I play double bass using the heal up technique. I wanted to take my speed to next level, so I thought I'd try the heal-toe method, but my feet are too damn big. My toes can be all the way up the pedal and my heal just hits the very back that sits on the floor.

What should I do? Are there other techniques? Do they make pedals for guys with big feet?

There's only so much I can do with heal up, because I have big ole legs too!

Get comfy and practice fast with precision.

That's it.
