DRUM PEDALS

Bass drum pedal mechanisms – that’s a broad topic! Have you ever heard drummers talking gear backstage at a festival or a huge festival? Once they have said all there was to say about snare drums and cymbals (if that’s at all possible), they immediately start discussing bass drum pedals. This pedal is too light, that one too heavy. Rubbish! All you need to do is calibrate it the right way! – says a firm believer in the company at hand. The Sonor Jojo Mayer signature pedal is like this, the Mapex Falcon is like that. DW 9000 is way better than DW 5000. Or was it the other way round? When buying a Pearl, should it be the Demon or the good old Eliminator? Yamaha Flying Dragon ain’t that bad either. Tama Iron Cobra or the Speed Cobra with a spring? Maybe some speed racing stuff from Axisa or Czarcie Kopyto? Them guys from Ahead ain’t so dumb either. Let’s see what we can do to make this topic slightly more user-friendly for beatit.tv viewers.
