A bass drum pedal for beginners - well built, reliable and seriously portable

The MusicRadar Team, Thu 24 Apr, 12:09 pm BST

The lightweight design means this pedal is seriously portable

Review

Yamaha's entry-level pedal is not big on features but, like all Yamaha hardware, it is beautifully put together and has an air of reliability about it.

Lightweight design means that the pedal is seriously portable. Its chain drive delivers a suitably smooth, quiet action and the beater angle is adjustable. The supplied symmetrical felt beater is somewhere between school music room naff and retro chic, depending on your viewpoint.

Verdict

An entry-level piece of gear, well put together and a good place to start.
