Gibraltar Hardware 5611

General

Gibraltar's 5611 Prowler is an excellent bass drum pedal for starting drummers. The dual-surface beater of the Prowler is driven by a Single Chain CAM drive system - common for most bass drum pedals - and thanks to a ROCK plate with a Velcro base the Gibraltar pedal stays securely in place while you're playing.

The Gibraltar 5611 can be easily attached to your bass drum by means of its Rocker Hub. The screw that secures the pedal is located on the side, so it's easily accessible. Instead of the usual wing bolt, you can use a drum key to fasten the pedal, ensuring a tight connection that won't come undone easily. For tonal diversity, the Prowler has a dual-surface beater with a felt side as well as a synthetic side - use the latter for a louder sound with more attack. All in all, this Gibraltar 5611 Prowler is a great entry-level single bass drum pedal for beginning drummers on a budget.
