Ok, so I won’t beat around the bush – this pedal is epic. Finally, just to put the icing on the cake, all screws used on the pedal are a standard size Allen key with the thought being that if, for some reason you lose a screw on the road, any hardware store could accommodate you. This is obviously for a more portable pedal (it even comes with a bag), but the action of ‘opening’ the pedal to the playing position is actually combined with attaching it to the bass drum hoop in one action via the self-mounting clamp, which adjusts to any hoop thickness. The most amazing feature on the Perfect Balance is the ability to fold down at via the push of a button. The elongated footboard adds leverage, and is polished perfectly smooth to allow for extended techniques such as heel and toe or sliding. This is connected to a round cam for a perfectly balanced stroke (surprise, surprise). The Perfect Balance pedal features a low mass drive system where the drive cam and beater hub are made as one unit. Jojo wanted to create a pedal that had the same modern throw but the old school return motion that enabled an even faster stroke, because as a player, he himself couldn’t find a happy medium with current pedals on offer. Jojo Mayer describes the reasons for wanting the new pedal was the simple fact that modern pedals provide more throw, speed and power on the forward motion compared to that of older, vintage pedals. ![]() The philosophy is to keep the design smart and effective, to do what every pedal needs to, but also to keep things simple while doing it.
