Gator Cases GP-BDP-500 500 Series Single Bass Drum Pedal

Gator Percussion 500 Series GP-BDP-500 Single Bass Drum Pedal is a durable, performance-focused kick pedal designed for drummers who want fast response, powerful attack, and dependable stability for rehearsals, studio sessions, and live performances. As part of the Gator Percussion 500 Series drum hardware lineup, this pedal features a premium dual-chain drive that delivers smooth, consistent response and long-lasting durability, giving drummers a balanced feel for both speed and power. The upgraded dual-sided beater provides two tonal options: use the felt side for a warm, rounded bass drum sound or switch to the wooden side for a sharper attack and added punch when you need to cut through the mix. The integrated memory lock on the beater shaft can also act as a counterweight, helping generate extra power with each stroke. A round, adjustable cam creates a smooth linear response that feels natural underfoot, helping drummers maintain control and accuracy during dynamic playing. The pedal also features an adjustable beater angle that works independently from the cam adjustment, allowing players to fine-tune the beater throw to match their preferred feel. An adjustable locking tension spring with direct-pull mounts helps prevent spring twisting, improving speed, consistency, and overall control. The heavy-duty solid base plate with slip-resistant rubber and adjustable spikes keeps the pedal firmly in place, even during aggressive playing. The footboard measures 9.5” from the toe stop to the hinge for comfortable leverage and control, while the side hoop clamp makes attaching the pedal to the bass drum quick and easy. Rubber inserts on the 3-point hoop clamp help protect bass drum hoops and prevent slipping. Weighing 5.8 lbs., the GP-BDP-500 delivers the strength, precision, and stability drummers need for reliable performance across a wide range of musical styles.
