For the standard acoustic or digital drum kit one uses a single drum pedal. When buying such a drum pedal, please note that they vary in construction. For instance, one bass drum pedal might have more configuration options than another, and the ruggedness of kick drum pedals may differ, just as the way they are mounted. There are three types of driving mechanisms: direct, chain and belt. Many drummers prefer direct drive but your choice depends on your musical taste and style. The material of the beater head has a big impact on the sound. Felt gives a round, deep sound whereas wood and plastic produce a sharper tick. If you want to take your drum kit with you on stage, we recommend protecting your pedals.
