Yeah it never hurts to know how to play double, especially to build up a resume, unless you just drum for the fun of it (but don't we all?...) It's just fun to throw in a triplet or a sextuplet in the middle of the beat. Anyone who denies the coolness of that is insane lol. But it can definitely be overused. I like what Vinnie Paul said in a Modern Drummer interview. I'm not going to repeat the quote cuz I'm lazy.
And for the post right before mine, shouldn't that be it's own thread?...But in response, you'll obviously need a stand for each large cymbal (crash, ride). But they also make small hardware to attach to bass drums for small cymbals like splashes. Before I got an extension arm for my 8" Zildjian on my bass drum, I just flipped the splash upside down and put it one of my crashes. So if you are short on cash that's a good way to spare some hardware. It made a cool effect (the splash seemed a bit sloshier and ringy cuz of the crash it was on) so I want to maybe add a 10" or something to my crash again...wow this was a long post.
