News: Mapex Puts the Pedal to the Metal with New RAPTOR Direct Drive Pedal

Mapex Drums introduces the RAPTOR Direct Drive drum pedal. Combining the best features of each assembly, the durable steel linkage has the accuracy of a direct drive while maintaining the classic feel of a chain drive.

"The Direct Drive RAPTOR is the only pedal that mixes the appeal of a direct drive with the feel of a chain drive," says Joe Hibbs, Product Manager for Mapex. "We have incorporated many of the key features from our popular Falcon pedal into the new RAPTOR pedal, including a beater with interchangeable weights, smaller pedal footprint, and floating spring assembly."

The new RAPTOR pedal will be available in a Single Pedal , and Double Pedal and includes a foot pedal bag.

The Mapex RAPTOR drum pedals are available now at Mapex Drums dealers nationwide.
