It is, by far, the best drum pedal I ever had under my foot. Extremely responsive and precise action, very powerful and fast. Sometimes direct drive pedals ? and Trick Drums pedals in particular ? are associated with metal, but I don?t play metal and I think that this high precision machine can improve the drumming of players of any musical genre. Sometimes direct drive pedals are also said to be difficult to control ? being too nervous or too responsive ? but after a few years of using a Tama Iron Cobra HP900RN pedal I adapted to the feel of the Pro 1-V in less than half an hour. It has innovative design, it is sturdily built ? this is a pedal for a lifetime ? and provides all the adjustments needed to suit any drummer?s physical characteristics, playing style or music genre. The hoop clamp is the most easy to operate I?ve ever seen and the solution for the adjustment of the spring tension (a easily accessible knob) is decades ahead of the competition.
