When I first tried Canopus Speed Star ball bearing with my Yamaha Flying Dragon, I was really impressed! I mean, if you feel an instant improvement in the instrument you’ve been happily using for the last 15 years, isn’t it something?!

Speed star bearing really made a difference on my Pearl Eliminators. I really enjoy the extra smoothness, speed and sensitivity that Speed Star Bearing gives me on my old good Eliminators!

“Wow! Speed Star Bearing from Canopus is really a revolution. I tried it and immediately went back to using my DW 5000 pedal, which I had already forgotten about. Once more I would like to congratulate and thank Canopus for that.”

The innovative Canopus Speed Star Bearing
I love my bass drum pedals from the 80s and the innovative Canopus Speed Star made them feel better than ever. Less resistance gives the pedal a free and swinging action that is quiet, smooth, and powerful. The Speed Star made a dramatic difference in the action of my vintage pedals. Canopus continues to re-invent the most subtle of details that enhance the feel, tone and musicality of the drums. Products like the Bolt-Tight washers and the Speed Star Bearing are imaginative improvements that you can feel and hear!

I put one on my backup DW 7000 and it doesn’t feel like my backup anymore. Plays like a top end pedal! Much needed improvement over factory standard parts, completely night and day! Can’t wait to order one for my Pearl Eliminator.

The Speed Star is such a simple yet complex mechanism that can transform your pedal from ordinary to extraordinary, aiding you in being able to have more facility musically on the instrument.

I SERIOUSLY recommend all drummers check out the Speed Star Bearing. I’ve had one on my Pearl Eliminator for the last month – the improvement is AMAZING!
The pedal, which already felt good, was instantly smoother and easier to play. I can play faster and with more control and sensitivity.
It’s hard to believe such a small change, which is so simple to do, would make such a profound difference.

When I tried out my pedal on my kick drum with the Speed Star bearing I realised the return was significantly faster than with the pedal’s original factory fitted bearing, almost too fast.
I like a very light spring tension on my pedals and, at first, it was difficult to get the spring light enough for my technique, but after I adjusted the beater angle slightly this issue was rectified, in fact the tension was lighter then with my original bearing and the fast Speed Star bearing’s return was still intact.
My double, triple and 8th and 16th note kick drum strokes are faster and easier to execute with the new bearing.
A great bass drum pedal upgrade.
