Amazing pedal, great for beginners
Trick came up with a more entry-level approach to their innovative designs. VV1s were a bit steep on the pricing since I was looking for double pedal setup, which would have ended up costing me over 800 euros. For 600, I got these and I am very satisfied.
I find myself constantly adjusting the tension on my pedals (I'm a beginner and still learning the proper techniques), so having this option to adjust it from the top and being compression spring also eliminates all the sound that regular spring pedals do. I also have had back problems, so eliminating the need to go all the way down to the floor is a back-saver!
I practice at home with Tama's cushioned beaters to practice with low sound and before I was always a little annoyed by the sound that even the high end pedals did, because of the limitations in design. It's all gone now, I can practsice almost to no sound while these pedals are totally silent.
Also, putting myself first to direct drive instead of chain I think can have a strong positive impact on my learning and developing technique, as mistakes become more apparent right away because of the "directness" of the drive.
One feature which I would have hoped is to be able to change the drive to other types like chain or belt, to change on what feel or musical style the player is after, but this is a minor complaint. There could technical disadvantages to this that I am not aware of as a novice enthusiast.
They are build very solid, they are light, they're black and they have just the greatest lever for super easily and quickly attach and remove the pedal and it holds it place very well.
The beater isn't just looking quite cool, performs very well. Weight is good, the feel is great and the length: it's maybe an inch or 2-3 centimeters longer than my other beaters, and because it looks like it can hit 24" bass drum dead center, it's great news for anyone looking for that kind of setup to build (like myself).
One of the reasons for my purchase was the ability to adjust the angles of the beater and feet plate and look for my "own angles" to fit my feet. I think this feature will shine later on, now they are great at their default positions. Only thing missing I find is the ability to check the position of the overall "system". This is very hard to explain. But if I want to have the beater angles of the two pedals to mach each other, I have to take them and put side by side and carefully adjust. A more convenient option would be to have an added meter/gauge _relative_ to the rest of the pedal, as now the beater and the foot place are only relative to each other and not the pedal itself. So now way of check any "default" positions or set two pedals to mach without side-by-side comparison.
+ compression spring
+ silent operation
+ spring tension adjustable from the top
+ beater
+ adjustable angles of the beater and the foot plate
- missing a gauge to check the identical positions of two pedals
Overall, these pedals are an absolute 9.5/10!
