...I grew up playing a Premier 252. That pedal is the equivalent to a '57 Chevy Bel Air in weight and smoothness. (I still have it but it's broken)
In other words, your foot would definetly be worked out on that joka. I was always told that if you develop your foot correctly, you can play on any good pedal and some crappy ones. That's why all of the guys that I've spoken to about pedals advise me to work my foot out so that I can play on any pedal.
Yeah, I know.
Well, at the end of the day, it's not the pedal but YOU. You have to develop the muscles and develop control - you just happen to be doing that via of a pedal. Even though I'm not a gear-head, and find excessive talk about gear nauseating, I am not one to think any ol' drum kit will do. I've heard some seriously terrible drums. Perhaps they could be tuned to sound half-decent, but I digress. I've just noticed that most of the obsessive gear-head seem to be the less-skilled. Sort of like how many people who are obsessed with purchasing certain expensive cars/automobiles are so, because they're trying to compensate for something they lack within. That's NOT to say that everyone who loves great gear can't play, and everyone who likes nice automobiles are shallow, lol. I thought I should clear that part up before someone goes into cardiac arrest...
However, I've definitely noticed a pattern.
