Gator 500 Series Single Bass Drum Pedal

Dynamic Precision: Gator Percussion 500 Series Single Bass Drum Pedal Robust Dual-Chain Drive and Custom Throw Adjustment

The Gator Percussion 500 Series (GP-BDP-500) Single Bass Drum Pedal is a professional, performance-driven kick pedal engineered for drummers who demand exceptional speed, power, and long-term durability. At its core is a premium dual-chain drive system paired with an adjustable round cam, delivering a natural, linear response that translates every nuance of your footwork with absolute accuracy. To fully customize your playing experience, the pedal features an independent beater angle adjustment that operates separately from the cam, allowing you to fine-tune the throw and rebound to match your exact ergonomic preference.

Advanced Velocity Control and Tonal Versatility

Designed to optimize your stroke dynamics, the GP-BDP-500 includes an adjustable locking tension spring equipped with direct-pull mounts that prevent spring twisting, ensuring ultra-smooth consistency. The beater shaft features an integrated memory lock that doubles as a adjustable counterweight, giving you the ability to alter the momentum and throw weight for added footboard power. For total sonic control on stage or in the studio, the upgraded dual-sided beater flips instantly to suit your musical needs:

• Felt Side: Projects a warm, full-bodied, and traditional bass drum thump.
• Wood Side: Projects a sharp, defined, and high-impact attack that slices cleanly through heavy mixes.

Rock-Solid Foundation and Hoop Protection

Weighing a substantial 5.8 lbs., this pedal is built upon a heavy-duty solid metal base plate that eliminates flexing and movement under heavy use. The base is outfitted with slip-resistant rubber pads and adjustable metal anchor spikes to keep your pedal locked firmly in place on any stage carpet or floor. Up front, the spacious 9.5” footboard provides maximum leverage, while a convenient side-access, 3-point hoop clamp features thick rubber inserts to tightly grip and protect your wooden bass drum hoop from marring or scratching during fast setups and tear-downs.
