Signature Pedal

Perfect Balance Pedals

The main philosophy behind this pedal is to achieve perfect harmony and interplay between the pedal’s moving parts and your foot. Due to careful design and perfectly balanced linear action any non-vital adjustments are obsolete and omitted on purpose. Other than the pedal’s folding and mounting mechanism, all adjustments such as spring tension, footboard height and beater angle are classic, industry standard solutions.

„The Perfect Balance Pedal is a carefully calibrated system that optimizes the linear translation of your foot movements and makes many adjustments expendable. It was designed with a principle in mind that reflects ultimate sophistication to me: Simplicity. Essentially, it could be described as the soul and feel of a vintage pedal reincarnated in the technology of a 21st century body.“

Low Mass Drive System

The drive cam and beater hub are streamlined into a single unit for low mass and carefully calibrated for perfectly balanced strokes. Round cam design creates linear acceleration which is a major advantage for many hybrid techniques.

Elongated Board

Elongated and smooth footboard adds more leverage to the stroke and allows extended range of movement for heel toe and sliding techniques.

Self Mounting Clamp

Quick mounts the pedal with a single motion. Clamp adjusts to all hoop thicknesses.

Ballistic Fiber Strap

Ballistic fiber strap minimizes inertia of the drive system and offers a quicker and smoother response than chain or solid drives.

Folding Mechanism

Folds the pedal into compact size for easy transportation in the included leather bag with the push of a button. For extended lifespan, the spring can be dislocated and secured with a magnet when folded.

PERFECT BALANCE STANDARD

What could be added to SONOR’s most successful bass drum pedal to make it even more successful? – Nothing. Simply, because the principle behind Jojo Mayer’s signature pedal is “Simplicity”.

But what if it was simplified a little more? No sophisticated folding and clamping mechanism, no laser engraved heel plate, no lacquered footboard, no leather carrying bag – just the plain carefully calibrated system that optimizes the linear translation of your foot movements, the perfect balance between forward AND backward motion of the beater, a feeling like the pedal plays by itself.
