Lets see those Drum Pedals!
« on: February 15, 2007, 01:53:48 AM »
im tired and very sleepy but i just spent the best 6k worth piece of gear ever  :-D





its a maxtone pedal...sandy told me about this last monday. according to him, this is the first and only pedal jb brought in. cant buy them yet. i just grabbed it at jb megamall earlier today and went straight to my band rehearsal...played with it for the next 5 hours

i know what you are thinking...THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS THE DUALLIST and THIS AINT CHEATING!

if you cant play heel-toe then this pedal is not for you. the first thing i could do was 16th note triplets while testing this inside the store. i only managed to do single 16th note patterns after 4 hours.

the thing is playable but will never feel like a dw, IC or elim no matter how you optimize your settings. its difficult for me to use it as a single pedal since i have to literally play heel up always. but for the price i paid for, its well worth it  :-D


i promise to take better pics of it when i get the chance. the photos were taken at the rehearsal space

Interesting, Pao.  Dalhin mo yan sa mga future EBs.  Pa-test drive! :-D  I haven't tried those kinds of pedals yet.  Just curious of how it works and how it can be applied in an actual musical setting.

wow!  :-o :-o :-o

is it difficult to switch between single and double pedal modes?

pero 6k bnew is a bargain compared to duallist 20k and 10-15k 2nd hand.

this is more of a toy than a piece of gear that you'd bring regularly to gigs. to see how it works :

you cant! play the long footboard with your toe and play the the heel plate with your...heel  :-D you can move the heel farther out to be able to play the footboard more freely but the feel isnt quite that good. its not as responsive as my dw.

know what, i can do modifications on this pedal  :-D im going to replace the hinge with a dw and get a better cam

Interesting. How does it differ from the Duallist in terms of performance and feel?

buy 1 take 1 kasi ang duallist. make one stroke and you get one for free.

dito kailangan ikaw yung mag initiate nung 2nd stroke via your heel. you dont get free hits. look for thomas lang's demonstration of the sonor giant step pedal on youtube. it works the same way but maxtone used a different design

cant compare feel and performance against the duallist since i never used one before. compared to my dw5000 this pedal feels dead but with a little patience and the prospect of creating new patterns, its still a worthy piece of sh*t

im not going to use it as my main pedal anyway

bearings all the way. hindi nga lang naka bearing yung footboard pero madali na gawan ng paraan yun. medyo manipis yung plate nya sa ilalim pero at least its there.

double chain yung footboard, single chain yung heel pedal. madaling palitan ng strap kasi hindi sprocket yung ginamit na cams. tonight ko masusubukan yung improvised strap made from leather. kagagawa ko lang kasi kagabi. iniisip ko rin na gawing strap yung sa heel board.

additional playing comments :

kung ikaw yung tipo ng nag side to side motion sa pedal, hindi rin pwede sa yo to. meron kasing metal part sa left side na extension nung heel board. tatama yung paa mo dun.

nasanay na ko sa constant release technique ni steve smith kaya very easy sa kin yung 16th note triplets dito sa pedal. i need to learn the stiff heel-toe technique by tim waterson to get that even 16th note singles.

musical application? wala pa e. siguro pag master ko na yung technique

power is a problem. i cant play as forceful as i want with the pedal because i dont have an 'anchor'. i miss the fixed heel-plates that im so used to resting after making a stroke
