Heel up and heel down

I used to play heel down cuz it was faster that playing heel up. I realized like a month ago that i have to do something cuz my feet get real tired after playing heel down so i switched to heel up. what do you think is better to do?It feels like im learning double bass all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its easier for me to play heel up. If you play heel up you can have more power to your kick and you can play double bass faster and longer.

Heel up, but I have my heel real low so I can heel toe (which I am learning to do at the moment)

Yeah, the heel toe aint that easy, im learning it too, but hopefully my stamina and speed will increase. Before I always did it heel up, can be tricky to get used to...

btw, anyone seen that Tim Waterson video where he explains how to do it?

i really hate to play bass with heel down cause it makes my foot really tired.
but with heel up i can play much better with double bass and faster and longer. and my foot wont even get tired. (it needs practising)
