I was searching for something that wuold mainly last for a long period, nothing too fancy, but I got waaay more than that. First of all this double pedal is sturdy as hell, but it doesn't feel bulky at all. The building materials are quite good and the double chain makes it very durable. As for the usability, it feels very smooth under the feet, but at the same time massive and powerful (in terms of shooting heavy strikes). I mainly play metal and I highly recommend it to both the ones who approache drumming right now and the more experienced. Just a really great product for the price range given on the website.
