		The bass drum was sometimes kicked to produce a sound, and is occasionally still called a ''kick drum'', though bass drums are now nearly always pedal-operated, and sometimes even played with two pedals to allow for greater speed.
		In a drum kit, the bass drum is much smaller, most commonly 20" or 22" but sizes from 18" to 24" are quite normal, 26" is not unusual in a big band, and extremes both larger and smaller are sometimes seen.
		Originally two identically tuned bass drums were used for this, but a double beater (twin-pedal) on the same drum using an extension mechanism (see illustration) is now more common, although in a live show nearly all metal bands use two bass drums, as the effect is much more impressive.
