Ludwig L203 Speed King Pedal

Top notch pedal

Purchased this one based on online reviews and quite a few YT videos. This purchase was meant to replace the Yamaha Dragon Fly in my possession, and it did, completely. Even though they are both direct drives, this one feels to be more analogous than the DragonFly. With DF I always had a bit of struggle to get the dynamics and movement right. Not the case with the Speed King.

Quality is excellent and the way it disassembles and fits within the pouch is great.

The classic is back!

I’ve been using Ludwig Speed King pedals since I started playing drums, in 1978.

When they stopped being available a few years back I was “forced” in to trying to find a modern replacement. I never did. I tried a bunch of them though, but to no avail.

So, to say I’m happy with my new Speed King, even though I waited a long time for it, is an understatement. I love it. What a home run Ludwig! What a home run! Thanks.
