I must confess that I don't know what a double surgeons knot is. The dropper i use is from the Bob McNally book of fishermen's knots. I simply tie an overhand loop in the leader with the tag end 5 or 7 times around. Then, while maintaining some tension on both ends, push the loop through the middle of the turns. Then pull both ends with about 1-2" of the loop sticking out. Hard to explain, I wish I could draw it. Check out the book if you can it's pretty helpful.

This may be a double surgeons knot!?!
