When playing 16ths notes on any kind of double pedal set up the main importance is to keep up the momentum. On any bass pedal you will notice that by "bouncing" your foot somewhere around just below center of the footplate you can build up much faster and more accurately spaced beats, we will call this area of the footplate the "sweetspot". The foot moves a smaller distance but the overall leverage and force of the "swing" are not compromised because of the momentum you have gathered. It is a combination of this momentum, and the fact that a smaller foot movement leaves less space for error, that enables drummers to play fast and accurate 16ths.

The same principal is applied whilst playing The Duallist. By finding the "sweetspot" on the footboard you will be able to create 16ths notes simply by playing 8ths.

This is my preferred method of playing regardless of whether I am playing double bass drum or single bass drum patterns, however it is not necessary to adopt this technique as I have found that The Duallist can be played flat footed or heel up. Its simply a matter of preference.

Triplets can actually be played in a number of ways : just as you would with your hands. Some examples are RLR, LRL, LRR etc. - and would be played on The Duallist in movements of Down Up Down, Up Down Up, and Up Down Down, respectively.

By experimenting I have discovered that the last one of these (Up Down Down) simply requires your foot to play a fast double as you would on a conventional single pedal. What happens is that the upwards motion of your foot will create a beat before the double giving you three beats. i.e. effectively LRR. Add a snare drum for a killer ruff. A way to develop this is to allow the movement of the pedal to breathe. This triplet I have found so useful that I cannot list all the applications in which I now use it.

And experimentation also led me to discover many extremely useful rhythms which were previously unplayable. For example try playing a songo rhythm and experiment with its variations, as it is possible to develop flam techniques which sit really well with Latin rhythms.

Most importantly, play what you play - and get used to hearing what The Duallist does. This is the best way to discover how you as an individual can use this pedal.
