I have had a couple Tama pedals over the years. Seem too heavy to me. I severely busted my leg down by my ankle and ever since then I have limited range of motion on the right foot. Now, I'm tired of fighting with my foot so am looking for something light and responsive - I think I'm going back to the Speed King. Great thread!!

Anymore Ghost users out there? This is a great pedal when set up properly...

I've used an Axis double pedal pretty much exclusively since 1993. The one I bought in '93 is on my Rogers kit as a single pedal (the slave driveshaft broke a few years back), and the second one I purchased in 2007 for my heavily gigged e-kit.

And I've been using a DW 5000 on the DW kit at my church since I started playing there in November.

Vintage kits:
1969 Rogers Holiday - black diamond pearl (20/16/13/12)
196x Star (Lyra/Majestic) - blue sparkle pearl (22/14/13) Restoration Project
1987 Pearl KC-3500 - jet black (22/16/13/12)
Not-so-vintage kits:
2007 Hart Dynamics Professional 6.4 e-kit / Roland TDW-20
Snares:
60s Gretsch 5x14 maple WMP / 68 Ludwig 5x14 Supraphonic / 93 Pearl 3x14 Free Floating brass piccolo / 60s Star (Lyra) 5x14 luan blue sparkle pearl / 87 Pearl 6.5x14 steel
