The Best Bass Drum Pedals: What to consider
If you’re in the market for a new bass drum pedal, it very much depends on where you are coming from. Is this your first pedal ever? Are you looking to upgrade your worn-out old model? Or are you flush with cash and only want the best of the best bass drum pedals?
Everybody’s favorite drummer and their mother could be recommending that one pedal you just HAVE to get if you’re serious about drumming. But it might end up not feeling right when you’re playing it. And your feeling is never wrong. So do take time to find the right one.
Each part of a pedal can have a massive impact on its feel. Since playing styles, body physicality, and habits vary dramatically from drummer to drummer, we can’t in good conscience recommend “the best bass drum pedals for the metal“ or “the best bass drum pedal for Rock.” But we can make a couple of suggestions for you to consider.
Tama Iron Cobra is 10 percent off!
No list of the best bass drum pedals for any genre is complete without one of the most iconic pedals of all time, Tama’s Iron Cobra. The Cobra has a whole range of different subseries. These differ in the number of different settings and modifications a model allows, the beater’s drive, the materials used, and more.
So, if you’re looking to get into “Cobra land”, you might want to check out Tama’s entry model, the Iron Cobra HP200P. The bass drum pedal is ten percent off at Thomann* right now for a limited time! Plus, there is also a Tama HP30TW Bass Drum Double Pedal on sale at Thomann*, at almost ten percent off as well.
Save over 20 percent with these pedals from the DW 7000-Series!
There is the Cobra, and then there is DW. Few other companies are as highly regarded when it comes to drum hardware (they make some of the best drum kits as well), as DW Drums. While “7000 series” isn’t as flashy and memorable as Tama’s pedal, this isn’t far off DW’s iconic 9000 series. You get much of DW’s excellent build quality at a much more affordable price.
The DW 7000PT comes with a round chainring, an aluminum hinge, and a lateral locking screw – and it’s over 22 percent off at Thomann* right now! You can save almost as much, 18 percent, with the double pedal version, DW 7002PT at Thomann* as well!
One of the best bass drum pedals of all time: the Pearl P-3002D Demon Double Pedal is 7 percent off!
It might not be the biggest deal in this week’s installment of drum deals, but the Demon is among the best bass drum pedals of all time, and it’s on sale. So, there is no reason not to mention it. The P-3002D is practically begging your foot to machine gun your bass drum doubles at lightning speed.
It’s a direct drive pedal and will react at the slightest move of even your little toe. The two pedals come with extra-long boards, so even the biggest feet and weirdest playing angles will find a home. It’s just a joy to play bass drum with and the P-3002D is 7 percent off at Thomann* right now!
