Open Box TAMA Dyna-Sync Double Bass Drum Pedal Level 1

The pedal feels natural out of the box and is easy enough to adjust. I prefer this pedal to my DW9000, Iron Cobra, and Yamaha direct drive double pedals. There is however, one significant flaw. One of the screws on the driveshaft connecting to the pedal will not tighten all the way down. Somehow the thread has broken. This is the first time this has happened to any of my dbl bass drum pedals. The drive shaft disconnected during a show. I know it will again at some point, so I have to replace it. This seems sub-standard for one of Tama's flagship pedals.

This pedal can articulate better than any pedal I have ever used. I have played professionally and have used the gamut from a to z when it comes to pedals. DW makes an excellent product, however Tama has blown it out if the water with these pedals! Go buy these pedals!!!

The Dyna Sync is the best Tama pedal and better than any of the DWs available (when it comes to the way it feels). It has all the adjustment option you could ever need. Built quality is perfect. The ability to adjust pedal height independent of the beater angle is awesome. Being able to adjust the feel from straight up direct drive to chain drive and in between is awesome. I didn't give this a 5 star for two reasons: One, the beaters could be better. I wish this came with the Speed Cobra beaters. Second, the bass drum clamp is not centered. Its slightly off to the side. Depending on what type of bass drum you're using, this causes the beaters to not hit center . I have the new Alesis Strike kit and this causes one of the beater to hit just slightly where it needs to trigger properly.

Tama nailed the mark on their initial direct drive offering.
