Hi Raptorbyt,

Welcome to the drums!

Are you saying that you do not have a single bass drum right now? or that you are thinking of adding another bassdrum?

If you already own a single bass drum you can always buy a double pedal (most death metal drummers and the like use these while touring. I use pearl eliminators) mainly because yes, two bass drums look neat, but it's a pain to lug around, plus it's another head you have to tune and replace.

You also can begin doing paradiddles between the hi-hat and bass drum to get your left foot working up to your right. If you are looking to be a double bass drummer I can't emphasize enough to practice rudiments with your feet. I know it's hard and annoying and boring, but you will shine over the rest of the guys who "just want to be fast" - speed will come, and it takes awhile.

And this is a personal thing, I do not like paiste, I feel they are overpriced and have witnessed their so called quality fail multiple times.

Have fun
