The right beater strikes when the footboard is pressed down, the left beater strikes when the footboard is released. It's as simple as that. No heel toe action no gimmicks. What If I Want To Play Singles? No problem. The Duallist features the Speedswitch system which allows switching between doubles and singles in an instant. The levers are positioned left and right of the heel so it is not necessary to remove your foot from the pedal at any time. Simply click the left lever with your heel to select singles and click the right lever with your heel, to select doubles. Can I Switch During A Song? Yes. There is no interruption to the pattern you are playing. The Duallist changes between single and double mode quickly and easily. Does The Left Beater Strike As Loud As The Right? Yes. It's all a matter of momentum. With any double pedal you will notice that momentum is a key element in creating double bass rhythms. When playing a conventional double pedal many drummers find it necessary to re-train their balance to be able to play both pedals and keep up the momentum. A common complaint when playing double bass patterns on either double bass drums or double pedal is that the leading foot strikes harder or louder than the other foot. However when playing The Duallist your balance is not affected, allowing you to play with a good momentum. The left beater of The Duallist mirrors the action of the right beater, so whatever momentum you create with the right beater the left beater will copy.
