I have a collection of pedals, mostly older “vintage” ones. They’re all great in their own way, from a practical standpoint. My favorites are my Yamahas, especially the single and double versions of the FP 860. They’re very solid and smooth, and they just do anything I need. I’ve tried other, more modern and advanced ones, but I always come back to the 860s. The thing about Yamahas is that they have a consistent feel from model to model, so it’s pretty easy to adjust a newer one so it feels familiar. The newest ones like yours are really nice. ( I like the chain drive ones), but they’re priced a bit out of my league for now.
Yeah, I played the FP 860 for a lot of years, which is why I figured the move to a modern Yamaha pedal would be pretty seamless - NOT the case. The differences in the design of the FP9 series are significant enough to make it feel foreign, even after hours of tinkering.
Yeah me too ... I love the feel of the chain drive compare to the direct drive ... Direct feels weird, and too light for me, so sometimes it's hard to control.
@@CoverBandDrummeri have one ..best pedal imo. I would put grip tape on it if I were you. I put speed cobra beaters on it , the added weight carries the beater so quickly with little effort. Good review by the way!
Well, I would certainly be willing to go with that description having tried them. The confusion is that nothing in Yamaha's documentation or their product description identify these pedals as "long boards." I typically see that term reserved for one piece footboards without a detached heel plate, but these are definitely longer than their previous models. Maybe they need to coin a new term for these! :) Thanks for watching!
@CoverBandDrummer some brands use the term "extended footboard" for this kind of pedals, like the Mapex Falcons. They commonly are one inch longer without counting the heel plate. DW has the XF version of their 5000 and 9000 models alluding this.

They sure look nice, though!😁
Thinking bout this or the dyna sync but since im a tama guy im leaning towards dyna sync

very helpful review thanks so much!
Not a bad asking price for these double pedals, considering what they. I’m considering the FP9C chain pedal single.
Thanks for this video. The thing with the board is an interesting aspect. Thx.
Had the single chain.: and just got the double direct:.. can't recommend it enough
Awesome review
Still selling pedal or already sold?
Still for sale. Haven't used them since I shot this.

That's why they're called "longboard" pedals. 😂🤣
