No frills and easy to set up, some durability issues.
Old-school and user friendly, with a nice bounce to it. Gotta love the felt-only beater (modern rock/metal players stay clear).
Spring broke after 6 years of moderate, infrequent use. Luckily occurred in rehearsal, where a spare pedal (DW 5000) was available. Would’ve been a real problem had it occurred at a gig, though. I prefer the Gretsch, as the DW is harder to adjust, generally stiffer and less forgiving. However, it does seem to be more durable. The black paint surrounding the footrest will flake off pretty quickly. Cool if you like the road-worn look, but you’ll soon realise that trying to keep it pristine is a fool’s errand.
