Signature Music Pro Double Bass Drum Pedal New 7199 Review

Signature Music Pro Double Bass Drum Pedal New 7199

First, I have 2 real Problems here... 1 with Amazon. The 2nd with the Pedal I received.
Problem 1.) I went LOOKING for a Double Bass Pedal for my son's drum set. When I came across this one, I wanted to get more info. Because I was distracted, I accidentally clicked on the "fast order" bar and immediately received a message "Thanks for your order, your credit card has been billed and you item will ship immediately... Have a nice day!". No problem, I thought. I'll go to Amazon and cancel the order. WRONG!! You can't cancel orders listed in "Amazon Marketplace". Amazon is just a front for some fly-by-night outfit. I thought "OK... I'm stuck with it. Maybe it isn't so bad." WRONG AGAIN!!
Problem 2.) The Pedal is JUNK!. I'm a Manufacturing R&D Engineer of 20 years. I know how things are made and go together. Nothing, ... NOTHING in this pedal says Quality. Quality didn't even slow down here! The Sheet medal part are miss-drilled, the castings are warped not drilled & tapped true, every bushing had to be re-set by me, because of the piss poor rushed assemble, every screw and bolt was loose (some were cross threaded), the paint was peeling and even the mallet posts didn't have enough thread on them to keep the felt heads and washers from bouncing up and down. I have to get extra washers to keep it from clinking.
So, why didn't I send it back? I didn't catch that it would cost over $22.00 to ship it (most drum houses would ship for free!) and it would cost another $22.00 to return it. Re-sell it? I'm too honest to stick this junk on someone else. Do yourself a favor... LOOK at a BRAND NAME pedal and CHECK the SHIPPING CHARGE.

I'm a pretty experienced drummer but I never had this little set up so I thought I would buy it, try it out, and see what it would be like. Very happy with it, great quality, simple design and set up, and very easy to set up. Highly recommend it for a simple add-on.

Good for the money - good value. Heavy duty, has held up well for the month we have had them. The only thing wrong was the pads on one striker was not glued to the metal plate - easily remiedied though.

DW Drum Workshop 5000 Series Delta III Accelerator Double Bass Drum Pedal with Case Review

DW Drum Workshop 5000 Series Delta III Accelerator Double Bass Drum Pedal with Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was originally looking to purchase the new pearl demon pedal but as everybody on the planet knows we are in a recession and money is tight. 650 for the demon is a bit extravagant and fiscally unwise for me right now unless your Dennis Chambers and your recording with Santanna. The pedal is very smooth and built like a tank. I got this for live use at church services that at times lasts for hours and hours. right out of the case This pedal has executed flawlessly with little to no major adjustments. For the price and the quality DW has a made a wonderful durable pedal that will be with me for a long time. I love it! and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Dixon 911DB Bass Drum Pedal Review

Dixon 911DB Bass Drum Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't praise this pedal or this company enough. I have two kits, a 25 year old fusion set of Pearl Exports and a Mapex Saturn pro rock kit (John Bonham style). The Pearls I take on the road to practices and jams while the Mapex kit stays in the studio. I'm not gigging much anymore so I can't qualify myself as a professional drummer, but I've been playing rock, fusion, country, rockabilly and pop for 40 years at a semi-pro level. Initially, when it came time to buy a new pedal, I was going for a single, but when I saw the Dixon double, and compared prices, I went for the double. It's really a great deal, in some cases, by comparison to some single pedals, it's a two for the price of one deal. You may ask, why would a single pedal rock drummer who doesn't really play metal and who plays a mean high hat even want a double bass pedal? And that's a good question. The reason is that there are plenty of times when a single pedal drummer can get a certain sound or effect with a double bass pedal, whether it's playing the occasional quad riff or just ending a song with a sustained combination cymbal roll/bass roll. You don;t have to be a metal drummer to enjoy the fruits of the double bass pedal. Anyway, these pedals have a great response and they're smooth and quiet. They're built well and have all the necessary adjustments. More to the point, this is a company that stands by its products. ~seabgb

Gibraltar 9611DC-DB Dual Cam Drive-Double Pedal Review

Gibraltar 9611DC-DB Dual Cam Drive-Double Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased the Gibralter 9611DD-DB as a replacement to my broken DW 8002 pedal. Having been very dissapointed in a pedal that gave me nothing but problems throughout the two years I owned it, I decided I didn't want to take that risk again on a more expensive pedal so instead chose to purchase a more modestly priced one. I was looking for something reliable and solidly constructed, and the Gibralter Intruder seemed to fit that description based on the reviews. Immediately upon opening the box and puting the pedal together, it felt both lightweight but still nearly as sturdy as my DW. What was most impressive were how easy it was to adjust the spring tension, beater head angle and beater distance to the drum, and the footboard height. This was a huge improvement over my DW, and it was very easy to keep the two pedals symmetrical with each other. When I started playing I was expecting it to feel a bit awkward at first, but immediately the pedals felt more natural than I had every experienced. Speed, control, and power were all much improved. It was so fun to play, and I had never previously realized how much of a difference can be made by having the right pedal. I gave this pedal 5 stars based on the quality for the price paid. That's not to say it's completely flawless. Three things I did notice are 1. I can see how the construction might not be optimally designed if you play with your footboard really high. Jared Falk points this out on his video review of the direct drive version of this pedal and I can certainly see why. To me it's not really a problem though since I keep my footboard hight just slightly higher than mid range. 2. It's a tight squeeze getting the pedal onto the bass drum, even wenn fully loosened - but once it's on, it's very stable. and 3. I did notice that the slave pedal has a tendency to move a bit with heavy playing even when screwed in, whereas my DW slave pedal never moved on me even unscrewed. However, this was noticed in my carpeted rehearsal studio and so I hope it will not be a problem on my rug at shows, otherwise I will need to figure out some way to fix that. Overall, this pedal far exceeded my expectations. If I were offered a free pedal, I would choose this one over all of the more expensive double pedals I've played on including my DW 8000, the DW 5000, and the Tama Iron Cobra.

NEW DOUBLE KICK DRUM PEDAL - ADJUSTABLE Professional Review

NEW DOUBLE KICK DRUM PEDAL - ADJUSTABLE Professional
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Sure, this pedal looks nice and is very inexpensive. But remember what all drummers say when you buy kick pedals: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
When I got the pedal, it was in parts and very loose, so this was definitely not "new."
The very same day I started drumming with this bass pedal, the left slave pedal kept falling down. So when I tightened it even harder, it just stripped completely and is now rendered useless.
Its customization sucks. In order to adjust the angle of elevation, you must use brutal force to turn the pedal.
Also, there's NO velcro or carpet screws. You'll have to have super thick carpet in order to keep these from moving around.
Do NOT purchase this pedal. Go for a more expensive route like Iron Cobras or Pulse Pro.

I have owned a 5000, 5002 and now the 3002. I don't see much difference between the 3000 and 5000 and don't really feel much difference either. This is a great pedal for an amateur drummer who does not want to spend a ton of cash but wants the speed and feel of top notch equipment.

Gibraltar 9611DD-DB Direct Drive-Double Pedal Review

Gibraltar 9611DD-DB Direct Drive-Double Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Direct Drive is an excellent double base pedal for the price I paid. There is no hesitation and you can get up to really high speeds quickly. Other pedals, such as Pearl Demon Drive and Yamaha Twin Dragons, are twice to three times as much and they are the exact same pedal. Gibraltar it is a very sturdy and customizable pedal with a lot of features such as easy hoop mounting ( you can mount it while sitting on your throne). Also, it has rubber shoeing on the bottom so you can play it on a wooden floor. I thought about buying a cheaper brand, but then I figured I am going to want a higher quality double base pedal down the road, so why not spend the extra money now. It took me longer to save up for it, but it was well worth it.

This was my first double bass pedal. Its feels very sturdy and the response is good. I'm a freak when it comes to researching a product and this one didn't let me down. Ive played with inexpensive single bass pedals in the past and they feel cheap. This one "feels" more expensive. I'd purchase another.

DW Drum Workshop SM101 Two-Way Bass Drum Beater Review

DW Drum Workshop SM101 Two-Way Bass Drum Beater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Used this beater to replace a wood, ball beater I'd used for 20 years. Used it on a gig where drums were provided and loved the weight, sound, and especially the balance. I'm using the hard felt side of this reversible beater and it delivers a solid whack, with just enough high overtones to offer definition. The balance can be fine tuned via a memory lock-style collar on the beater shaft. The beater provides as much leverage as you'd like, but can be adjusted to also provide very quick feedback on doubles.

DW Drums 9000 Series Single Bass Drum Pedal with Bag Review

DW Drums 9000 Series Single Bass Drum Pedal with Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been a drummer for 20 years, and this by far is the best bass pedal I have ever played on. I owned the 5000 series double bass pedal for a long time. However, being that I really don't play double bass, I recently thought of going back to a signal bass pedal. As you probably know, a double bass pedal limits how close you can get your Hi-hat to your snare and I was getting tired of that limitation. So I pulled the trigger and went with the DW flagship 9000 series single pedal. This thing is a tank and a dream to play on. I also changed my 5000 series 2-leg Hi-hat to the 9000 series 3-leg Hi-hat. Love them both, kind of wish I had made this move years ago.

DW Drum Workshop SM102 Large Felt Bass Drum Beater Review

DW Drum Workshop SM102 Large Felt Bass Drum Beater
Average Reviews:

Ok I was NOT expecting this from DW...
The beater in the picture looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay smaller than the one I got. Don't get me wrong it's an amazing product if purchased alone. I got two of these for my Axis longboards cz I wasn't getting enough volume for its beaters. I blame DW for not providing a proper description for this product. They should at least mention that two of these WOULD NOT work on a double pedal. They would get stuck together because of the size.
Do not buy 2 of these if you have a double pedal.
