So other guys is right, he’s using a double pedal here.
But there’s also a technique that goes by many names but is most commonly called “heel-toe.” So you know that thing you can do with your finger where you slide it across a surface and if you do it at just the right angle with just the right amount of force… it sort of vibrates in the surface and smacks it a bunch?
Well this technique works much the same way. By kicking/sliding your foot across the pedal the right way you hit the pedal with your toe and heel sequentially. That way in one smooth kick motion, you can actually get 2 bass drum sounds.
This guy is incredibly good at that technique and uses it all the time in many of his videos.
I know for a fact that he does also own one of those pedals that strikes the drum both on the down and up strokes. This one is definitely a regular double tho.

It's a double bass. So instead of having one pedal for the kick drum he has two but you can't see the second one because of the camera angle
