Starting Drums!

turtlspinr:
that's the thing about pedals....every one of them feels completely different to every single person. one person says XXX pedal feels heavy and slow, the next person says that the same pedal feels smooth and light.

find the one that feels best for you and go with it.

dalconnsuch:
drummers to listen to:

ginger baker (already been said)

john bonohm of led zeppelin

neal peart of rush

bill bruford of yes and king crimson

keith moon of the who

carl palmer of ELP

danny carrey of tool

terry bozzio of frank zappa

hal baine session man

just my opinion of some of the greats




Patrick:
Listen to jazz drummers. It doesn't matter what style you will eventually want to listen to, just listen to jazz drummers. They can do anything.

Cam:
There is also the issue of cost.  Some one that is starting out with a drum set they picked up for $40 might not want to drop several times that on the snare and pedal when they are getting started. 

Also, turtlspinr is right.  The Iron Cobras are an excellent product and very well made.  Some thing about this just doesn't feel right for me.

Oh, and if you want to just be humbled.  Check out Virgil Donati some time.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7ssXMpT5IQ&NR=1

Patrick:
For the record, the best bass drum pedal I've ever used is a Ludwig Speed King. That thing really isn't bullshitting you, it is faster than Mickey Thompson's Challenger.
