Re: I got new pedals..again.
Good score. I've never had extensive time on any pedal other than my IC. But I do like the Raptor. On the short time I tapped on it it felt nice.

To me they feel better than IC's. But that's just me.
The only thing I can see bad out this pedal is, is supports for the shaft. Some people suspect it will lead to premature bearing wear. But, I can't find more than 2 examples of that, so it doesn't look like to be a big deal.
I love direct drive now, its going to be hard to switch back. My feet have been searching for this forever.

I've never had any extensive time on anything other than my Iron Cobras and some cheap Gibraltars I use for my practice kit. Which make my IC's feel like gold! Ha.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Good score. I really liked the single when I tried it.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Direct drive is where its at. So smooth,like buttah!
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Congrats on the new pedal Xoferif09! I have never tried out a direct drive pedal (I guess I'm worried it might start up a new round of GAS), so anything you can tell us as you settle into the pedals would be great.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Congrats, X. Cool to find YOUR gear.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Those look really nice!! Lov the beaters.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
congrad on the new pedal

Re: I got new pedals..again.
Congrats on the score. Those are really nice looking pedals.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Congrats on the new pedals!
I use the Mapex double Falcons and am really happy with them (it?).
I would like to try the direct drive attachments for the Falcons, though. I was a big fan of my old Speed Kings back in the '80s when I played two bass drums. I suspect the Falcons with direct drive would be similar.
Congrats, again!

Re: I got new pedals..again.
Well, I got to jam out a little today on them, and I can say I love them. I have the spring tension set to the absolute low, and there is still plenty of rebound. I also removed the beater weights. A very light pedal, but still has enough resistance to let you know something is there.
I feel like I am going to love this pedal. Its just going to take some getting used to.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Oh man! I nearly got that pedal, but walked out of the shop with some new Pearl eliminators instead.. Such a great pedal! I spent a solid half hour comparing the two. :) I know you'll enjoy them.
Re: I got new pedals..again.
Nice looking gear there Xoferif09.
I am sure you will give them a great work out.
