[tyrese]

Just bought one off of ebay. First of all, I'm not a double bass player (never played it before now). Secondly I just started playing drums a few months ago, though I think I'm not bad ( :-0 ). Besides that I'd say its a good pedal. If you're REALLY serious about playing double bass I'd say save up you're money and get a better one. If you want to LEARN double bass/have a practice pedal for home, get this one. But I'm sure there are some people who prefer this pedal to more expensive ones.

Also, I don't think the pedal is faulty, however I need to make some adjustments; but I played it anyway w/o fine-tuning it. One problem is that it didn't come with instructions and vexdrums.com or whatever doesn't offer any instruction guides for setup/troubleshooting. I e-mailed them a day ago, I think, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Hope that helps
