The Catapult Linear Motion Single Bass Drum pedal is designed to provide true response from the player’s foot to the playing surface of the bass drum using natural motion to avoid muscle fatigue. Conventional pedal designs utilize frames with cam drives attached to springs. When the player presses down on the pedal board, the spring produces resistance, which promotes speed and power. However, in extended playing situations this resistance can cause fatigue to the extensor muscles of the lower leg and foot.
