Should I get a double bass pedal, or should I wait longer?
I played percussion in the school band for a year, after about 6 months of playing on a drum kit. But then I moved, and it was almost two years before I picked up drums again. I took almost four months of more drum lessons, and picked it back up again easily. I can do a lot of basic beats and have gotten good with incorporating the whole kit, not just kick drum, snare, and hi hat. I can do fills, and I know a lot of different drumming techniques. I even know an After the Burial song (Aspiration) but I don’t have a double bass pedal, so I had to use my low tom for it. But I really want to get a double bass pedal and start working with that. Do you think I am ready? I know I still have some things to explore with just one bass pedal, but I’m really excited about getting another pedal…and I don’t want to just keep doing beat after beat, I want to practice getting my feet moving more.
Am I ready?
Thanks.
I don’t see why not, you sound like you have a good enough command of the drumset you have that you can start getting your feet moving more.
And by the way, if you get another drumset, stick with the double bass pedal…it is much easier than dealing with two bass drums.

Wet Nitrous Kit vs Dry Nitrous Kit
Wet Nitrous Kit vs Dry Nitrous Kit
There are two main types of Nitrous Systems that are used to produce more horsepower in both cars and trucks. There is the dry nitrous kit and the wet nitrous kit. We receive many emails from our customers asking what the difference is between the two nitrous systems, which nitrous system will produce the most horsepower and torque, and which nitrous system is best for them. We will explore the differences between the dry nitrous system and the wet nitrous system so you can decide which kit is best for you.
Dry Nitrous Kit
The typical dry nitrous kit is one of the most simple nitrous kits available. The kit is called a dry nitrous kit because it injects only nitrous into the engine, and not fuel. Generally, the dry nitrous kit is for people who want a set that allows them to let the ECU or computer automatically add appropriate amounts of fuel to compensate for the added nitrous into the motor. Usually you can get away with a dry nitrous system if you are confident in your car or truck automatically compensating fuel, you have a larger fuel system, or have a way of ensuring there is adequate fuel when the nitrous gets injected.
Wet Nitrous Kit
The typical wet nitrous kit is only of the more popular nitrous kits amongst enthusiasts. The wet nitrous kit injects both nitrous and fuel into the engine at the same time. As with the dry nitrous kit, you still need to have enough fuel in your fuel system for the wet nitrous system to be able to use while the nitrous is being injected. You can setup an external fuel pump specifically for this kit, so when the nitrous is activated, the fuel will come with the external fuel pump, bypassing the stock fuel system. This is a more elaborate wet nitrous system, but can be one of the most reliable setups.
So which kit is better?
There are different theories on which nitrous kit is better, but really it depends on what you want, your current setup, and your budget. We have recommended, and will continue to recommend wet nitrous kits. With a proper setup, you can enjoy nitrous shots of 100 horsepower and more, reliably. Always ensure your motor is capable of holding the extra power.
