The Mapex Falcon design was influenced and road tested by a team of drummers looking for an incredibly smooth feel. But they wanted more than this, they needed it to have simple adjustability. The settings are dialed in at the factory, so it feels good right out of the bag. To make it work for your specific style, you only need to make minor adjustments. That means more time playing and less time adjusting.

Features

The interchangeable drives (sold separately) allow players to purchase only one pedal, but still have the freedom to experiment. You can experience the differences between chain, strap, and direct drive feels. It also enables double-pedal players to use different drives for each pedal to balance the feel between the left and right feet.
