1.) Do you guys balance your pedals? I went on the Derek Roddy forums and read something about balancing your pedals. I just wanted to know if that was a significant thing to do.

and...

2.) Is the flatfoot technique for actually playing double bass or just an exercise?

:smash: Sorry... I just like that icon.

when I first started double bass, I had to have my bass pedals and hihat all even..but after a while It doesn't matter all that much. If it bothers you alot to where its throwing you off I reccomend it, but keeping it the same requires alot of tweeking, because springs stretch and wear differently.
I don't think the flat foot technique is for playing, because its to train your thighs and calves. when in reality the best techinque would be utilizing your thighs calves and ankles......even though the calves control the anlkes?
