For the price, this is a good value functional direct drive pedal. It doesn’t have all the adjustments on more expensive models, but does the job quite well, feeling responsive and immediate. Build quality is ok, but my pedal was a bit noisy when played. What spoiled it for me was that the front of the cam was in contact with the head when I clamped the pedal flush on the hoop.The only way to correct this was to clamp it further back on the hoop, but that meant I couldn’t guarantee a uniform set -up each time I set up my kick. I use an 18” kick, and whilst the front is raised a bit by the spurs, the kick batter is only slightly angled towards me.

Very good pedal
This pedal reminds me very much of the Speed King L..W.. pedal, very fast and responsive way of playing is possible. Good product ! Highly recommended

Pretty nice for the price!
This pedal is well built. Not a high end pedal, obviously but for what it costs, it is a good purchase.
The beater angle is easy to adjust as is its installment on the bass drum. The only downside, for me, is the spring tension. It is not, by any means, a major issue. At all but it is kind of tricky to get it right and will require some effort from your fingers.
Overall, I am pleased with this buy.

smooth, light action
I'm not a great fan of chain drive pedals. Started playing back in the 70s on a Premier kit with the old 250 pedal, which I loved, and wanted something similar when I came back to playing regularly a couple of years ago. This has something of that light feel, very quick and responsive, at a price way below most direct drive pedals. I am very pleased with it.

Best price for direct drive pedal
Tried this pedal and I'm not disappointed. I like to play mostly fast double bass metal and this pedal is one of the best for this. It is fast and has incredible bounce back so playing fast is actually easier. I also have the Tama Iron Cobra and I would say that this pedal is easier to hit. It is well built and fixes great on an electronic drum pad. The only 'downside' is that there is a bit of squeak but for me it's not a big deal. I would recommend this pedal if you want to give direct drive a try.

Very good one
This pedal is perfect for quality/Price worth. I prefer the chain (I have the other model too), and it's the same pedal, but this i think its a little bit faster, and powerfull. So I prefer the chain, because I control it better. But is a nice one, and nice price

Better than expected!
Great pedal. Half the price of my current ne, and twice as good! Lots of fine tuning controls, solidly built, a pleasure to use. I find it much less noisy tham my "chained" pedal. My only complaint is the lack of a manual... Not even an onlive version...

lacks a silent bearing
I tried the chain version, which was really, really good for its price. so I chose this chainless model thinking that it might at least as good as its chain version. but i was a bit dissapointed after i tried it. I found two major issues:
-it makes an awful noise when playing it on the E-drum, because the joint in the rod its not tight and jingles
-if i attach the pedal to the bass drum as id normally do, the metal piece touches the drumhead.
So my advice is to choose the chain pedal, which is really good

Amazing features for the price
This pedal is very reasonably priced for what you?re getting. the direct drive and smooth although it needs some getting used to, but the accurancy and dynamics of my kicks is so much better now.
It comes with a drum key holder and multiple ways to secure it so it doesnt move at all. I also found the supplied beater to be fine although if you are using it for recording you might want to get something better.
I honestly cannot think of anything bad to say about this product as it ticks all the boxes and more me, and is super cheap

value for a pedal of this standard
this pedal for the money is unbelievable I have tried other direct drive at £300 and over but think they are over priced. I use DW chain pedal for the last 30 years before that it was a old speed king for 20 year (yes old guy) was wanting back to be using direct drive so took a chance on this pedal absolutely amazing for the money definitely recommend this product feels substantial and well made smooth fast action well done thomann again I have also purchased a couple of Harley Benton guitars also equally great value
