Playing Dance Dance Revolution!
Obviously there's nothing better than just practicing double bass, but I hadn't played DDR in a while, I played last night for a good hour, and today, on the kit, double bass felt just the slightest bit better.
It's cross training in a sense, DDR relies a lot on the muscles in your leg when moving quickly from arrow to arrow, building up some of the same muscles you'd use playing heel up.
It also is a great way to "put" rhythms in your feet. A lot of the more advanced songs have all kinds of weird patterns, as well as straight "runs", where you're pretty much running in place, which is a great trainer for metal style db 16ths. And it links your feet to the music, which translates into bass parts that fit the music more appropriately, you'll just "feel" it better.
Ah, and lest forget overall endurance. It'll improve the amount of time your legs will last, as well as increasing overall lung capacity and physical fitness, becuase it's one hell of a cardiovascular workout.
Run to your local arcade and try it out, it's hella fun, especially for musicians. Home option:

You can download that, buy a PS2 dance pad, and get a PS2 to USB converter, and download a billion songs to play for free at your house.
