Sonor Perfect Balance Standard Single Bass Drum Pedal

The Sonor Perfect Balance Standard Single Bass Drum Pedal takes the innovative design of the Jojo Mayer signature pedal and simplifies it.

Perfect Balance Simplified

In basic terms, the Sonor Perfect Balance Standard Bass Drum Pedal is a simplified version of the Jojo Mayer Signature model.

Maintaining the perfect balance philosophy at the centre of the Mayer model, this standard version removes the sophisticated design features that some may find unnecessary to leave a super simple kick pedal.

The pedal doesn’t fold like the signature version and doesn’t utilise the self-mounting clamp mechanism, there’s no laser engraved heel plate or lacquered footboard and the carry case is nylon instead of leather.

But the pedal retains the carefully calibrated system that optimises the linear translation of your foot movement to ensure the Perfect Balance between forward and backward beater motion.

Drive Philosophy

The Sonor Perfect Balance Standard pedal, just like the signature model, centres around a design that combines the beater hub and the cam to eliminate unnecessary mass on the drive shaft.

This drive philosophy streamlines the beater and the cam into one single unit allowing the pedal to achieve perfect calibration between the spindle weight and the weight of the footboard.

This results in a single bass drum pedal that offers a superbly balanced feel for strokes that are smooth from start to finish.

The use of a round cam ensures a kick pedal with a linear acceleration that means it takes the exact same amount of time for the beater to move towards the head as it does for it to return.

Providing major advantages when it comes to playing different hybrid playing techniques, this drive design allows you to work with the bass drum pedal, instead of against it, to achieve the most responsive and smooth feel possible.

Single Post Design

The majority of bass drum pedals have a two-post design, with a post at either side of the foot board, but the Perfect Balance pedal instead utilises a single post construction to prevent restriction of movement.

This single post design accommodates unimpeded, limitless movement to allow you to play various foot techniques including heel toe and sliding.

In addition, the footboard of the Sonor pedal is elongated and features a smooth surface to provide an extended range of movement and added leverage to the pedal strokes.

The result is a single bass drum pedal that works with your playing style to deliver a smooth and responsive playing feel.

Independent Hoop Clamp

While the Sonor Jojo Mayer Perfect Balance pedal features a self-clamping design, this standard version utilises a simplified version.

The independent hoop clamp provides a strong and secure grip of your bass drum hoop to ensure solid and reliable pedal placement throughout your performance.

The clamp is tightened with a standard wingnut which is easily accessible because of the single post design and the clamp mechanism itself is wide enough to accommodate all standard bass drum hoops.

Ballistic Fiber Strap

Just like the signature version, this Sonor Perfect Balance single pedal is fitted with a ballistic fiber strap to minimise inertia and provide a smooth feel.

The lightweight durability of the strap ensures responsive feel and long-lasting use and offers a quicker and smoother response than chain and direct drive options.

Standard Screws

As with the Jojo Mayer signature pedal, this standard Sonor pedal is fitted with non-proprietary screws to ensure you’re able to find replacements quickly and easily.

That way if you discover you need replacement screws for your kick pedal you can visit any standard hardware store and you should be able to pick up spares cheaply and conveniently.

Nylon Bag

This Sonor Perfect Balance Standard pedal comes complete with a stylish bag to provide safe storage and convenient transportation.

Featuring a black nylon design and adorned with a white Sonor logo, the pedal bag is the perfect complement to this stylish, streamlined kick pedal.

Summary

Taking the style and innovation of the Jojo Mayer signature pedal and further simplifying it’s design, the Sonor Perfect Balance Standard pedal maintains the drive philosophy that makes the initial model so popular.

The linear cam and fiber strap combine to deliver a smooth and responsive playing feel, while the elongated footboard and single post construction ensure unrestricted movement to accommodate various playing styles.

Meanwhile the independent hoop clamp provides robust and reliable hold of your bass drum hoop to ensure a consistently comfortable playing position.
