The Fantastic Rogers Swivomatic 395R Bass Drum Pedal. Condition is "Seller refurbished".
"This pedal does for drumming what power steering does for driving."  That's how one top drummer put it!  This is a dream pedal.  It adjusts exactly, completely to you.
Note these Swiv-o-Matic adjustments.  You adjust spring tension from the top--easily, instantly.  You swivel the footboard so you can play naturally, comfortably, no matter what the stage setup.  Special hinge keeps  the pedal seated flat on any floor.
Attachment to bass drums is unbelievably simple, won't slip or chew hoop.  Single stop take-down, and pedal folds into small compartment of trap case.
You can adjust length of stroke without changing beater height.  YOu can raise or lower beater action without changing length of stroke.

I refurbished this pedal as it was in need and I think it turned out nice.  It has new needle roller bearings (Koyo B-68, Full Complement, Drawn Cup, 3/8" x 9/16" x 1/2"), a new leather strap and the original spring.  All Aluminum pieces have been burnished and steel pieces are nickel plated for a hard, durable finish.  I have the old bearings and some other bits too left over I will send along just for kicks.
I re-bushed the rear of the pedal.  If it ever helps anyone, I used Carr Lane part number SG-26-6-2500.  Serrated Groove Bushing SG 1/4" x 13/32" x 3/8".  This thing is just the perfect little, slightly oversized on the OD replacement bushing. The original bushing also had a serrated OD.  I used shoulder bolts from McMaster-Carr--which was not precisely my favourite thing appearancewise--to get the clearance right between the bushing ID and the bolt OD.  I reamed the heel plate and placed the bushings and that went well.  On assembly there is enough of a stack-up that it's just a touch stiff, but will break in nicely with some time.  Very playable, but it's just that one tiny thing that annoys me.
Beater not included, apologies for including it in the photo, but it does looks nice that way.
I have one extra spring which is not original, but with the help of Lee Springs, we worked out the spring rate of the original, so that's a close match.
