New Gemini 241 Double Bass Drum Pedal

July 11, 1997 -- Gemini Percussion Systems Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of the Gemini 241 double bass drum pedal. This unique and innovative product lets drummers play double bass patterns with one foot (toe and heel) while allowing complete high-hat freedom with the other foot. This is made possible by our inventive and patented (design patent in place, world wide patent pending) approach of the completely independent heel and toe mechanisms mounted on a single chassis.

The Gemini 241 drum pedal is the result of five years of intense ergonomic consideration, constructed of high-tech heat-treated aluminum alloy throughout and CNC machined to ISO 9000 specs. The Gemini 241 was designed by a drummer for drummers.

Patterns and syncopation's are obtainable in a very short period of time by professional and amateurs alike. This amazing pedal will revolutionize drumming capabilities, thus introducing a new era in percussion history. Gemini Percussion Systems Inc. is located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (across the river from Detroit, Michigan) a hot bed of high-tech manufacturing and tool & die companies which support the automotive industry. Windsor is also home of the 1997 car of the year, the Chrysler mini-van.
