Gibraltar Catapult Linear Motion drum pedal.

CONVENTIONAL BASS DRUM pedal designs utilize frames with cam drives attached to springs. In extended playing situations, this resistance often causes fatigue to the muscles of the lower leg and foot resulting in hindered playing and technique. Careful observation of the muscle groups used with a conventional style pedal showed that the return stroke or upward movement of the foot was accentuated by the return spring. This caused major resistance, hindering the natural motion of the ankle.

Gibraltar's Catapult Linear Motion pedal (GCLMSP) was designed to permit the extensor and flexor muscles to function naturally, allowing the ankle and corresponding muscles to utilize a full range of movement. The result--a remarkable increase in muscle comfort, endurance, and precision. The mechanical advantage of the GCLMSP is in total harmony with the biomechanics of the natural movement of the foot.
