GibraltarFußmaschine Gurtantrieb - Strap Double Pedal 4711ST-DB

been using a dw 4000 pedals for years and just upgraded to these. well worth the money, these pedals are so smooth and loads of adjustability. my double pedal skills have improved even after a day of using them, highly recommend.

Fantastic pedal brillisnt for heavy metal and metalcore very responsive and very quick too

Absolutely love this pedal. Its quick, it has lots of settings (could have an angle setting) and it looks epic!The only reason I have marked it down is that one of the beater tops popped off when I was playing it (third time I played it). I have glued it back on and its fine now. Its a bit of a design floor to be honest as the magnets that you can add to each beater to give the beaters more weight and therefore sound and attack are magnetised to the underside of the plate in the top of the beater. The sheer weight of the magnets and force from your foot pushes the magnets upwards into the top of the pedal causing the top plate to pop off. Hopefully the superglue I used will hold it in from now on. It may not actually happen on every pedal but its something to be aware of. Other than that it really is a superb semi-professional/professional pedal.

I've owned these for just over a year. There is already severe play in the u-joints of the shaft, and also in the bearing of the second beater on the main pedal. The second beater feels very loose and clunky when playing double bass...and I don't really play a lot of double bass either.This just reconfirms my decision to go with a more expensive, better built, pedal. You get what you pay for. This is not a bad pedal for someone just starting to learn double bass, but maybe not for someone wanting to hammer out 16th notes at 180bpm.
