Para sa mga interesado.
I recently bought a Mapex P980 pedal because currently, that's the only pro grade double pedal I can afford dahil sobrang mahal ng gamit dito sa UK. (Double pedal Iron Cobra @ 290 Sterling Pounds x 96 Pesos!) Ito nabili ko for 150 pounds on sale at tinawaran ko pa sa mga tisoy.
Here are the pics:
Una kong napansin tong lagayan ng drum key sa ilalim ng master pedal. Good idea pero di naman masyadong snug fit ang drum key sa holder. Pero Still Ok pa rin since it still does it's job.
I like the lenght of the foot board of this pedal. Just about the right size for me (size 9 US) It's about 9inches from the hinge to tip. As you can see nilagyan ko ng 6inch na ruler sa ibabaw.
Next up, yung width ng foot board. Malapad din. It's about 1 1/2" wider than the standard mapex single pedals. This one is 3.5 inches wide!
Beaters. Ayos din. Triple sided sya for different sounds. Felt, Wood & Plastic. The beaters are very solid and the mass is medium-heavy. Kaso nga lang, hindi adjustable ang angle ng beater heads like iron cobras. Personally, I'd still like the beaters of Iron Cobra.
Isa sa mga notable features nito para sakin ay itong bearing locks sa spring adjustment. (kita nyo ba?) It lock and clicks each time you turn the nut half way. It prevents the Nut of the spring from loosening. Ever experienced natanggalan ng Nut sa spring habang tumutugtog? if so. You know what I mean.
Other features are the standards na. Memory locks for the beaters... Heavy duty construction... Extra large connecting rods... spike stopper, rubber padded base plate.... Double chain... etc... Check out more pics
All in all. An excellent pedal for the value of money. Excellent Construction and materials.
Cons: No pedal bag/case included.
