double bass has it so when you are doing like sixteenths the other bass rings a little longer cause its not dampened from the other beater. but i dont really care about it.
20 years ago, i would have two basses but double pedals are soo good now its just your preference.
i do shows, and i can barley fit one bass let alone two, and two would get in the way of my tom placement, and would push my high hat out more so i would take a double, but if i got endorsed i wouldnt mind a double bass set.

in the real world, i'd definitely go with double pedals. i'd rather carry about a somewhat small case o' pedals than a not so small... bass drum. i'd also rather not take the time to make sure both drums are always in tune with each other so it doesn't sound off when you play both them together.

in the fantasy world where i have a team of roadies and drum techs at my beck and call to do all of this for me, heck... i'll take 4 bass drums.
