It's $199.

Here are the pics.

I don't know why they didn't open up the slots on the new Rogers pedal. Seems like the hollows will become dirt collection spots to me.

I bought one of the Tama pedals. It's immediately familiar to anyone who's used the swivo pedal with the same adjustments, just more "refined" if you will. It has beater height and chain length markings for use with 18, 20, & 22" drums.

It's very lightweight, easily adjusted, super smooth and responsive.

I also like the way it folds for transport.

The only things missing are the strap drive and the pivoting footboard (which I guess you can't do with a chain drive).

It's also less than 1/2 the price of the new Rogers.

I was thinking about checking out the Tama pedal. Do you find it's as smooth as the Camco reissue or the Iron Cobra ? It looks very solid, and having played many Tama pedals over the years, i've always found that not only were the smooth and quick, but could take a beating. I guess i'll try one at my local music store drum shop and see for myself.

Rob - My only points of comparison are the 45 yr old Rogers pedal in the pics and a couple DW5000s.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well built it feels, especially for a sub-$100 pedal. I've only had it a few weeks so I'm still playing with the tension. It is smooth. I also like the all-felt beater as it has way less mass than a plastic/felt one and so I feel like it has less momentum to overcome, if that makes sense, so the tension can be lighter.

I guess the pedal is part of the new Tama lightweight hardware line which I've seen lots of good reviews on. One other thing I noticed was that the box says "single pedal" on it so maybe a dual is coming?

The Tama pedal looks great. Also like the look of the Rogers. Who is making the new Rogers pedals. Personally myself ill be sticking to my double 900P Iron Cobras. I use them either as single or double pedals, cant fault the quality. I personally think in todays market that Tama and DW pedals are the most popular.

Thanks for the review , i really appreciate it. I'm definitely gonna give this pedal a try. I saw the whole collection of the classic hardware line from Tama and they all look great. I'll also be looking into the snare stand. I like the fact that it's lightweight yet sturdy enough to handle large snare drums and will also accommodate smaller diameter snare drums, like my 5x12 Sonor maple snare drum. The other feature i think is great is the fact that it's not a flat base tripod, making it easier for set up and placement. This is what i think Tama should have done with their classic hi hat stand. If they did that, i'd definitely be picking one up.

Cheers,

Rogers is making Rogers... Rogers belongs to Reliance... who make most of everything.

Thanks ploughman for the answer of who is making rogers pedals/drums.
