Jay Weinberg of SLIPKNOT – Why I Prefer 2 Kick Drums

Being a drummer in a band the size of Slipknot, you get to have pretty much whatever you want, as long as the front of it has a Slipknot logo. In the below videos, drummer Jay Weinberg discusses (among other things) his preference for dual kick drums with single pedals. The interviews are peppered with some performances and shots of his kit.

Which do YOU prefer, and why?

I studied music on both coasts (Berklee and SSU) and now I'm just trying to put my degree to some use. That's a music degree, not an English one. I'm sure you noticed.
