 Sonor Giant Step
This pedal is so expensive I dont care if it's the greatest pedal in the world I still wont buy it!
I could get a brand new drumset for that price! An Iron Cobra double pedals like 1/3rd the price!

Maybe cause Lang uses them as if that makes paying over900 bucks for a double pedal worth it!
Dont get me wrong Langs a great super coordinated player(maybe too coordinated)(suspicious) But I'm not buying those pedals!

Dude, I would question that price for any direct drive pedal.
Edit- Noting that those are not direct drives.

seriously, I'm trying real hard to spot anything that makes that pedal worth anywhere near that cash. except for the central beaters looks pretty standard/average.

Definitely not worth the price tag... I can't imagine that Sonor is selling a lot of these, but on the other hand, at that price tag, they really don't need to sell that many.

Ya, Sonor's hardware is so expensive its retarded. The Twin effect pedal is discontined cuz it was almost that much by itself. I've never even seen one anywhere so I have no idea why its priced like that.

Not worth it at all. the footboard looks like its 2 inches wide. I could buy everything on my want list for that much.
