Erik/Jorm-Question about electronic drums. I swear this has nothing to do with the Rev
So I may be buying an electric drum set because I want to pick up drums but my parents don't like a whole lot of noise. If the set originally comes with a single bass pedal can I get a double bass pedal like you can on normal drums?

What would stop you? Lol.
If there's a Bass Drum, then you can put a double pedal on it.
thanks
what is the reason for having two bass drums instead of one with a double pedal?
So basically if you do it you'd have four hits going on, 2 on each foot?
Only difference is, since the drum head is large, it will vibrate and shake a little bit more. However, this really doesn't make much difference at all, really.
The hardware is what really makes a difference. The beater of the second pedal is connected to the actual pedal by a pole sort of contraption:
This means that there is obviously going to be a bit more resistance, and less free swinging than with the normal, primary pedal. That is why using two bass drums, with two individual pedals is a bit more preferrable, because it is more even, unless you have an awesome double bass pedal.
I don't know a whole lot about electronic ones =/
I think you can MAYBE do it on this kit, but it's $7,000 lol.

Also, good luck trying to blast on an electronic kit if you ever get that far on Drums. Electronic Drum kit's rebound is horrible compared to an acoustic set. And like, for blasting, I tighten the shit out of my snare so I get the highest possible rebound, but....you can't do that on an electronic kit.
Yes you can get a double pedal on electric kits and I suggest you get this pedal

one of the best that's out there now. you can change it to short board or long board and the response on it is AMAZING!
Now for electric kits. if you want one you are going to have to shell out some big money. I mean in the thousands for a very good one. If you are willing to do that then go for it. I suggest this kit since it looks like a real drum kit.

But if you just want a simple kit and nothing fancy then go with this one.

"So what are digital controller modules? Are those like drum triggers?"
you talking about a drum module? its like the core of your electric kit. it puts out the sounds and stuff when you hit it. it pretty much comes standard with all electric kits. its basically "the brain" of the kit. very important and you need it.
lol
I saw a $389 yoki on ebay
