Kozo Suganuma "Transcendental technique using feet" Double Bass & Footwork '92
From "Two Bass & Footwork" released by Rittor Music, Inc. in 1992. A single-pedal playing method that has caused many ripples in the world of drummers!! lol
I would like to introduce some rare playing styles. When you play double bass, you usually use this closed hi-hat to hit the rhythm. But if you can't buy it, use a normal hi-hat instead. This technique is called "heel and toe" and you step on the foot pedal with your heel with the hi-hat closed. Let's do it.

I would like to do "toe and heel" which is the opposite of "heel and toe". You put your toe on the bass drum pedal and play the hi-hat pedal on your heel. It is also possible to close the hi-hat with your foot while playing the bass drum.

Next is when you want to open and close the hi-hat while playing double bass. Let's try to open and close it by hand with your feet playing.

Here's how to play if you want to play double bass or double pedal, but you can't buy them. It's an epoch-making idea to play like using double bass with one pedal. Let's do it.
