[Musicians] Re: Question about drum/stomp pedal for contra bands???

Looks like the video has a tambourine under on the left foot and a Wild Dog <https://www.wilddogstomp.com/> stomp box under their right, I think the Dingo <https://www.wilddogstomp.com/product/dingo-stomp-box/>. Stomp boxes are a nice way of getting a kick-like thumpy sound with much less hassle than a traditional kick bass drum. A lot of them are analog (some sort of shell around a piezo) though I think I've seen Nova <https://www.novatriomusic.com/> playing with a digital one (Roland SPD::ONE <https://www.guitarcenter.com/Roland/SPDONE-Kick-Pad-1500000073775.gc?cntry=us&source=4WWRWXGP> ?) I've tried a few different ones in my playing and ended up using beaterless kick pedals <https://www.guitarcenter.com/Yamaha/KU100-Beaterless-Silent-Kick-Unit-1372692950998.gc> with the brain <https://reverb.com/item/66867428-yamaha-dtx500-electronic-drum-module-puente-hills-ca> from an electronic drum kit. One thing I really like about this setup is I can change how the drums sound depending on what I'm doing (traditional vs electronic) and I can even send the signal to a little computer and play bass with them. If you're getting started, I think the main question is what direction you want to go? If you just want a thumpy kick sort of sound, tapping your foot, a simple stomp box (maybe something like the Meinl <https://www.guitarcenter.com/MEINL/Percussion-Analog-Stomp-Box-1500000318964.gc>) is good. If you want to play drumkit with your feet, then I'd recommend either something like the Farmer Footdrum <https://www.footdrums.com/about-footdrum/> (analog) or patching together beaterless kicks and an old electronic drum brain like I do (or see Mezerg <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-rlFaSBLg8> for a higher-end setup).
