Yamaha FP720 Belt Drive Single Bass Drum Pedal w/Longboard

While modern pedals often look like they were designed by aerospace engineers, the FP720 is a throwback to an era where feel was everything. Known affectionately by pros as the "belt-drive king," this pedal offers a whip-like response that feels like an organic extension of your foot.

Why it’s a Modern Classic:

• The Famous Long-Board Design: The smooth, foot-friendly casting provides a massive sweet spot. Whether you're playing heel-up power strokes or intricate heel-toe doubles, the real estate on this board is unmatched.

• The Nylon Belt Drive: This is the secret sauce. Unlike chains that can feel "heavy" or "clunky," the high-strength nylon strap provides a silent, frictionless pull. It delivers a linear response—exactly what you put in is exactly what you get out.

• The "Fold-Away" Magic: The FP720 features a unique, collapsible frame design. It folds down into a compact profile in seconds, making it the ultimate companion for the gigging drummer who values a light hardware bag.

• Horizontal Frame Support: Despite its slim profile, the horizontal bar at the base ensures the pedal stays anchored and rigid, preventing the "sway" often found in other lightweight vintage designs.
