Double bass drum pedals are primarily used to create fast and intricate bass drum rhythms. These pedals consist of two footboards linked by a connecting rod, allowing drummers to play rapid double strokes or continuous bass drum beats. They are a staple in genres such as metal and rock but are increasingly used in pop and fusion styles. Double pedals enhance foot independence, enabling drummers to perform patterns and fills that would be impossible with a single pedal.
The key difference between chain-driven and direct-drive double pedals lies in how power is transferred from the footboard to the beater. Chain-drive pedals use a chain (or belt) to create a flexible, slightly responsive feel, offering a smoother and more controlled rebound. In contrast, direct-drive pedals feature a solid metal linkage, ensuring an immediate response and faster speed. While chain-drive pedals are favored for their adjustability and classic feel, direct-drive pedals are preferred for their precision and consistency—ideal for fast, technical playing.
Several brands stand out for their innovation and quality in double bass pedals. Among the most popular are Pearl, Tama, DW (Drum Workshop), and Fame. Pearl pedals are known for their durability and balance between control and speed, making them ideal for all skill levels. Tama’s Iron Cobra series is a favorite among drummers seeking fast, precise response and versatility. DW dominates the professional market with premium pedals built for unmatched stability and craftsmanship. Most high-end brands now offer direct-drive models designed for extreme speed and accuracy. Our best-seller, the Fame DFP 9001 Double Pedal, delivers professional-grade performance at an unbeatable price.
