General
With the Raptor, Mapex aimed to make a bass drum pedal that would deliver the power and stability of a direct-drive pedal, but that would not sacrifice the feel of a chain-drive pedal. Furthermore, Mapex has fitted the Raptor with some of the technology found in their Falcon series, such as the torque-free spring mechanism for added smoothness. All in all, this is a pedal that provides speed and power, with the feel of a chain-drive pedal!
Mapex P900DTW Raptor direct-drive double bass drum pedal: features
The Mapex P900DTW Raptor double bass drum pedal is a high-quality pedal, and that shows. The first thing you'll notice, is its striking design. Not only does it look good, but its sleek appearance has an advantage: because of the smaller footprint, the slender pedal leaves plenty of room for your snare stand and hi-hat stand, and gives you more flexibility in creating the perfect set-up. Furthermore, the Raptor comes with the same handy bass drum beaters as the Falcon series, which have an interchangeable 10g beater weight, so you can fine-tune the feel of the beater even further.
Of course this high-quality pedal ensures that there is no lag between the main and slave pedals, providing the reliability you need. Finally, the direct-drive assembly has been designed to not just give you the power and control of a direct-drive pedal, but also emulate the feel that you can only get with a chain-drive. It's the best of both worlds!
