but joking aside- this sucks. the riveted joints cannot be tightened if that's what they are, and I would have to rip off the rubber joint sleeves/ gaskets. anyone have exp with this brand? anyone care to share exp, opinions or...

I think Bermuda might be able to chime in on this. I know Ludwig has 3 lines of "pro" hardware (not incuding the stands that come with the Accent or Backbeat stuff). The Atlas Standard, The Atlas Pro and the Atlas Classic (flat base). In addition to the Speed King, I noticed that Ludwig has an Atlas Standard Pedal and a Speed Flyer Pedal, and that's it. The Atlas Pro pedals are pictured with the Atlas Pro Hardware but there is no information available on them. These were the...

I know one is a long board and the other a split. Also, I know that the Yamaha is independently adjustable with the footboard and beater angle, and the demon is not.

About two inches from the head the pedal gets stiff so trying to get really fast speeds out of them when the resistance jumps up sucks. Some people recommended Axis sonic hammers to solve the problems but for the money I don't want to add on workarounds.

I do have a millennium pd-223, which plays quite good for me.

But i have a problem with the left pedal board slipping on top of the drumcarpet on which its placed on while me playing the pedal.

I tried to fix this by placing the stand of a cymbal directly behind it, to prevent it from moving but this doesnt work that well.

I am thinking of fixing this problem by mounting carpet tape on the carpet and underneath the pedal board, but honestly i have no idea wether this will work...

I was wondering how some of the other direct drives from other companies stack up against the big boys. Like the Gibraltar G class direct drive, or the Mapex falcon direct drive for example. Do any of these second tier direct drive pedals even come close to the big dogs?]]> 11 Dw 9000 Vs iron cobra 900, which is better?

Thanks!

I also saw many on Ebay.
Basically they are pedals like axis, trick, etc. But I think they are only generic Chinese models, they make me very curious since they are around 400 dollars, so they have no competition in terms of price, but I have not been able to find any type of review on the internet.

The company (GP Percussion) is sending me a whole new pedal, but honestly it might be better to just updgrade it so he doesn’t become discouraged from playing by a pedal that very well might be continually unworkable.

It appear that the junior sets doesn’t sell pedals individually, so I don’t think I could get a kick pedal...

As the title suggests, i'm looking for recommendation for a double kick pedal not from the known companies.
For example- Gdrums, Odery, Gewa, Marshall Natal Arcadia, AB drums...
That is, as they are sold at a relatively low price compared to the known companies (dw 5000/9000 in particular).

A) Can you guys recommend specific models from the brands mentioned?
B) If not, would appreciate recommendations for a good price-quality ratio.
