Amazing quality with a budget in mind, standard mallet design, new pedal design with ultra comfort in mind for the player, hand tooled in the US, as the name would imply more space for our larger sneaker-ed friends. This is a pedal for the drummer who is comfortable with most of today's popular chain drive pedals, but would like to have more power and control. The improved performance is due in part to the use of multiple ball bearings, improved heel design and the power of direct pull linkage.
