Yamaha FP9500D Direct Drive Enkelpedal

Single direct-drive bass drum pedal that features a solid cast link between the rocker shaft and the footboard. The direct drive ''pushes'' the footboard back on rebound, giving the pedal a quicker response. Many drummers that play heel-down prefer the feel of a direct drive. The pedal has adjustments for beater angle, footboard angle, and spring tension, and its frame has a stabilizer bar cast into it below the rocker shaft to eliminate flex. This keeps the bearings in alignment and gives the pedal a smooth feel. The hole in the beater hub is tear drop shaped so it securely holds the beater shaft and keeps the new two-sided beater from spinning. The upgraded beater is felt on one side, and hard plastic on the other. The side-adjustable hoop clamp holds firmly to different thickness hoops, and tightens with a wing bolt. The pedal ships in a hard sided soft case for transport.
