- Less weight on the bow.
- You can turn the hairs of the bow on their side slightly so not so much hair is touching the strings.

Would it be better to buy a double bass or a double bass pedal?
Both of them will get you to a similar point: being able to play bass drums with both feet. Advantages of a double bass pedal over two bass drums: lower cost, one less bass drum to move, one less drum to tune, and it keeps your kit smaller--very important if you play in bars with small stages. Two bass drums? They sound better--you can position the beaters for each drum so they play the sweet spots on the drums. You can mount four rack toms instead of just two. Two bass drums make the instrument look more imposing. And I've always wanted to try using two different-sized bass drums, so I could play bass lines with two different tones. That would sound cool. I've seen people build a double bass kit out of a standard kit and a fusion kit, which has smaller toms than does the standard kit. This also gives you a second snare, which you need onstage just in case you break your snare drum during a set.

Why did they make the double bass?
Because there was no other instrument that could handle notes that low, apart from the organ, until the double bass was made. It doesn't get the tune very much but it adds to the complete effect!! It also sounds nicer than the organs great whopping low notes!
