Hey fellow dance musicians,
I was originally just going to write to Jeff Kaufman as I know he has
experience with lots of pedals but then I thought it might be a fun
discussion for the dance musician list. :)
I'm wondering if anyone knows what foot board the East Pointers are using
in this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17klDfqmLgk&ab_channel=SofarSounds
There's a good shot of it at 5:36.
Have you used something like this? Have you used something like this or
another drum-like approach? (Beyond a foot percussion board for
Quebecois-like rhythmic stuff.)
Any tips?
I'm looking for a relatively easy in to a foot board/drum sound.
Thanks!
Emily in Ottawa

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).
