History of the Drumset - Part 12, 1952 - Double Bass video free download
While it may seem like double bass is a new evolution in the 21st century, it can actually be traced back to Louie Bellson. Double Bass made its first big splash all the way back in the early '50s when Louie joined Duke Ellington's orchestra!
In this 15-part series, Vic Firth and Daniel Glass will be looking at 100 years of drumming evolution. Learn about the key events and advancements that shaped the drumset we know and love today!

Nowadays, Gibraltar/Kaman manufactures hi-hat towers optimized for double-bass-drum installations, and several drum manufacturers market clamps to attach the Gibraltar legless 'hat to a kick-drum batter hoop.9 years ago

MR BELLSON TOOK THE TWO BASS DRUMS TO ANOTHER LEVEL BUT HE WAS NOT THE FIRST TO PLAY THEM FOR YOUR INFORMATION MR. GLASS.10 years ago

I hate to have to correct you mr. glass, but you are totally totally wrong about who pioneered the two bass drum concept, let's give credit where credit is due, and please do some homework. ray mckinnley, with jimmy Dorsey played with two bass drums in the 40's, years before mr. bellson started playing them, try studying your drumming history a little more closely please.10 years ago
