This is one technique I use when playing fast doubles on a single bass drum pedal. I am using a direct drive Raptor single bass drum pedal by Mapex.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! After hours of trying to grasp the subtle but essential second movement, you explain it so well that I finally was able to do it on the first try (sloppy at first but still). That's a whole new level that you helped me unlocked . TY again :D

I see my problem now. I need to upgrade my shoes.

The sweet spot is the area or position on the footboard where the foot feels most neutral for that particular technique. The pedal and set-up along with different techniques will determine where the sweet spots is. Remember no one technique is better than another. The trick is to learn many techniques and determine which of those work best for you and your drumming.
