PD-122 Pro Bass Drum Pedal : Maximum bang for the buck

This drum is part of a Millennium set that I am building and we use it for playing in the house or in a log cabin. From the back i.e. when playing it it sounds fine enough - sort of subdued. When playing the guitar in front of it it does light up the whole band - wonderful sound - surprising how little of input you need from it to give the band a real lift.

You have to assemble it but there was no instructions and then tune it a bit - but where better to learn how to fiddle around with it than on a drum of this price. My music teacher showed me how to hit with a standard drum stick against the skin next to each tensioner to hear the sound and surprisingly only one was out after I assembled it - just a bit too tight and high - the rest were all fine. It is easy enough to put together and light enough to lift.

The pedal I have has a longish arm so the striker hits just above the middle.

Overall I would say a lot of fun for money - plenty of 'bang' for the 'buck' spent.
