What technique does Mike use for playing double bass? How does Mike have the pedals set up?
MP: I always lead with my right, I only play single strokes and I like my pedals tensioned loose. I’ve found that if the pedals are too tight, they move too much and then I have trouble controlling them. When their loose, I do the work, but I also keep them under control. I play with my heels up and with my toes digging into the pedal board. My foot floats on the pedal board.
