Price performance leader for sure!
I bought this pedal about 3 month ago and so far this has been really good choice. I am quite new to drums and have used only two double bass pedals so far. (I started to play like 5-6 month ago). My first pedal was a bit cheaper than PD-222 Pro but quality was terrible.
I have played on my teachers DW-5002 and i can say that Feeling was not so different as from PD-222, therefore price performance ratio on PD-222 is awesome.
There are some minor cons so far that i have found. 1) Attachment to BASS drum can get tricky, it feels like that hook is not symmetrically in the middle from both beaters. (Can be adjusted a bit). 2) It sometimes gives out barely noticeable squeaking sound on left pedal. 3) It is quite tricky to remove springs from double pedals for transporting.
Pros: 1) All metal parts and easy to adjust even on the fly. 2) Price
Overall as i am quite new and don`t have huge experience with double bass pedals i can not suggest it for pro players, but it is definitely worth that money for beginners and intermediate players!
I could not find one better pedal for that price!
I will update or write new review if in future my thought`s will change!

Very good quality
Excellent quality for a fair price.
As this is a Thomann brand product I expected maybe a lower quality for that price! I was very surprised to find a DB pedal with such a good quality.
I bought this double pedal for an electronic drum kit (Yamaha DT532k). It fits perfectly on the kick drum pad. You can adjust the length to make a shorter distance between the two pedals, which is important for a "home drum kit".
Of course you can adjust the spring tension for both pedals and even with the strongest tension the pedals remain smooth to play.
Conclusion:
+ Price
+ Overall quality
+ Easy to adjust (for beginners too)
- For acoustic drum set I'd advice a more expensive DB pedal
Thomann: As usual shipping very fast.

Nice double bass pedal
Very easy to setup and get going. The red colour adds a bit to the overall kit experience. Looks solid

The best choice for the price
i recently decided to move into double bass drum pedal.
im playing for a couple of years im not a pro so i just wanted something good for a beginner, but not expensive. So with the help from other reviews i finally chose this excellent pedal.
it came in perfect condition with a quickly setup manual. it was very easy to install it, in about 20 minutes max it was all done. You just need more time to adjust everything, from the angle of the two beaters and the distance from the bass drum, you will have to find the comfortable distance between the two pedals (and dont forget how to place hi hat pedal too). Anyway i started playing and first thing i noticed is how stable the pedal feels and the sound of two beaters is perfect.
In the future i wlll add my opinion about durability but i think i wont have any problems.
So if you are a beginner or an amateur like me and you want something really good but dont want to spend a little fortune, dont search for something else. This is your best choice, Thanks Thomman !!

I Love It.
This pedal really surprised me, I don't know what I was expecting when I bought it about 7 years ago, but it continues to be my pedal of choice to this day. It's sturdy, it's good quality, and has all the necessary features (drum key, adjustable beater angle, velcro bottom with adjustable spikes).
Eventually I will most likely upgrade but for gigging and practice, I am very happy with this pedal, perfect for price/quality.

A good choice to begin with, it needs some TLC if you play fast
This is my first double pedal and I have been using it since March 2022.
I bought it to develop my double bass skills and that's exactly what I used it for, playing it every day for 30-60 minutes at increasing tempos as I progressed. The pedal worked fine until the pin of one of the 2 cardans on the drive shaft broke and the cardan itself came apart. This was not a show stopper as you can re-use the broken pin (it is a specialty item) and prevent it from coming loose again (wrap the cardan in duct tape). Now, the pin of the second cardan broke as well and it will need to be fixed. If you look at those pins, it is no surprise they will eventually break. I will spend some time and replace both cardans with better units. So, not a bad product but not as durable as it should be without some modifications. It could definitely use better cardans on the drive shaft.

good for beginners
insgesamt eine gute qualität für wenig geld, viele features wie zB da sie als 2 solo pedals genutzt werden kann, bei bedarf. als Double pedal ist sie etwas träger auf der linken seite aber spielbar. gut geeignet als einsteigerinnen modell. bin als Drumerette im Metal bereich unterwegs und brauchte etwas zuverlässiges und billigers und bin hier fündig geworden, hatte sie zuerst als Double pedal genutzt dann hab ich später eine 2te bass bekommen und sie dann als 2 solo pedals genutzt, bin sehr zufrieden gewesen damit. im gegensatz zu den pedals die ich aktuell nutzte sind sie etwas schwergängiger aber es hinkt diese pedals mit der speedcobra 910 zu vergleichen deshalb lass ich es. für den schmalen preis bekommt ihr eine gute FuMa . klare kaufempfehlung von mir bei dem preis eine gute wahl, kannste nix falsch machen
