DRUMNETICS MAGNETIC DRUM PEDALS AT 2008 NAMM SHOW

[FRIESENZA]

can you adjust the length of the drive shaft?

[OnafetsOradoD]

I wonder how the Helical couplings feel in comparison to Uni Joints? Is there a reason no one else has adapted them?

[QueWaNe]

How much would the double go for?

[geoffatwork]

Might have considered it, but not a longboard and not sure if you can make the double into 2 singles...

[noconflictbanana]

I think this is like the magnet version of a iron cobra.

The cobra coil is based of direct physical contact of the spring and footboard which sets a fast rebound.

This is much cooler as it uses two magnets , one on the base and one on the bottom of the footboard. Both magnets are negatively charge and acts the same way as the cobra coil as the reject each other. Never thought of this, Drumectics is an engineering genius

[STIMP989]

I actually own the single pedal and I have to say that it is the best pedal i have played (and I've played alot). I've had mine for just over 2 years and it plays like the first day I received it. Smooth, fast, and powerful. I wouldn't use anything else.

[TheSicknessIsTheCure]

Fucking magnets! How do they work!?

[FORTY848]

i want those doubles, but they're $659 

[JonasOfSweden]

@FORTY848 Well boohoo, an Axis shortboard double pedal is the equivalent of 1200$ here in Sweden.

[FORTY848]

@JonasOfSweden yeah i can get axis pedal over here in australia for $570 in my local drum shop, i'm going to buy them in like 2 months

[rhythmkeeper009]

I have a feeling that these would break quite quickly if anyone put them through real abuse, like touring, for instance, and I'm not talking about bar hopping from coast to coast, but playing in small to medium size venues playing heavier music where equipment really gets put to the test.

[deemmp123456]

@rhythmkeeper009 I would have to agree 110%, It is a great idea, with that said I really don't think it could last during heavier play.



[adXok]

This pedal really involve the brilliant magnetic idea, because there is NO inertia present in the standard spring return!!!

:)

[DjABBlends]

in about 5 years the magnet will wear off, even magnets dont last for ever

[innie721]

@DjABBlends neodymium magnets dont lose magnetism unless theyre subject to very high temperatures, like 400C.

these use neodymium magnets,

[wiirluvenit]

@DjABBlends 5 years is a hell of a long time compaired to replacing springs every 5-6 months

[DjABBlends]

@wiirluvenit ive had the springs like for 2 years, i think more, and they work well since the day i bought them

[wiirluvenit]

@DjABBlends You may think that but They are probably very worn down (depending on how long/hard you play also tension of the springs) But I'm sure if you changed them you would notice a big difference!

[DrumsOfAPredator]

wonder if this one is good for high double bass speed, anyone tried one?

[CrawfordDrummer]

Man one huge word of advice is make it so you can adjust the position of the second pedal, but try and keep it with no play, like trick's rod...too bad it's pantented

[metalliclark]

i cant hear you over the shitty people who think they can drum behind you.

[LauenPower]

"iiim soo tiiired, i neeed to speed up my life.." He will commit suicide tonight...

[sogandik]

i like the background solo

[sPiNcH]

wooow, i so want to test this pedal..impossible in europe ;(

[metalfan96]

it looks weak like could it stand up to heavy metal type?

[69drummerdan]

I just hope its not going to give me foot cancer........

[Tuomionkasi]

@69drummerdan It wont. Biological affects happen with magnets over 10 microTeslas, and medical analysis are made with 0,1 microTeslas. And those magnets used in the medical analysis's are HUGE compared to those magnets. :P

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

its pretty cool but i wish they changed the look a bit

[Necronaut]

so you it can look cooler while playing?

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

@Necronaut well it just looks really weird but its still cool but im sure if they wanted to they could change the look

[slashdelbarrio]

@ryanandbranslurppiss Just take a look at the guy who presents them, talks much about their lack of marketing techniques!

[Joaquinmik]

they are expensive cause they are "hand-made", if they produces it on mass they should be a lot cheaper than a normal pedal

[drumman8524]

My friend owns one of the single pedals and let me tell you this is the best pedal i have playing on it is extremely smooth more than any pedal i have played on. If you have the money get one of these

[buddylikeguitar]

u no what thats good for if you playing in a studio and u need a quiet pedel

[Brandonbraun]

These are cool, but are outrageously expensive.

[TheMisfit123456789]

how much are they?

[roughpulse8]

about 270

[generatrix999]

What, no Ninja bearings? This is a good idea...magnets.

[RhettSchusta]

there is one problem with this magnetic pedal. with springs, you can ajust how tight they are. you cant really ajust how much strength a magnet has without buying a whole nother magnet. but idk just something to think about..

[generatrix999]

...yes you can, go to the web site...learn.

Springs also only go so tight, then you have to buy an other spring. Magnet force is adjustable on this pedal.

[silversnakeseven]

Actually, it's adjusted by changing the closeness of the magnets on these pedals. I'd like to try one in a store, but nobody carries these... so expensive!

[bixlord]

you can adjust the position of the magnets (the distance between them)

[IllAtEase1]

It's creative

[alexaxxem]

the bottom magnet moves along with the magnet on the under side of the pedal, you can adjust them back or forward so that its set at different tensions, but then again, its just that the magnets are already closer so more tension if set all the way back, either way, i would not buy these lol

[NathanZ0112]

Yeah you can. Look on the video where he talks about it.

[Charlz88]

that dude needs a red bull

[kempo999p]

@Charlz88 i know lol it must suck in their if your trying to catch some sleeps

[AlBanardo]

those beaters look like shit

[andy15m374l]

I just looked at the drumnetics website and there is completely nothing negative to be said about this design. Incredible innovation. But, I would have to get my feet on these and see how well they actually work. There is no really good demonstration of them on youtube. The footboard could be too heavy or the use of magnetics may not work as well as springs. It's good to see innovative American small businesses at work.

[groovingsoul]

However it may look but the concept behind it's mechanism is great.....I gonna buy it once it's available at our local Music stores in Hong Kong.

[drumdemon3]

how can anyone say they LOOK cool? they look like the ones u get on budget kits that cost like 20 bucks,the shape and design of the footboard looks nasty

[EmoHunting666]

looks almost like an axis, how could you say it looks budget

[stupidplants]

your joking right? they look like Trick brand pedals

[blastDERVbeat]

No they don't?

[stupidplants]

yeah they do?

[blastDERVbeat]

I have tricks and i personally dont think they do.

[stupidplants]

the double looks like the trick pro 1-v with the corners cut... and if you still disagree... get your eyes checked

[blastDERVbeat]

Hahaha i have an eye doctors appointment later this week haha!

[Multibomber]

Awesome linkage! Its about friggin time!!!

[scene4eva]

that looks pretty good, dus n e 1 no how much they r in canada?

[BrettG12345]

can you adjust the length of the slave?

[petecuililin]

They look smooth, but someone hit them faster please, to see the response on the left foot!

[AHitler91]

i like the pedals,they look sick and they sound good,but they heavy as fuck.

[mykicksarebetter]

that looks pretty slick.

[jamesgarvey12345]

wow i want a single pedal :)

[arconda666]

Fantastic pedal!!!!

[evolnieveilebi]

Thank God somebody finally developed a guaranteed lag-free linkage from the auxillary (left) pedal!

[deeznutzz]

this linkage doesnt look that great to me. it looks virtually unadjuastable.

my pearl eliminator universal is about 7 years old and there isnt a trace of backlash.

i can also place my left pedal wherever i please...

[evolnieveilebi]

The linkage here is a prototype. Future models will have adjustability in the length. But where the U-joints once were, the source of pedal-to-beater lag (according to my experience), there is something viably and very respectably new AND improved, IMO.

[deeznutzz]

good news!

[superomegamegacop13]

thats cause pearl eliminators own hard

[cjcdrums]

GREAT idea
