Millenium The Strike Double Bass Pedal

At least it's customizable

I'm not going to give a full break down of " I've played drums for X amount of years " or anything like that. I would just like to let others know that this pedal is hot garbage. No other way of saying it. I've tried using all the settings, which is the best part of the pedal, but nothing that I did helped. I've changed the beaters, I've changed the springs, I've messed with the angle of the beaters, the amount of slack for the pedals. What broke me was when I went to change the direct drive to the chain drive that comes with the pedal and I simply could not take it apart because the hole was not drilled correctly at the factory and the bolt would not come out. Besides that the pedal is hard to control at higher speeds and for me, with an average sized foot, it's not possible to do the heel toe technique. The pedal is just sloppy to play no matter the settings and maybe I just got a bad one who knows. If it was me and I could do this over again I'd just invest in a more expensive pedal from literally any other brand which is what I'm going to do right now.

Awesome Direct Drive Pedal for the Price

I have a video review on YouTube, just search the item name

Tengo un review en ESPAÑOL de estos pedales, solo busca el nombre del producto en YouTube

I've heard mixed opinions about these pedals but in my experience these are awesome pedals specially for the price you are paying.

The overall feeling is very responsive, it may take some time to get used to the particular feeling these pedals provide and after some time playing with it you will be playing very smooth.

For the price, these pedals are totally recommended.

Worth the money

I think these are great pedals at a great price. Anyone complaining about them would probably spend hundreds more on something else and still complain.

Great pedals for starting out with direct drive

I bought these pedals solely for the purpose of seeing if I like the direct drive feel, as up to this point I had only used chain-driven pedals and didn't want to pull the trigger immediately on a more expensive set of pedals. This is a very budget-friendly set of direct drive pedals and they do the job just fine. The adjustability of the cam is a little bit jumpy and not precision-adjustable, but they cannot be beaten for the price!

The pedals are put together very sturdily, I play very hard and they handle all of the abuse without any problems. Now that I have been using them for some time and have become adjusted to the feel of a direct drive system, I'll soon be upgrading to a pair of Trick Dominators. But I'll still hold on to these as a backup, a quality piece of gear!

Really like it!

Really like this product, active drive.. out of the box works well, only grip is it needs two grips to hold the beater and not one, it sometimes twist which isn't hat you want. Still love it for the price.

Cool features, poor quality

I've tried a number of Millenium products and while it's obvious that at such super affordable prices there will inevitably be some cut corners, The Strike is by far the worst in that regard.

Let me start by saying that the pedal is extremely customizable - you can adjust the angle of the footboard and the beater, and you can switch between the direct drive and chain system.

And that's about it for the positives. Replacing the springs is a serious hassle (I gave up), one of the beaters got curved even though its made of metal, and a two tiny screws that connect the direct drive system quickly got worn out to the point of not being able to screw them on or off anymore - just some of the things that just go to show what kind of low-quality materials were used.

The entire thing seems to be built on a tight schedule as the pedal never fully felt tight and smooth. I guess for someone looking to try a double pedal or a direct drive without real commitment, it might serve a purpose but any sort of serious playing, I recommend looking elsewhere.

overall use

The pedal is fully adjustable, Feeling the serious build quality. Best option of direct drive pedals for anyone on a budget, but would definetly recomend it to other serious players

The best for the money.

I've had this pedal for over a year now, This is essentially a ddrum direct drive but for the right price. I love the feel and long boards for double bass. This pedal has helped me out with my speed and control. The only downside to the this pedal is trying to tighten up the springs. It's not the easiest but doable. If you're on the fence about a direct drive, go ahead and try this pedal out. If you don't like the direct drive, it comes with double chains and cams to switch the pedal over.
