This is a direct-drive single pedal, with a solid cast link between the rocker shaft and the footboard. Direct-drives push the footboard back on rebound, giving the pedal a quicker response. Many drummers that play heel-down prefer the feel of a direct drive. There are adjustments for beater angle, footboard angle, and spring tension on this pedal and the pedal frame has a stabilizer bar cast into it below the rocker shaft to eliminate flex, keep the bearings in alignment, and give the pedal a smooth feel.
A teardrop-shaped hole in the beater hub securely holds the beater shaft and keeps it from spinning. Included is a double-sided beater that is felt on one side, and hard plastic on the other. The side-adjustable hoop clamp holds firmly to your kick drum hoop, and tightens with a wing bolt. Transport is easy with the included hard-sided soft case.
Impressive right out of the box. The first thing that you notice is a very nice pedal case. On to the pedal- extremely well built. Fast. Quiet. Adjustments are straightforward and easy. The pedal feels good under the foot and will transfer whatever your foot is doing to the drumhead. The beater is ok; probably could be better and have balancing weights but, I use a different beater so, it's a non issue with me. Great price for a pedal of this quality.
