im a left handed drummer too.
the general rule with double pedals is that they do NOT switch from right to left.
most pedal companies have lefty models. i owned pacific (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pacific-Drums-by-DW-DP402L-Double-Pedal-Left?sku=152203) lefty pedals for more than 4 years before buying my new lefty tama (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Tama-HP900PTWL-Double-Pedal-Left?sku=440057) iron cobra pedals.
check musicians friend (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigation?q=left+pedal&st=). they have a pretty good selection. i went to my local store and played on the tama iron cobra and dw 5000 righty pedals to decide then ordered them online.
how much are you wanting to spend?

Like he said, everybody makes one so it shouldn't be a problem. Any store will order it for you. You cant walk out of the store with one, thats true.

pedals are the only exclusively right handed thing on the drum market... so after this your in the clear.
it does suck how there is never a good lefty setup anywhere. the guys up at guitar center let me set one up when i go.

Equality for all drummers. The Off-Set and the Sleishman center pedals discriminate neither the right or left handed drummer.

...You mean left footed drummers... Well, there's the Sleishman. Doesn't matter if your lefty or righty..
(A word of advice: Good idea have a sniffer dog check your pedals out before you play them.. )
