This is a new item, but it has been play-tested. It stands on its own, so there's no need to clamp it to the bass drum. It utilizes the tension of rubber, so it conforms well to your foot, feeling like it's sticking to it, and returns quickly after being struck. I can't convey the feeling through text, so I'd like you to try stepping on it, but I believe even those accustomed to spring-based pedals can use it comfortably. It's made simply. It produces good volume and has a clear attack sound. Please give it a try.
