The Phantom

Prices & availability are listed here: ONLINE STORE

The highest standards in terms of functionality, precision and design have also been uncompromisingly implemented in the Phantom.

Each pedal is unique and is machined and assembled by hand here in Austria to guarantee that the quality requirements are met 100%.

The Phantom was developed based on the tried and tested running characteristics and geometry of the Darwin. The basic idea here is to retain the basic adjustment options, such as beater angle, footboard angle and spring tension, but also to dispense with the very complex modulation options of the cam geometry that the Darwin also offers. It is designed for those who like to customize their pedal but don't want to get lost in countless options. A “simpler”, yet uncompromising alternative.

Reduced but well-thought-out solutions have simplified the entire production and assembly process, making it possible to achieve a more attractive price.

Essential setting options are retained:

 - Independent beater/footboard angle adjustment

 - Strap drive or direct drive (can be changed using optional kits)

 - Short or longboard possible (can be changed with optional kits)

 - Single and double pedal available

 - Double pedal can also be played as two single pedals

 - Symmetrical construction

 - Individual design (choice of black or silver footboard, optionally with laser engraving)

The Drive Options

Strap Drive:

The strap drive offers a smooth, fluid feel. The drive force is transmitted via a round cam, making the pedal pleasantly easy to control. The best option for anyone who prefers a natural feel with lots of control.

Direct Drive:

The Direct Drive offers a non-linear feel. The drive force is transmitted via a ball-bearing aluminum link, whereby both tension and compression loads are transmitted directly from the footboard to the beater. A proven option for anyone who wants to bring their speed to the limit by taking benefit of the refined geometry.

Footboard:

Short Board: The classic geometry

The footboard is divided into a movable and a fixed part, the heel block. Due to the shorter lever, this variant tends to offer a more “massive” feel.

Long board: When you want a little more

The total length corresponds to the sum of the short board and its heel block. Due to the longer lever, it plays more light-footed and offers room for experimentation. 

Hoop clamp:

Simple but reliable is the motto here. No tedious screwing with the drum key or fumbling around under the foot board. Set the width of the hoop once, then simply press the lever and you're done. The hoop clamp can also be adjusted lengthwise to achieve the optimum distance to the bass drum head and the most parallel contact possible with the beater. Thanks to the 3-point rubberized grip points, the pedal stays securely in place without slipping or damaging the hoop.

Spring geometry:

The experience gained from the development of the Darwin pedal was significantly incorporated here and so the Phantom also allows the spring tension to be adjusted via a slider that is easily accessible from the side.

Thanks to the special geometry, the pedal “sticks” to the foot even with low spring tension.

It is also possible to switch between regular and heavy springs (optionally available) in just a few simple steps. 

Beater:

The pedal is delivered by default with the Dynamic Beater and regular weighted plastic (POM) surfaces. The Dynamic Beater is a construction from aluminium with an optimized geometry and interchangeable rear weights and surfaces. 

The n+1 beater is also available as an option (please mention it during checkout or email me after ordering if you prefer a different beater or beater surface)

Phantom Hardcase (optional):

To provide the best possible protection during transportation, we also offer a matching hard case. The pedal fits perfectly in the case without flying around loose; spare parts can also be stowed safely. Thanks to the laser-cut foam inserts, everything stays securely in place.
