“Every feature and adjustment has been engineered to make Falcon feel
as if it’s an extension of your foot,” said Joe Hibbs, R&D Manager
at Mapex USA. “Every artist that has tested this pedal has been able to
fine tune it to their liking within minutes — right out of the box.
Falcon is a pedal for the people. This is a pedal that can satisfy
virtually every drummer.”
Because the Falcon’s footprint is more compact than other bass drum
pedals, it’s easy to comfortably position between the hi-hat and snare
stands. The Falcon’s easy-to-reach, resistance-free Talon™ clamp
adjustment can be tightened with one hand from a seated position,
making set-up quick and easy, even in the tightest spaces.
The Falcon’s patented Talon bass drum hoop clamp features locking
claws that move independently from the pedal frame. Even if the bass
drum is pitched at a severe angle, the pedal remains flat to the floor
and securely clamped to the drum for the utmost comfort and security.
The Falcon is equipped with interchangeable cams to suit each player’s
individual style. The “Glide” cam offers an equal amount of inertia
from the beginning to the end of the stroke, while the “Pursuit” cam is
recommended for increased power and maximum impact. The reversible
beater head comes with interchangeable 10 gram and 20 gram inserts. By
choosing one of these weights (or playing without any additional weight
at all) the player can choose the desired degree of centrifugal force.
The Falcon’s footboard design provides the feel of a longer board
without the additional weight and mass. A lighter footboard provides
greater control with less fatigue and its uniquely sculpted profile
allows the players to position his foot at any angle and operate the
pedal with minimal expended energy, making even the most intricate
patterns seem effortless.
The footboard angle and beater angle are independently adjustable,
enabling the player to fine-tune the ideal combination of playing
comfort and force of stroke. The footboard and heel plate are hinged
using an exclusive sealed bearing mechanism that offers zero resistance
and secure operation with no lateral movement.
