The first batch of new Sonor Perfect Balance Drum Pedals by Jojo Mayer arrived at the North American Sonor facilities today. Look for them to hit stores later spring 2012.

Check out this video we made today of the first one!

Over the past two decades, I acquired and played pretty much every pedal on the market. Unfortunately, I could never find a pedal that really worked for me. I found that compared to some legendary vintage pedals from the fifties, most contemporary pedals have plenty of speed and throw on the forward motion, but sluggish response on the beater return.

November 19,2011 Jojo Mayer performed at Milano’s Music in Mesa, AZ for a packed house. “Jojo was wonderful to work with and we couldn’t have been happier with the turnout!” said Tom Schulz, drum department manager at Milano’s.

Thanks to everyone at Milano’s for all the hard work and special thanks to Jojo for once again proving what an excellent player and performer he is!

Enjoy the pics!
