Simpler, Smoother, and Stabler Than Ever

The original Perfect Balance kick pedal was all about simplicity and economy of motion. And what could be simpler than a noncollapsible design and a standard hoop clamp? The Sonor Perfect Balance Standard single bass pedal picks up where the Jojo Mayer signature model left off. Its strap-controlled round cam and beater hub mechanism provide a smooth, linear throw and lightning speed to pull off those Mayer-esque triples and heel-to-toe sixteenths. New for the Perfect Balance Standard is a redesigned heel plate bearing, which reduces play and further increases smoothness. If you’re looking to cop some of Mayer’s flair and panache but don’t need the collapsible design or self-aligning hoop clamp, then be sure to check out the streamlined and well-priced Sonor Perfect Balance Standard bass drum pedal through Sweetwater.

Low-mass linear drive design

Nothing beats the intimate connection you get from a linear-drive kick pedal like the Perfect Balance Standard from Sonor. One of the coolest parts of this pedal’s mechanics is the integrated drive cam and beater hub, which brings down the mass. This results in an almost perfectly linear stroke, which is killer for translating your playing dynamics. Coupled with the lightweight and virtually indestructible ballistic-fiber strap, the Perfect Balance Standard kick pedal is everything a technical drummer could ask for.

Longboard design yields extra leverage

One of the few complaints Sweetwater drummers have about linear kick pedals is that they can make it tough to generate enough power for heavy musical passages. Not so with the Perfect Balance Standard kick pedal from Sonor. Its longboard design gives you plenty of room for pedal slides and power strokes. Whether you prefer a finessed heel-down technique, a heavy heel-up, or some combination of the two, you’ll appreciate the Perfect Balance Standard’s elongated footboard.

Sonor Perfect Balance Standard Kick Drum Pedal Features:

  • Picks up where the Jojo Mayer signature left off
  • Non-folding design is simpler and stabler to set up
  • New heel plate reduces side-to-side play
  • Now with a standard manual hoop clamp
  • Linear-action kick drum pedal that’s ideal for technical drummers who demand expressive dynamics
  • Low-mass combination round drive cam and beater hub deliver carefully calibrated strokes
  • Lightweight ballistic-fiber strap decreases drive inertia for a fast and smooth response
  • Use toe, heel, or hybrid playing technique on the elongated and smooth footboard
What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

DAGGONE!!!
You're still asleep if not playing this pedal!
Bettah getcha one

Amazing!!
Absolutely love it! This pedal is so perfect, hence the name. Very easy to adjust, and the belt is indestructible. The head bends before the belt does when I press down. It's just amazing. Very very smooth action, and it had way more power than I expected from a belt drive with a round cam. The bearer is great, the the drawstring bag is a nice touch.

Poor quality Springs
I have two of these Sonor pedals. I like them. The only issue had is with very light springs that don't match the weight of the beater even fully tension imho. I had to replace springs with Tama regular Iron Cobra springs.

Great right out of the box!
This pedal was perfect ( for me) right out of the box. I've done 300+gigs with it. It's still perfect. Buy it! SL8

Sonor PB-STANDARD Jojo Mayer Perfect Balance Standard Single Bass Drum Pedal
Over the past 50 plus years, I have tried an endless number of pedals. This one, is by far the fastest pedal I have ever used. Light to the touch and great for heel down players. Easy to feather and simple to adjust. Great investment.
