I suggest looking into a
pearl or lower end
DW double pedal. I bought the
gibraltar avenger 2 and had to do some work on it. The footboards are not solid, as they have those holes cut in them to "look cool". I play in socks, and my feet/toes would feel funky when part of my skin was on metal and part was in the holes. Fortunately, the previous double pedal I had was made by Kaman music, the same parent company as Gibralter, so I switched out the foot boards, and now it's pretty good. The beaters are also different, but I ended up really liking them. Still, I suggest looking into other similarly priced pedals.
