I've seen some discussion about using a remote hi-hat with a cocktail drum, but have any of you tried using a twin-beater foot pedal? The mechanics seem simple enough but the balancing act to play both pedals might be downright frightening.....

Twin pedals?

What about using a dualist or Vruk type pedal that lets you play double bass with one pedal?
I know someone on the list does a double pedal...I forget who.
It's crazy how people are really expanding what cocktail sets are about. I can't decide if I'm a purist who wants to keep it minimal, or if I'm going to add electronics and go into a new frontier. I'm kind of thinking of adding a timpani for my new band--I guess in that respect, the benefit of the cocktail set is that it would give me room to bring along a timpani.
I'm also kind of thinking of occasionally using my cocktail set as a conventional bass drum. Maybe not.
