Gibraltar 4711SC-DB Chain Drive Double Pedal

Chain-Drive Double Bass Drum Pedal for Fast, Controlled Double-Kick Playing

The Gibraltar 4711SC-DB brings the 4000 Series chain-drive formula to drummers who need a dependable double pedal at a working-musician price. Its single-chain drive produces the swift response that makes rapid double-stroke patterns feel natural, while the all-cast metal frame keeps the assembly light enough to haul between gigs. Setup takes seconds with the single key-screw hoop clamp.

What Sets This Double Pedal Apart in the Category

The adjustable connector drive between master and slave pedal lets you tune the slave-side response to match the primary pedal, eliminating the lag that plagues cheaper doubles. G-styled footboards pair with integrated heel plates, giving a stable platform for heel-up technique and a smooth surface for sliding the foot during fast passages. Two dual-surface beaters ship in the box.

Drive System and Frame Construction

The chain-drive mechanism and frame materials define how a double pedal feels under the foot and how long it survives on the road.

• Drive Type: Single chain — quick, fluid response with consistent feel across both pedals
• Frame Material: Steel (all-cast metal) — light for transport, resists flex under heavy playing
• Connector Drive: Adjustable — tune slave-pedal response to match the master pedal

Footboard Design and Beater Configuration

Footboard shape and beater options determine how the pedal responds to different techniques and how much tonal variety is available without swapping hardware.

• Footboard Style: G-styled with heel plate — supports sliding technique and stable heel-up positioning
• Beaters Included: Two dual-surface beaters — felt side for warm tone, plastic side for sharper attack
• Spring Tension: Easy-access adjustment — quick tuning without removing the pedal from the hoop

Dimensions, Weight, and Manufacturing
