I have been playing drums for over thirty years. I have always played single bass. I bought a new set about 2 years ago and got a double bass pedal with it. I just can't get it. I practice and practice and just cannot get speed. I am not really looking for technique advice or what pedal might be better (although some would be ok), I really just want to hear a sucess story! Anyone out there over 40 that learned to get those blazing feet I hear on the current metal stuff? I also play guitar and belive the same thing is true. All the speed stuff is developed early, between ages 10-20. I have had several friends pick up a guitar after the age of 25 and they never develop speed. I am no faster on guitar or drums than I was 25 years ago. I am better, just not faster. Somebody out there tell me they started to shred (hands and feet) after the age of thirty!
