Bass Drum Pedals

What are some good SINGLE bass drum pedals?
I am looking for a really fast single pedal to work on my right foot technique. I love drumming to Zeppelin stuff but the current right side of my cheap double pedal isn't reacting fast enough for those "double bass type" hits. I was hoping some drummers could request some different pedals that they have had experience with that are very fast but also smooth and powerful. I looked into the Ludwig Speed King for a while but heard mixed reviews on it.
and with the speed king, I've heard the vintage ones are "better" than the new ones. Is this true?
I really would like to stay away from double bass overall and stick to just single for now.
some of the ones i was looking at were...
Tama iron cobra
Ludwig speed king (vintage or new)
Pearl eliminator
Thanks alot!!
Here are the best:
Iron Cobra: $119.99
Eliminator: $139.99
9000: $219.99
5000: $149.99

Trick Pro 1-v Double Bass Drum Pedal $739 The Trick Pro 1-V Detonator double pedal is in fact 2 fully functioning single pedals joined together as a double. The innovative design does away with the notorious sloppy action of standard slave pedals. By using two independent single pedals linked together with the advanced universal joint system, today's drummer can cover all the bases, in every possible playing scenario.The Trick Pro 1-V Detonator is an engineering marvel. It features innovative design elements, aerospace materials - titanium, billet aluminum, stainless and hardened steel - and is machined on the latest state of the art CNC equipment. These technical innovations result in one thing: A pedal that plays like no other.Compression Spring Technology The Pro 1-V Detonator utilizes an internally housed compression spring. Compression springs have the ability to cycle faster and utilize energy more efficiently. The benefit is a pedal that will react as fast as your foot. The compression spring works with the profiled cam follower to reduce the amount of spring tension build-up as the beater approaches the drum head; this gives you a more fluid stroke from beginning to end. Spring tension is adjustable while you're playing - simply turn the spring dial that is conveniently located within easy reach at the top of the main housing. Imagine no longer having to remove your pedal from the hoop to change tension settings.Independent Split-Cam System Because of the split-cam systems design, you can now change the attitude and attack of the pedal in seconds. Trick's fully independent split cam system allows the player to infinitely and independently adjust the beater from the drive cam angle with a 360-degree range of smooth yet solid settings. This system also allows for immediate conversion of the Pro 1-V Detonator into a cocktail kit pedal or a triggering pedal.Multi-Position Stroke Adjustment Cluster This three position cluster is an integral part of the sophisticated geometry at work on the Pro 1-V Detonator. It gives the player separate adjustments for the footboard angle, pedal action and throw. This feature is patent pending.Beaters Universally adjustable, the Pro 1-V Detonator Bass Drum Beaters can be easily moved to any height/angle along the titanium shafts within seconds by using a standard size drum key. This allows the beater to strike your desired location on any sized bass drum without radically affecting the overall pedal feel. Hard/Soft surface change-out options are also included with beaters.Footboard The Pro 1-V Detonator footboard is machined from solid billet aluminum that is rigorously fracture tested to 12,000 pounds per square inch. The footboard is attached to the heel plate using a pressed-fit hardened solid steel pin which is extremely reliable and durable.Base Plate - The Pro 1-V Detonator base plate is machined from solid billet aluminum. This provides the Pro 1-V Detonator with an ultra sturdy platform on which everything else is built. The base p |
