Bouncy pedal with lots of foot space
a Tamás 22.07.2022
There are 2 versions of the Jojo Mayer pedal and they almost look the same. There is the original foldable one which has extra lacquer on the footboard and there's this stable one which comes at a better price. I bought this version because I read in reviews that the original Jojo pedal might accidentally collapse under your foot. This does not fold like the original but is still very transportable if you detach the spring and remove the beater (just wrap the beater in something to avoid the metal parts scratching each other).

Pros
Looks nice and simple
Any foot technique is easier on the long footboard with the flat surface, plus you get extra space on the right (where there's no pillar) for foot motions
The beater naturally bounces back so it's easy to avoid burying it in the bass drum head. This is probably due to the round cam and and the strap-drive system.
Recommended by Jojo Mayer in his foot technique video course

Cons (nothing that can't be fixed) :

The beater rod is slightly thinner than other beater rods and it is shaped even thinner on its lower part. It requires about 2 - 3 cm of the beater poking out at the other end to hit the exact centre of a 22" bass drum. The beater hole isn't wide enough to let other regular-thick beater rods through, it stops them when they reach the bottom. If you want to use a different beater and still hit the centre of the bass drum, you can try putting the desired beater head on a shorter rod.

It could have a bit more and softer padding on the clamp - I usually wrap an old sock around the bass drum hoop where I attach the pedal to avoid scratches.

I found the pedal might make some noise in certain cases but it's easy to fix that
- There might be some space between the spring holder thumbscrews -> tighten them
- The foam in the spring might have come out -> stretch the spring and push the foam back to the centre
- The beater might be loose -> tighten it up with a drum key

It is a bit wiggle, for speedy drummers could be a problem.
