right your foot never comes off the pedal, it sits in a groove so you can feel when the shift is complete, it works well, I played one in a drumcircle a few weeks back, unless you are one of those players who likes to hit the hat's along with the pedals this is pretty cool.
I hope I cleared things up, because I just confused myself. lol.
