Caught the show in Philly tonight - awesome time. Bobby had a foot switch hooked up so it would trigger a bass drum and he was keeping the beat by tapping while playing acoustic. Just thought that is a really cool idea for playing solo and helping to keep a driving beat going. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set something like this up?

Do a google search for "acoustic stomp box" and you will see a bunch of these.
If he has moved to true bass drum trigger he would likely be using either a. drum machine with a footsiwtch or b. midi triggered sample.
