Rated 5/5

Very accurate Cabasa

The Meinl foot cabasa is pretty awesome. I bought it to fill the void of not having hi-hats while playing cajon. I really wanted something with better accuracy than strapping a shaker to my shoe and this pulls that off nicely. It's adjustable for single hits or up/down double time by a quick turn of the screw, so this can be done in seconds between or even during songs. The pedal itself does tend to want to lean to one side, due to the weight of the cabasa, but has never fallen over or affected my playing. I suppose if there were to be a version 2.0, I'd try to mount the cabasa more centered on the pedal. Either way, great instrument and super easy to use.
Music background: Been a drummer since '98, toured with well known 80's hair metal bands in late 2000's, still playing in multiple bands and melting faces with tasty beats.

Very Pleased

Am a working drummer so my setup gets moved several times each week.
Pedal is a nice sturdy. Low profile and very tidy unit.
Much nicer than LP's foot shaker pedal rig.
Music background: PRO
Rated 2/5

No double stroke

I hate to leave such a negative review but this thing is a bit of a piece of crap. The single stroke function works fine, I give it that. But the double stroke DOES NOT FUNCTION in any way. No, my pedal is not broken or badly adjusted; the design simply does not work and it is not even possible to mod it to work. To reiterate, no matter what the description says this pedal does not have double stroke function.
