Went from an Iron Cobra dual chain back in 2002 to an axis longboard direct drive in 2010 went back to my cobras in 2012 (axis wasn't for me) I just couldn't transition to it. I thought that this was it for direct drive pedals ,they just weren’t close to my understanding.Now in 2020 I decided to give Dyna sync a try. Transition to the new pedal was seamless. This pedal is a dream for me. I can just express myself without feeling that my pedal is on the way. Smooth,adjustable , straight to the point this new Tama pedal is the best I’ve personally tried. Also it is totally compatible with the Kd-10 kick pad.
