I know what its like to be shunted into one style or another. As the saying goes, if ya don't use it, ya lose it. Fortunately though, ROCK is so driving that its just a matter of filling the phrases instead of the mechanical stuff.
I like your double bass stuff Don! When did you start using this setup, and are you using a single pedal with two beaters? I bet having those HH's on the right side of the kit adds as well.
