Mapex PF1000LTW Falcon Double Bass Drum Pedal (Left Handed)
The Falcon Pedal is a completely new design from Mapex and is designed to be the smoothest-playing pedal ever made.
The Falcons exclusive hollow inox steel drive shaft offers the utmost in strength without adding unwanted drag or excess weight. This increases the smooth operation of the pedal and gives Falcon a sensationally smooth feel. By allowing the torque-free spring mechanism to move independently the Falcons stroke and recoil motions are exceptionally smooth and feel more natural to the foot.
The Falcon's easy-to-reach, resistance-free clamp adjustment can be tightened with one hand from a seated position, making set-up quick and easy, even in the tightest spaces.
The Falcons patented Talonâ bass drum hoop clamp features locking claws that move independently from the pedal frame. Even if the bass drum is pitched at a severe angle, the pedal remains flat to the floor and securely clamped to the drum for the utmost comfort and security.
The Falcon is equipped with interchangeable cams to suit each players individual style. The Glide cam offers an equal amount of inertia from the beginning to the end of the stroke, while the Pursuit cam is recommended for increased power and maximum impact. The reversible beater head comes with interchangeable 10 gram and 20 gram inserts. By choosing one of these weights (or playing without any additional weight at all) the player can choose the desired degree of centrifugal force.
The footboard angle and beater angle are independently adjustable, enabling the player to fine-tune the ideal combination of playing comfort and force of stroke. The footboard and heel plate are hinged using an exclusive sealed bearing mechanism that offers zero resistance and secure operation with no lateral movement.
