Hi guys! Which of these double bass drum pedals in your opinion is the best choice for newbie double bass drummer in price range $100-$200? http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.com/navigation/double-drum-pedals?N=100001+357359+8
Your best option? Wander in to a drum store and get your feet on as many as you can. Try to narrow your choices down according to what you like/don't like....THEN look around for online deals.
Don't rely on a review for something you haven't played. There is only one real way to know what you're looking for in a pedal and that's to try as many as you are able to.
Yes, I know that but I don't have the possibility of trying them. Thats why I am asking you to tell me which of these is worth buying. I'd probably will have the chance to try only Gibraltar Avenger.
Fair enough mate, your call.....but this is how a question like this is gonna roll.
OP: What pedal should I buy?
Reply 1: Go for the DW
Reply 2: Nah, The Pearl for the win
Reply 3: I own the Taye and couldn't be happier with it.
Reply 4: Another vote for DW
Reply 5: I tried the Gibraltar and hated it....get the IC
Reply 6: Save your money and upgrade to better pedals than all of them.
Reply 7: The IC's are the smoothest. fastest pedals out there....but it doesn't matter as I'm saving for an Axis anyway.....because apparently they're smoother and faster.
.......and on it goes.
All great advice from the perspective of those replying, but none of it makes you any the wiser. You still don't know anything more than before you started....hence why I say, try before you buy, is the only way to know what you'll like.
Thanks again for the advice. I will try some of them if I have the chance and then I'll decide. So.. My final question is: Which if these brands is most durable, because I heard some things about DW that they're cracky but expensive etc.?
For under $200 you can get a used Iron Cobra, DW 5000, Yamaha Flying Dragon, etc. No point in getting low end stuff...
