"Janus: best double bass money can buy"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
a great product at a great price. What's not to love?
Sound
the sound is in a quality of its own. when u put zildjian a custom hats on it, the structural quality shows, as the trani holds little to no vibrations.
Features
the best part about janus is that u don't have to think about where u placed your double base foot pedal. Instead of slipping your foot onto another pedal, sometimes causing error, you simply click your foot over and use the double bass function. Why didn't they think of this before?
Quality
it is made of quality materials. Mine has shown no trouble and seems structurally sound for years of play.
Value
compared to buying a whole hi-hat system and double bass system seperately, the $350 I spent was money well saved
The Wow Factor
everyone who is anyone should try this system, i think they would switch over if they knew how well it played

"Superb, Strong, Sexy, Something Elce!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is gunna last a long time, It's lasted long already but it should be untill mapex release another bright janus hihat system that i get rid of this!
Sound
It's got a great sound when used with almost any decent cymbal, the trani cymbal washer lets the cymbal vibrate freely ALL the time, unlike compacted old felts.
Features
Common, what more could u ask for, this is the best piece of engeneering i've seen for years. You cut down on space, it's lighter to carry then an extra left pedal and it's VERY strong, mines lasted 16months of hard metal pedalling.
Quality
Well.....Hummmm.....it's superbly strong, and as with all mapex hardware, very, very sexy!
Value
Value for money, yes it's great. Value in terms of general expense, quite steep and offputting for less experienced drummers i immagine. Should be in a prace range available to all so they can all groove with it.
Manufacturer Support
Not needed to contact Mapex about anything regarding drums or hardware an d i've been using their products for over 20 years!
The Wow Factor
Yes, Yes, Yes...Fully recommended!!!!!!!!!
