  I was playing on my drum set last week, part of my bass pedal broke off. I decided that I should probably go with a double bass pedal for replacement.
So, in my quest to find a new pedal, I was suggested the Tama Iron Cobra Flexi Glide. This pedal has everything I want and looks beautiful. It uses Kevlar straps instead of chains and its a lot better because of it. I was also suggested the Iron Cobra Lever Glide HiHat stand, which also uses Kevlar. $150 but worth it cause mine sucks and this one's just awesome. Together these pedals are $420 at Musician's Friend. urlLink Paypal some money and help me get them quicker . Do It! !
