Off Set Pedal Last viewed: 7 minutes ago

This looks like a great idea, keeps the drummer centered, can play right or left, even pressure on both feet. has anyone tried this pedal>?

I got two set's of offset . at first i just was not sure about them . it took me a day or so to get comfortable with them . now they are my main double bass pedals . and trust me i tryed them all and spent thousands on pedals .

how can i put this , these pedals let's you realy get in there and stay comfortable for longer period of time . this is not a new concept , other brand's have been doing this for years with a much heavier price tag . the construction of theses pedals are right in tune with the price . when i do get used ones for sale , they dont stay on my shelve for very long .

very cool, I'm going to buy one and try it out, one thing though. with the snare being in the center, is the hi hat too far to reach. I'm used to having the hats right next to my snare.

I've seen those at NAMM, and the concept goes back to Sleishman about 40 years ago, though there was no attention to pedal spacing/positioning back then.

Although I don't play double, I like the ergonomics of it, especially with 2 mounted toms and the snare in the 'middle'.

i have no issues with hi hat spacing with offset , that crazy spacing from hi hat to snare is found when i use of two bass drums , with single pedals . good luck let me know how they worked out for you .

the key to staying in the comfort zone is a hi hat to bass drum clamp takes all the guess work out and the hats are right where you want them..

This line of thinking is very interesting-my biggest issue with the whole double-pedal thing is the "lag"due to having immediate control of the right pedal and having to compensate pressure wise on the left,which at least for me is weaker.This way both sides are equal-and centered.I am also interested to see the position of the floor tom in this set-up.Please continue!
