Very cool vintage drum pedal. Works great. Clamps to the bass drums well. You can adjust tension, change out beater heads. Its been oiled and is quiet. On top of that it looks very cool. Only thing I can say is that the piece that holds the beater assemlby and pivets can come out of the side holder hole. I played the beater for about an hour and it didnt happen while i was drumming. Its easy to put back if it does happen and is pretty on par for this vintage drum. Could be how it was build from the start for maintenance?
