Shop by Pedal Type

Single Bass Drum Pedals

Single bass drum pedals are best for drummers playing standard kit setups across rock, pop, jazz, and funk. Our single bass drum pedals range covers everything from reliable entry-level options through to professional-grade pedals used on world tours. The TAMA Iron Cobra 900 Power Glide Single Pedal is one of our most popular choices - best for drummers who want a fast, consistent stroke with a smooth power cam action.

Double Bass Drum Pedals

Double bass drum pedals are best for drummers who want to play fast, complex bass drum patterns without a second kick drum. Our double bass drum pedals range includes twin pedal configurations from TAMA, Yamaha, Mapex, Sonor, and more. The TAMA Speed Cobra 910 Twin Pedal is best for drummers who prioritise speed and rebound, with a long footboard design that suits a heel-up playing style.

Chain Drive Pedals

Chain drive pedals are the most widely used pedal type, offering a solid, connected feel between the footboard and beater. They are best for drummers who want a reliable, consistent response across a wide range of playing styles and volumes. The Yamaha FP9 Chain Drive Single Pedal is a standout option - best for intermediate to advanced drummers who want a premium chain drive feel with extensive adjustability.

Direct Drive Pedals

Direct drive pedals connect the footboard directly to the beater shaft with no chain or belt, delivering an immediate, low-latency response. They are best for drummers who play at high speeds and want maximum control and sensitivity. The Yamaha FP9 Direct Drive Single Pedal is best for advanced and professional drummers who want the fastest possible response with a natural, effortless feel.

Belt Drive Pedals

Belt drive pedals use a nylon or fabric strap instead of a chain, producing a lighter, quieter action with a smooth, even feel. They are best for drummers who prefer a softer touch or play in lower-volume environments. The Mapex Design Lab Swift Belt Drive Single Pedal is a great example of a modern belt drive pedal with a refined, responsive feel.

Signature & Specialist Pedals

For drummers looking for something unique, we stock signature and specialist pedals including the Sonor JoJo Mayer Perfect Balance Signature Folding Pedal - best for jazz and brush players who want a highly sensitive, balanced pedal action - and the Ludwig Speed King Pedal, a classic design best for vintage kit enthusiasts and players who love a traditional feel.

Bass Drum Pedals UK - Into Music Store

Choosing the right bass drum pedal is one of the most personal decisions a drummer makes. Unlike cymbals or drumheads, a pedal becomes an extension of your foot - its weight, spring tension, drive type, and footboard angle all shape how you play and how quickly you develop. At Into Music Store, one of the UK's leading independent drum retailers, we stock a comprehensive range of bass drum pedals from the world's most trusted brands, with expert advice available from our team of experienced drummers.

Single vs Double Bass Drum Pedals
A single bass drum pedal is best for the vast majority of drummers - it suits rock, pop, jazz, funk, blues, and most contemporary styles. A double bass drum pedal adds a second footboard connected via a drive shaft to the same bass drum, allowing complex, fast bass drum patterns without a second kick drum. Double pedals are best for metal, progressive rock, and drummers who want to develop advanced footwork. If you are unsure which to start with, a single pedal is the right choice for most players.

Chain Drive vs Direct Drive vs Belt Drive
Chain drive pedals use a metal chain (single or double) to connect the footboard to the beater. They offer a solid, slightly weighted feel with good rebound and are best for drummers who want a reliable, consistent action across all playing styles. Double chain drive pedals are more stable than single chain and are preferred by most intermediate and advanced players.

Direct drive pedals connect the footboard to the beater shaft via a rigid linkage with no chain or belt. The result is an immediate, low-latency response with no slack or flex - best for drummers who play at high speeds and want maximum control and sensitivity. Direct drive pedals are popular among advanced and professional drummers, particularly in metal and fusion styles.

Belt drive pedals use a nylon or fabric strap, producing a lighter, quieter action with a smooth, even feel. They are best for drummers who prefer a softer touch, play in lower-volume environments, or want a pedal that is gentle on the joints during long practice sessions.

Key Brands in Our Pedal Range
TAMA is one of the most respected pedal brands in the world. The Iron Cobra series - available in 600 and 900 configurations - is best for drummers who want a powerful, consistent action with a wide range of adjustability. The Speed Cobra series is best for drummers who prioritise speed and rebound, with a longer footboard and a unique spring coil system.

Yamaha's FP9 series is best for drummers who want a premium, highly adjustable pedal with a choice of chain or direct drive. The FP9 is used by professional drummers worldwide and offers one of the most refined feels available at its price point.

Mapex pedals, including the Armory and Falcon series, are best for drummers who want professional-grade performance at a competitive price. The Falcon in particular is best for advanced players who want a lightweight, fast pedal with a direct drive option.

Sonor's pedal range includes the Giant Step, the 2000 and 4000 series, and the iconic JoJo Mayer Perfect Balance - best for jazz and brush players who want a highly sensitive, balanced pedal with a unique spring mechanism.
