How to use double bass in a sentence?
I (listened) to the orchestra with the maestro (Mehta) many times as a child, when I was a student, I learned from the musicians in the orchestra. They were my teachers for chamber music (and) double bass.
Drummers can have the effect of two bass drums by having a pedal which is double where you only have one and the mechanism will play as if it's a double bass drum. It's similar to that in a way, i think because the drummer's not directly controlling it from his brain - although it looks like might be able to do that in the future, which has its own complications - it would for me be an add-on to a kit so I could trigger a sample or a different instrument. The basic drum kit is great. Two hands are okay and when I'm producing and there's other drummers playing I get them to play with one hand because I think drums with one hand sounds better in many ways.
