Why cant Lars Ulrich use his double bass as good as he used to?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well to know the real answer you would have to ask him. However a few likely explanations is that he is getting older, does not practise enough and that he was never really able to play as well as the drumming on the albums. Much can be done in a studio and Flemming Rasmussen(the producer of ...and justice for all, among others) is rumoured to have said "the recording of ...and justice for all would have taken 3 months less if Lars Ulrich could play the drums"

1/4 size - It measures 37.4 inches and is the smallest of the double bass. This is the size that's recommended for children. 1/2 size - It measures 40.2 inches and will be suitable for older children to adults who are around five feet four inches in height. 3/4 size - It measures 43.7 inches and is the size most commonly used by musicians. 4/4 size - It measures 45.7 inches and is the largest size of the double bass. Few players are capable of playing this size but some claim that it sounds better than the smaller double bass.

If you want to play the double bass, the first factor you must consider is how tall you are. Yes, your height matters when it comes to the double bass. The taller you are or the bigger your frame, the more easily you can handle playing the double bass. Generally, the size of the double bass that is commonly used is 3/4. Here are the different sizes of the double bass based on its body height (measurement from bottom to shoulder). Note that these are only approximate measurements.
