Mapex 500 Double Bass Drum Pedal  

this double pedal is cheap but great

i played the dw 9000 double bass pedal and if i compare it to this the dw 9000 and mapex 500 play the same. this double bass pedal is the 3 best ive played and i played the pearl elimenator.  you should definately get this 

I was very impressed with the action. 

Excellant price especially if you wait for the 15% off sale and free shipping.

This is my first double pumper.  I am very impressed as the pedal works fast and fluid.  Time will tell if it works as great as my DW 9000 but so far it is great.

My niece was thrilled when she got this for Xmas! 

This is truly a great pedal! Fast, if you want it to. not so powerful as other expensive pedals, but can get pwoer if needed. durable, easily portable for gigs or whatever. i had the beater fall out one time during a show, very easy to fix, no problem. light. fast. tough. and for a very very very AMAZING price!!!! Don't miss out on this opportunity!

Has all the features you would expect from a double bass pedal.  Nothing fancy.

The quality of it isn't bad, the felt beaters are kind of nicer, they don't tear up the head as bad.  I definitely recommend getting a drum patch regardless of what pedal you use, but for this one especially.  My only qualm would be that a lot of the lugs that hold it together like to get loose after a while, especially on the beaters.  I get a lot of slippage from the left pedal, but playing on concrete is most likely why it's as much of an issue as it is.

All in all, I got a good price for this pedal, it's nicer than other low budget pedals I've had which were around the same price.  I wasn't looking for anything special in this pedal, after not having played for two years I figured it'd be a good way to not break the bank.  I will look into replacing it in the not too distant future though.

If you're on a budget, new to double bass pedals or just new to drumming altogether, it's a good choice in pedals.  It's constructed well and doesn't feel as cheap as other pedals in its price range.  I wouldn't recommend it to a veteran player looking for the bells and whistles, but like I've said again and again, it does the job.
