ok well. lets say you wanna play a double on ur bass in 16th notes:
For the first stroke, your foot needs to be quite far down the pedal (i do this heel up).
use your toes and push down but as soon as u hit, u slide your foot up to the top of the pedal and hit again.
May sound useless, but the pedal is slanted upwards right? So if you slide your foot almost forward the second stroke will happen with out you doing much because you are still pushing the pedal down.
This technique may be harder to visualise than "heel-toe" but it is actually so much easier and smoother.
Don't know if thats a good explanation, but if u cant understand, il draw a picture or try do a little movie clip for you.
