Double Kick Pedals for Electronic Drums – What You Need to Know

When it comes to building a powerful and dynamic electronic drum kit, few upgrades make as much of a difference as a double bass pedal. Whether you play metal, rock, or fusion, having a responsive and reliable double kick pedal opens up new creative possibilities and improves control, speed, and performance

Why Use a Double Pedal with eDrums

Double bass pedals aren’t just for acoustic drums. Today’s electronic drum pads and kick towers are designed to handle fast, powerful strokes with excellent triggering accuracy

Using a double pedal with your eDrum kit allows you to

– Play faster and more aggressive patterns
– Use both feet to balance your rhythm and fills
– Train your weaker foot for better independence
– Replicate acoustic double kick feel on a quiet kit

As long as your drum module supports double triggering and your kick pad is wide or sensitive enough, you can use most double pedals with ease

Is This Pedal Compatible with My Kick Pad?

Most modern eDrum kick pads are compatible with double pedals, especially if the pad is wide enough to accommodate two beaters

We recommend pairing the V-Drive pedal with sturdy kick pads or towers such as those from Roland, Alesis, ATV or our Phantom series

Make sure your module supports quick triggering and that sensitivity is set correctly in your settings. Many drummers find that adjusting the trigger threshold and scan time helps fine-tune double strokes

Benefits of Direct Drive vs Chain Drive on eDrums

Direct drive systems like the Phantom™ V-Drive provide faster response with minimal lag
They offer a tighter feel that’s great for advanced double-bass playing
Chain drives are more flexible and feel looser, but may lose some energy transfer on fast strokes
Direct drive is often preferred by eDrummers who need consistent speed and power without mechanical delay
