Basix double bass pedal is a nice pedal. I have used this pedal for couple of years. Its nice for entry level double bass drummers. It has a good response which allows you to play the foot techniques.This pedal is very low cost compared to those of Tama and Pearl. Howeover you can use this pedal for 2 or 3 years without any problems. But after using this pedal for long there will be few normal problems with drive shaft. Moreover this pedal is one of the best pedal at low cost!
