Taye, in an ever-increasing effort to make a bigger splash in the drum market, has released two new pedals. Nothing special at first glance, however, I’m a big fan of Taye and I think the company will continue to get better and better as the years go on.

New for 2009 is the PSK701C single pedal and PSK702C double pedal. This new pedal brings a new level of toughness in the texture coated frames; the sleek new spring assembly, an adjustable stabilizer plate, and adjustable connecting rods. You have maximum adjustability by being able to adjust the angle of the beater, adjusting at the spring assembly, and the height to make sure the beater finds that sweet spot on your bass drum.
You want a lot of power without emptying your wallet? Well, you can take the PSK701C single pedal for $159, retail, and double it up with the PSK702C for only $349, retail.

This makes me drool. Taye's unveiling a new finish for their BeBop kits. This classic walnut finish is seriously mouth-watering. Maybe it's because I've been playing and listening to a lot of jazz recently, but my favorite part of this kit besides the finish is the 18"x14" kick drum. Looks marvelous. Bet it sounds great too! Always been impressed with how Taye's kits sound. They do great work.

Good things in the works from our friends at Taye (pronounced TIE). Their new Studio Birch kit looks amazing. Taye makes great drums. I remember being very impressed with Jim Payne's Taye kit at PASIC 2006. What I think is interesting is that they have several different bass drum sizes. 24" x 16" would be awesome!

Why don’t these companies ever put a traditional rounded felt beater on their pedals anymore? There are still some of us who don’t want our bass drums to sound like a gun shot!

You make a good point, Terry. I’d prefer a round beater too. Lighter, better sound, better look. Sounds good to me! Of course, there was a time when I despised the round beater.
You’d think the rounded felt beater would be the default one that’s in the box, leaving people who want a non-traditional sound to seek out the myriad other types.
