BEST SINGLE PEDAL IN EVER! Product Review: Ludwig Atlas Pro (Music Advice)

[@rafaelestrada1846]

I just saw another video about the Atlas, and I can say for certain you will love the Speed Flyer if you enjoy your Atlas. I recommend adding one to your collection

[@DRUMNERD]

Howdy Rafael, with such absolute glowing review from you; I'll be doing some serious research into this flyer. Is it quite a smooth feeling pedal? Again, thank you kindly for the recommendation.

[@rafaelestrada1846]

@@DRUMNERD super smooth and natural. But it delivers serious power if you lay into it

[@DRUMNERD]

@@rafaelestrada1846 That sounds like everything I personally want in a pedal. You gave me goose bumps now looking into this pedal :P

@@rafaelestrada1846 Watching a NAMM video on it bow and damn it looks delicious! Very similar in look to the atlas you're right. Thanks for showing me this gem :)

[@rafaelestrada1846]

You should try out the Speed Flyer. I just got one and it's so sweet. Looks like it's actually pretty similar to the Atlas.

Hi Rafael, thanks for the tip. I've never heard of the speed flyer but will be sure to check it out now that you've suggested it. Hopefully you're well :)

Not easy at all but the 60s have a fun vibe not strict at all just free flowing music but every decade had its greats even now the 2020s have great bands haha ^^

[@DRUMNERD]

Pianiste, hopefully you're doing well :) You're very correct in selecting the 60's they seemed to have had so much greatness in all aspects, outside of music included. It's such a hard question that never could truly be answered. Be well

@@DRUMNERD you too :)

[@rainsong7327]

Is there a big difference between the Atlas and Atlas Pro pedal? Thanks

[@DRUMNERD]

Good question :) I would say there are a few things different including - Atlas isn't equipped with both front and rear spurs (to keep it from sliding) it's cam (where the chain attaches seems to be a shallower curve (seemingly less force then produced) it also seems to not have a beveled hoop clamp (where the pedal mounts the bass drum). This being a standard rectangle shape has the potential to warp or in the least, chip away at the bass drum hoop. The other mention is the locking device is a wing nut to the side on the pro, making tightening to said hoop easier. Lastly, the classic to my knowledge dose not come with a spare chain and strap alternative (this gives a smoother stroke). Hope this nerdy ramble helped. Be well.

@@DRUMNERD Im sorry i meant the Atlas Pro vs the Speed Flyer. Im thinking the Speed flyer is just another name for the Atlas Pro? They look the same. Thank you

[@DRUMNERD]

@@rainsong7327 ah in that case if it’s not the same it might be the newer version of the old speed king. If that’s the case there is very little modulation with it (if they kept it true to the original) but the foot board is the traditional way they made the speed king, the one on the atlas pro, where it bulges at the sides.

"what was the most powerhouse based decade for music?" what does that even mean?

[@DRUMNERD]

That means in your opinion; which decade had the most amount of amazing bands and artists.
