Correct way of kicking the bass drum is the heel should not be touching the pedal. Your sole of your feet should be projected to around 30-45 acute degree towards the pedal.
To give a good bass hit, kick the bass hard and confidently, and do not let go of the pedal until before you are going to kick the next time. Let the kick slammed and stick to the bass skin. With this method, there will be no pale kicks (a loud kick, follow by a few fade away kicks)

And as for fast kicking (using one leg to do x2, x4 times faster), it takes sometime to practice. Similar to your hand + wrist movement. If you move your hand without wrist movement to play a x2 faster beat, your hand (arm) needs to move x2 to match it. But by adding wrist into action, arm needs to move x1, and wrist x1 (not so tiring).
Apply this to the bass drum kicking. Your leg move, and your ankle move as well, then you will be able to do fast bass kick without needing to use double pedals. No shortcut, it is a painful training...

no i mean quarter note triplet on the kick

with eighth note on the hi hat?

i know its very weird combination thats why asking..

Bro

I believe that you can't really say that there is a wrong technique, and I believe that many people here will agree. Many professional drummers, use both, or even more techniques for different applications.

From a thread on DW, George Kollias thread:

Heel down:
Great balance
Speed (cause your ankle is not "locked")

Heel up:
Power
Control


Besides that, you also have heel toe, the ankle technique and so on. Different drummers swear by different techniques. Personally, I use both, for different applications. And the truth is, we're all different

Anyway, I feel that sure, with a single kick you can do 140-160bpm and so on, yes. But why push it when you can use double kicks?

Probably you are right. But for me personally, heel down really could not give a good kick because there is a feeling of not enough power in the kick.. (Not in a good position to deliver a good kick). But again, that is for me.. I do not know about others.. But I am sure that most of you guys here use Heel up..

By the way, i can do around 220+ bpm using a single kick

Videos or it never happened AHAHAHAHA!

My first drum teacher, when I was six or so, was a very jazzy player, so from there, I started with the heel down technique. I feel it gives more dynamics

Hmm.. Why it is not possible??
It is kicking 220+ times in 1 minutes (60 second), around 4 kicks / sec.

If got chance for a gathering with a drum set, then maybe I will show u live. (Lolz)
But my weakness is my left side of my limbs only. My left hand, left leg all cacat (but not noob    )..Just cannot be as dominant as right hand and leg.

220+ 16th notes or 8th?? 16th then you're GOd

Even if 8th notes you're still awesome... to do it on one foot

Kick 4 times in a sec sounds doable... but try doing it consistently for 1 min.. unless youre doing it only for 1 sec

Yea, of course can hang for more than 1 minute. Can go with that for a song or 2
But usually this kind of kicking is played on Metal songs, or they call it blast beat...

Usually my songs do not need blast beat...and it is not metal..

Respect

You're my idol now. Hope you will be around to help me in my drum journey

Haha..
Or maybe double pedals is to enable even faster kicks?
