The Mapex Falcon double bass drum pedal has hollow, stainless steel drive shafts, which offer the utmost in strength without adding unwanted drag or excess weight. This increases the slick operation of the pedals and gives the Falcon a sensationally smooth feel. By allowing the torque-free spring mechanisms to move independently, The falcon's stroke and recoil motions are exceptionally fluid, and feel more natural to your feet. Every feature and pedal adjustment has been engineered to make the Falcon feel as if it's an extension of your feet. Because the Mapex falcon's footprint is more compact than other bass drum pedals, it's easy to comfortably position between your Hi-Hat and snare stands. The Falcon pedal's easy-to-reach, resistance-free Talon clamp adjustment tightens with one hand from a seated position, making set up quick and easy—even in the tightest spaces.
