gift for a drummer

Sign in to disble this ad
My friend's graduation party is coming up in june and he's been wanting one of those bass (drum) pedals that hit twice with one step.
If you know what I'm talking about, could you tell me what would be a good reliable brand?

Thanks!

It's like a double bass pedal but it does it with one foot. Like, you hit it, it hits once on the down, then it hits again when you pull your foot up.
And yes it's cheating. lol

There are other pedals that operate 2 beaters from a single pedal. Here are some links:

The Sonor Giant Step is the one I have heard of... although it looks like Musicians Friend says it's discontinued. However it may still be available elsewhere.

This second one is looks like a much less expensive variation on the same idea.
