Sonor Perfect Balance Standard Pedal by Jojo Mayer

The original Perfect Balance kick pedal was designed for ease of use and efficiency of motion. What's more straightforward than a noncollapsible design with a regular hoop clamp? Where the Jojo Mayer signature model left off, the Sonor Perfect Balance Standard single bass pedal picks up where it left off. Its strap-controlled round cam and beater hub mechanism deliver a smooth, linear throw and lightning speed for Mayer-style triples and heel-to-toe sixteenths. A revised heel plate bearing has been added to the Perfect Balance Standard, which reduces play and improves smoothness even more.

Nothing beats the closeness that a linear-drive kick pedal like Sonor's Perfect Balance Standard provides. The integrated driving cam and beater hub, which reduces mass, is one of the best aspects of this pedal's mechanics. This produces a stroke that is nearly completely linear, which is ideal for transferring your playing dynamics. The Perfect Balance Standard kick pedal is everything a technical drummer could want, especially when paired with the lightweight and virtually unbreakable ballistic-fiber strap.

One of the few issues drummers have regarding linear kick pedals is that they can make generating enough power for powerful musical periods difficult. Sonor's Perfect Balance Standard kick pedal, on the other hand, isn't like that. Its longboard shape allows for plenty of pedal slips and power strokes. You'll like the Perfect Balance Standard's lengthened footboard whether you prefer a fine-tuned heel-down technique, a heavy heel-up approach, or a mix of the two.
