Rogers Dyno-Matic Drum Pedal

Great pedal, I like it because the feel on the foot belongs to the old days, it is a fast pedal but with a certain heaviness and this for those who have a good foot allows you to fly with all the control you want, do not be fooled because it is a single chain, there is great strength and power in the fist. I personally think it is an exceptional pedal.

This pedal is supposed to be a remake of the 60s Rogers Swivo-Matic pedal. I've never used the original so I can't tell how close they are in performance and feel. The Dyno-Matic is really great, though. I especially love the fact you can adjust spring tension while playing - it made me realise I never really understood the importance of spring tension before! The toe stop felt obsolete but i's easy to remove. Also, the art deco details feel great under my bare foot. However, they will probably become very dirty and hard to clean with time...

This looks very cool, it has an easy clamping action to attach to the drum hoop, it's also easy to adjust whilst sitting on your stool, you can just reach down. I really wanted to love it as it does look cool and retro, but I have had to spend quite a bit of time playing around with it to get the right feel and even now I'm not 100% convinced. I use it on my practice kit and take the Yamaha FP9C to gigs which is an excellent pedal.
