Boxed into the reviewer’s corner, I have to admit I haven’t seen a crappy bass drum pedal in many years. Standards are so high that even modest pedals are pretty darn good. But up here in the expensive neighborhood there’s a new top contender: the Mapex Falcon. Of course pedals, like shoes, are a very personal choice. You’ll have to put your foot to it. But be sure to add the Falcon to your shopping list, especially if you like appropriately nitpicky, intelligent tweaks offered in a cohesive design that are the result of refinement rather than adventure.

Pros: It has plenty of adjustment but manages to feel effortless, light, smooth and silent of action. There are several innovations, but they are useful, not gimmicky. Cons: Very little. Verdict: Pearl's Demon Drive pedal is more complicated, daunting and expensive, although a fabulous piece of engineering. The Falcon is simpler, more accessible and intuitive. And like Tama's Iron Cobra and DW's 9000, it's a pedal that many drummers will, we're sure, come to love.
