Gibraltar Drum Pedal 6000 serie D-Drive Double Pedal 6711DD-DB

been using a dw 4000 pedals for years and just upgraded to these. well worth the money, these pedals are so smooth and loads of adjustability. my double pedal skills have improved even after a day of using them, highly recommend.

The best thing (and worst, depending on how savvy you are) about this pedal is that it offers so much adjust-ability. I read the review by Matthew Yukon before I bought it and it almost put me off buying this pedal (but the price at the time was too good, so I took the plunge), however, when I got the pedal I realized that the issue he was having was easily avoidable by simply adjusting the spacing with the provided drum tuning key. Out of the box, I agree with Matthew that it needs some adjusting. I confess it took me a bit of time to figure out how to adjust everything, so I took a week before I wrote this review, but now that I know my way around it, I think this pedal is brilliant, it just takes a bit of time and patience to dial everything in and it can be frustrating, but once you figure it out, you'll be very impressed with it and knowing that it is offers as much customization as it does.

Very rigid, got from sale and it’s worth it.

I've been playing a sihtty single chain Dixon double pedal and decided to step up my double bass game recently. These Gibraltar's are pretty good: loads of adjustability, good construction. A few design flaws here and there that make it a bit of a pain to set it up - footboard angle adjustment bolt is hiding UNDER the cam instead of on top of it, no rubber on the toe clamp, etc. Apparently direct drives have a non linear force relation with the footboard movement which make the end of the movement have a bit more resistance. That might not be noticeable if you play slow stuff but I've been trying to learn the super fast metal dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum. So I just can't make this work. I miss double strokes with these MORE than with my old beat up Dixons. I assume it's because I am not used to the mechanism, so keep that in mind: you could be just like me

I was looking to try direct drive pedals for the first time and didn’t want to spend the equivalent of a decent shell pack and found the Gibraltar 6711DD DB’s on Amazon for 70 less than anywhere else . I couldn’t be happier w the purchase . The slave pedal was stiff on delivery but I simply put it on its side and tapped just like in a video I watched previously and bingo drive was back in line . They are surprisingly smooth and sturdy ( except the drum key holder) which is a minor issue for me . It didn’t take long to adjust from chain drive and I’m finding I can do more nuanced stuff and my speed is up to about where I left off with more room to grow . I may eventually get sone Trick’s or Demonaters but these will do just fine for a good while . They also arrived on time and in good shape . Kudos to Gibraltar and Amazon
