Why was the Bass Drum Pedal Invented

Ever wonder what drove Theodore and William into the shop to design their bass drum pedal?

Fred Astaire was no doubt an amazing performer.

I've seen that clip several time before and have enjoyed it each time.

I'm amazed that being, oh I don't know, 80-years old how good the sound is on the clip.
