I've known drummers either put their drums on some sort of mat or use bricks to keep their drums from sliding around, so I suppose it's just not because of extreme volume vibrating everything. It does make for good rock and roll lore, though. :P

The bass drum moves forward from the pedal striking, and pushing it forward. Hi-hats can move away as the pedal on it is used also.

Yeah, I figured that was the case. I imagine some heavy hitting drummers probably accelerated the process. :P

Yeah,...... and there was a little thing called a "Ghost Pedal". It was a very powerful bass drum pedal, and super fast functioning also.

Is it like one of those double beater pedals, where you could play double bass drums?

No, this one pedal covered a single bass drum. It didn't work on a chain connection. It was more of a rotating cam. Lighting fast, and damn near never failed like chain link pedals did.

I wonder if John Bonham had one of those? I remember watching "The Song Remains The Same" on DVD, and I could swear he was playing double bass with just one pedal and bass drum, especially on some jam like during "Dazed And Confused."

He may have used the double connected pedal for the double bass drums. That would free his left foot for his high hat pedal.

I have no clue. They had those pedals in the 60's/70's?

I don't remember when the twin bass drum pedal emerged. The Ghost Pedal though, was the best of the bunch.
The one draw back to the Double Bass Drum Pedal, both mallets would strike the bass heads simultaneously, not allowing the double bass drums to do their constant individual strikes.

I remember playing with a few drummers that used those, but I don't remember that much about them, as far as their function goes. You know what's really funny, I actually know a lot about drums, even though I don't play them. Maybe it's because I'm a bassist and have hung around drummers as part of the rhythm section. I know what Gibraltar Hardware is, and Zildjian cymbals are, for example. I guess my gear nerdness goes beyond bass and guitar crap. :P

I have a good drummer friend that's still living. He's the guy that bought Whaley's Rogers set. The hardware for drums can be a world of it's own. Most of the drum brands in the US, were standard size. The exception to that was Premier. They were from the UK. Keith Moon used Premier, so his drum heads were all metric in size. Metric, and Standard size heads didn't interphase, and weren't always that available in every local music shop back when. Image

Yeah, I think we're about the only country that doesn't use metric, if I'm not wrong.

Darn close to it, if not right on about that Paul.

Yeah, I don't even remember them even teaching it in school. It's not really a bad system, since it's based in the incriminates of 10, but I'm not great with converting it. I do know 28 grams is an ounce, at least. That's from using my food scale, which has all of the measurements on it.
