Reviews of Ludwig Speed King Single Bass Drum Pedal
Feature: No one had been able to make a pedal that your whole foot can use except ludwig. Yes these pedals squeek and don't hold up to hard stomping, but they are the only design to alllow for heel control, The beater is always in a back postion so the delivery time is faster. All other pedals rely on a spring to do the whole job after you step on the pedal. Ludwig springs are very loose it's the positioning that makes it so fast. Get it?
Quality: These are so cool looking, You can even play em with bare feet. Comfy!
Value: These can cost from $100-$150 and will last your whole life, unless you lack technique and stomp on the pedal like an idiot.
Desirability: No doubt the coolest looking pedal ever invented, Remember kiddies Chaain drive = Slow. Think about it, if you were gonna hit someone, would it bee faster to wind it up your arm, or just punch straight.SNAP! These things just snap!
Sound: Like any other pedal except you have better control over lower volumes. I was like everyone else once, I saw that chain and sproket and had to have one,... What a mistake. 25 years later I realized I played faster as a little kid. I needed to get my old Speed King pedal back.
Support: Buy it from someone who deals with Ludwig and can get you warrantee information. They should fix the squeek and relaunch the pedal as improved, that would be a good marketing idea,
Overall: I love em.
