Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
This pedal fits within a performance and quick adjustment logic: a direct mechanism for control, with improvements designed for stability (tension lock, hoop clamp) and ergonomics (slim baseplate, accessible adjustments).
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
Ideal for intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a "connected" feel to the bass drum, with high playing precision. It is particularly suited for styles requiring clarity and speed (modern rock, metal, fusion, funk), while remaining comfortable in groove contexts thanks to its angle and tension adjustments.
Features and Innovations
The new bass drum hoop clamp system improves stability and repeatability of settings. The beater angle adjustment and adjustable footboard allow fine-tuning of the stroke, foot feel, and rebound, adapting the pedal to your technique (heel-up, heel-down, fast or powerful playing).
Sound
A Direct Drive transmission promotes a crisp attack and excellent nuance clarity: each stroke "launches" quickly, with a very direct control feel. The dual-surface beater enables modulation of the impact character, from a sharper attack to a rounder touch, depending on the side used and angle setting.
