I've long felt that I'd have more control using a heel action on a BD pedal. Strikes me from a physical perspective that this a more natural position/stroke. But I'd never been able to find one. My question is this: Has anyone ever used the Canon Twin effect pedal? I'm considering getting one and removing the beater utilizaing the standard forward/front-of-foot stroke and using the heel action beater only. Thanks, as ever.

Not too many years ago, Sonor made a heel and toe foot machine the size of a small SUV. Some of the earliest bass drum pedals were heel driven. They didn't stick around for very long.
No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

getting that feel in the tip of your foot is all about practice,
I had the same opinion when i started but aspecially with playing double bass at high speed i learned that playing with your tip gives more comfort!
but hey, give it a try and let us know if it works ;)
