Our 30-Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee applies on this item. Buy it, and if it isn't just right for you, return it!
Description
The Catapult Linear Motion pedal is designed to provide true response from the players' foot to the playing surface of the bass drum using natural ankle motion thus avoiding muscle fatigue. The mechanical advantage of the design is in harmony with the biomechanics of how the foot wants to work.

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.

Gibraltar's Catapult Linear Motion pedal was designed to permit the extensor and flexor muscles to function naturally, allowing full range of movement of the muscles and ankle. This results in a remarkable increase in muscle comfort, endurance, and precision in movement. The mechanical advantage of the design is in harmony with the biomechanics of how the foot wants to work.

Features:
Revolutionary simple linear motion design, no frames or cams

Provides true response from foot to playing surface

"the good and the bad of the Gibraltar linar motion catapult pedal."
Feature:
I love the bearing system it is very smooth, and the bag that comes with it is very nice. the only drawback with this pedal is that is is very big! this thing is HUGE!!! it sets you back from the set a inch or so more than usual, this could present a problem for set huggers.

Quality:
the product is made great, it is made by gibraltar, so you know it is used with the best materials. the only thing that might break on it is the spring when you push down on it the plate that you put your foot on hits the spring.

Value:
yes this product is definatly worth the money.

Desirability:
this is probrably one of the pedal's strongest points, it is EXTREMELY SEXY!!!!!

Sound:
The sound of this pedal is pretty good, it is definatly not for people who play any kind of metal, but rather people who play lighter rock, jazz, blues, etc.

Ease of Use:
this is very easy to use! if you take one finger with the spring tightened up all the way you can push it all the way down. it is extremely smooth! It will take a little while to get used to it, but once you do you will love it!

Support:
I have not dealt with gibraltar, so i can't honestly answer this.

Overall:
Buy this Pedal!!!
