Millenium PD-223 Pro Series BD Pedal Reviews

A great choice for beginners

It's a great pedal if you are just starting to play double bass and it can do everything that you'll need, you definitely pay less than what you are getting but always keep in mind that all of this applies fro beginners. The slave pedal does feel quite different from the main pedal and no matter how hard you try you wont make them feel the same so be aware.

Ridiculous for the price

While I am not really a drummer (so my expectations from drumming gear may be a little too basic), but wife and I could not fault this pedal in any way (and definitely not for the price paid for a direct drive double pedal!). One note though is that I bought it for use with wifey's Strike kit so just in case that actually is a major factor in my review, I am putting it out there. Wife is happy with it and so far we have used it for a few months and nothing came loose or made any noises. Did I mention how quiet and smooth it is compared to chain driven pedals?

Profit maximized.

A fair supply for the price paid. Profit maximized. Supply will be done according to the agreed time

Customize everything on this pedal and find the way it suits you!!!

This pedal packs really nice features and capabilities for this price point. No way I would go for some low end branded pedal, when this one does it all.

It is pretty sturdy, everything is metal, and finish is better than I expected.

But, the one thing I loved about this pedal is it's customizability. You can change the batter angle without affecting the pedal angle. You can then change the batter angle in a way it depends on pedal angle. You simply won't find this on any low end branded pedals.

I was sceptical of this product, but after reading tons of reviews of this model and PD-222, I took a chance. Did NOT regret. On first try, direct drive seemed too "direct". But, trust me... you can adjust the direct drive as well, and find a way to make it feel more "natural", like a chain driven pedal. I'm thrilled with the quality at this price point.

If you're in a hunt for double bass pedal, but you don't want to spend small fortune on it, go with me on this one, I'm sure you won't regret it. And don't panic right away, you CAN CUSTOMIZE this one, in so many ways.

And one more thing... I've seen some reviews about the slave pedal being "slow", or not reacting as main pedal. Not in my case! This one lets me do 32's reeeally easy. It does everything my old yamaha did, and much more!

Worth it

A cheap but an awesome double pedal.

Easy drumming at 170-180 bpm.

Massive.

The best for its price range

I bought this double pedal, as I ordered an amazing one from a polish company (which took 6 months for delivery as it was custom built, worth the wait, better than DW, Axis etc..). So after extended research on the best cheap double pedals, I decided to take this one for practicing before my amazing one would arrive. I was just a bit worried it would be really bad and unusable as some Millennium products are.

I was pleased to see so many settings on such a cheap pedal. Of course do not expect amazingness from this product but for starters this pedal is a great deal. Even now that I received my new pro custom polish pedal, I still keep the Millennium. I don't use it but I keep it for a garage drum kit.

BD Pedal

Works very nice, easy to set up.

A good intro to Double Bass Pedals

I am a novice drummer - I've only been playing for about 12 months and wanted to learn double kick drum techniques.

It seems to be a very well built pedal and has handled all of the abuse I've thrown at it!

I'd like to have gotten some instructions on how to set up the pedal, as being a novice drummer, I didn't know how to adjust beater angles etc.

Apart from that, I can't find fault with it. Its well built, responsive and good value for the quality of it.
