double kick
Two consecutive kicks
A double kick is a drumming technique using two rapid successive strikes with the bass drum pedal, or the hardware that enables it—either a single pedal played with quick foot movements or a double bass pedal system with two beaters.
The technique is fundamental to metal, punk, and other heavy genres: The song's double kick section is relentless.
In martial arts, a double kick delivers two kicks in quick succession.
