Usable out of the box. Idiot proof, no strange knobs and settings to mess up the feel leaving most ppl at a lost to the preferred settings. Very smooth, stable. Use it to play clave on my cowbell. Good response, and kick-back. Stiker sounds great. Sensitive enough for good dynamics.

Great features in the mechanics, and design. I don't see other features to help it from sliding around like nice sticky rubber pads with decent surface area. I play anywhere, including smooth marble floors.

Out of the box, works great with good feel. Carry case included makes it so easy to transport to gigs.

For the price, it's a dream.

Grade it seven because I so far use the website for help only.

It's practical and useful, look forward to gigging with it. But I doesn't make me want to make love to it everyday.

Band Director

Latin, Country, pop-rock combo.

Hoop clamp rotates to keep pedal on the floor, adjustable beater angle, full plate construction, heavy.

No owners manual needed.

My buddy and I compared this side-by-side with his DW 5000, and the construction is almost identical. Heavy gauge steel base plate, massive pedal thickness, substantial spikes, etc. Powder coated. Very sturdy and very stable. Silent (no squeaks).

You'd be hard pressed to find a pedal out there built as well as this one at any price, let alone a budget price.

This Product is great, although it wais a little much,
