Tell me about it...I actually considering going to the doctor for the ulcer. Because I actually might have one. (having lots of reflux recently)

On a side note I'm currently experiencing something weird:

As you might know thanks to your post I got the DW5000 for 80 bucks at best buy. Well, I've started using Jared Falk's videos on heel toe technique. I've been practicing the technique with both feet and I noticed the following:
The Slave pedal is not as responsive as the main pedal. I've tried the technique with BOTH feet on BOTH pedals and is definitively easier on the MAIN pedal no matter what feet I use. I'm right handed.
I tried adjusting the tension and that helped a bit, but it still feels weird.

I would like to know from more experienced double pedal users if that's a common thing in double bass pedals and it's due to the obvious mechanical reasons that are going on in a double pedal.

If that's the case then it's ALSO a good point for comparing double bass versus double pedal.

I use a PDP Pedal and love it, i ran into the same problem with the left pedal having to much resistance but after putting some lythium grease on the drive and loosening the strings its wonderful and ihave been playing on it for years now still running strong, now keep in mind i dont play speed metal i play rock/grunge so it works for me

A trigger is a sensor that attaches to a drum or cymbal. When the drum is hit, the trigger sends a signal to a module that decides what sound should be applied to that hit. The advantage is you can change sounds almost instantly and the sounds can be edited to work well for fast double bass (or anything else) where a regular drum sound turns to mud because of the sustain from the heads and shell.

Most consist of a transducer(loosely speaking: device that transforms one type of energy into another) called piezoelectric that takes vibrations and converts them into electricity.
