Hi Guys,

So the title's pretty self explanatory.

I'm revisiting the double bass technique and am interested in a decent pedal that would be comfortable for beginner - intermediate level playing.

Open to suggestions.

Regards
RSM

I'd go for a dw 3000 pedal. It's one of the best you'll get for the price and it isn't very expensive compared to others

How can you be yourself when you don't know who you are?

I'll second the Pearl 902s - I used them for quite a while, and they felt awesome. Give 'em a try!

I would say it all depends on your budget too.

I started out with a Vex-Pro for just over 100 bucks, worked great...

I've had Pearl 902's, and I hated them. You quickly reach a skill plateau with them. I'd go with something from Gibraltar, like the pedals that jared demoed, or DWs
