You can actually go back a little bit further on that, and go to a guy named Robb Reiner from the Canadian band Anvil, or "Filthy Animal" Taylor from Motorhead. It is arguable between one of those two as to who was the one to create and/or first use the double kickdrum pedal, which would be used commonly in the double bass/kickdrum sound like you'd hear in songs like One by Metallica, Painkiller by Judas Priest, or <insert any genre of metal band here>. That started around 1981/1982, which kicked off a lot for adding more and more pedals, especially when everyone only just had the pedal for the single kickdrum and the pedal to close the high hat.
BL.
You are going back with those two bands... Anvil and Motorhead! I think the first time I heard that style of playing with double bass was Motorhead... Blew my mind and the rest is pretty much history!
