Re: Playing with shoes on...
I usually wear shoes.
My running shoes usually...
But, even though that is my preference, sometimes, I'll play bare sock.
When I did a showcase a couple of months ago, I was playing on a brand new kit... the pedals were pretty foreign to me. I tried it out for a minute... and found that bare sock on that pedal felt better.
About 5 years ago, I used to play in a gritty rock "biker" type band.... back then, I used to play with Snap-on workboots. (Snap-on is a brand name if any one isn't familliar with it)
They were pretty heavy, but after months of playing with them on I was pretty used to it. I could play pretty fast double bass, although not as fast as without and it certainly took more energy... stamina would have benefitted if I had played with shoes on...
Memories....
No more work boots though. Honest.
