I'm just getting started in double bass, and while I've been doing OK with turning the hi hat pedal on my e-kit into a 2nd kick, it's about time to get the real thing. However, I'm not as dedicated a double bass player as some and want to be able to get a decent pedal without breaking the bank. Of these "budget" pedals, which one should I get? Hopefully I'll be able to make it out somewhere to try a few of these out over the weekend.
Mapex 500- cheap but gets good reviews
Pearl P902
Tama Iron Cobra Jr.- Have the single and it's great, but I figured I'd still explore other options
Gibraltar Avenger II
DW DWCP2002
DW 3000- I've heard people say these are too heavy, but I'm not a blast beat guy so I don't know if that would be a problem
