Nine years on stage
I've bought this pedal nine years ago in 2007 at Treppendorf when I worked as a musician in Germany. Since then I use this pedal even today and I had to replace only one spring during nine years. I play hard rock, heavy metal and of course practice many different type of grooves.
An extremely well made pedal for it's price as you see, even in long term use. But for serious metal music (death, thrash, nu or black) I cannot recommend them.

Great quality for money
I bought this as a gift for my friend who recently started drumming. He plays very hard, so I was looking for a sturdy pedal that could take a beating. I tried this pedal out before giving it to him, and I was very impressed with it. Feels great to play, easily adjustable, an all round great pedal to use.

Good experience for my first kick pedals
These were my first set of pedals, so don't have any prior experience. That being said, I did have a hard time setting this up. I couldn't follow the instructions to set it up, as the pieces didn't fit together as explained. I managed to get everything working great, but had to figure it out on my own. After a couple weeks of usage, the spring on the main kick is starting to squeak though.

Very customisable
This is a great first pedal and double pedal for beginners to use. You can adjust everything on both sides all around and the beaters are double sided.
What I ended up doing later on was using them both as separate pedals on different kits so I could leave one at my practice kit at home and one at band practice, which you don't get with any other double bass pedals.
What I have found though is the plastic holding the spring in place at the bottom wears away and the screw no longer keeps the bottom part from turning and coming loose. That's from 2 years ago and I've already got a more professional kick pedal now and it just needs something to hold it in place like an elastic band.

Absurd value for the cost
This is good-quality double base pedal that, in my opinion, has the best possible value-to-money ratio in the world.
Pros:
+ Very cheap (cheapest pedal on thomann that is actually a double bass pedal)
+ Awesome red glossy base
+ Straps that stick the pedal to carpet
+ Works fine for me, did not have to make any replacements
Cons:
- Limited adjust-ability: There are 3 positions you can adjust it: 1 the tension of the spring, 2 the height of the beater, 3 the angle of the beater with the default ring position
- Feels a bit rough and double hit (with one foot) can sometimes be tricky
I would not recommend for very professional situations due to the fact does feel a bit cheap (in the sense of the easiness to pull off techniques). But I would recommend for anything other than that.
I am currently using it with my e-drums and it really serves its purpose excellently.

Really positively surprised of their quality for such a low price. Don't know how they'd perfor on an acoustic kit, but for an e-kit they've surpassed my hopes a million times. Been using them for 4 years and counting and they are showing no sign of breaking. The feel is REALLY bad compared to "proper" pedals, and I'd never use these live or even rehearsing, but for your personal training this price is unbeatable.

Good for the money
I know millenium are far from the best quality on most products, and I'm not the most experienced drummer but these pedals have a nice response, you can really play fast with them, they seem pretty solid and they have a velcro strip on the bottom to stop them sliding about.
If you want that bit of extra quality you gotta pay for it, but for the price these do perform pretty damn well.

Decent performance for a great value
Really good quality for the price.
As this is a Thomann brand product that I got as part of a bundle I expected quality to be lower, but I have to say I was surprised to find this was not the case!
If you are on a budget, or a beginner looking to start using double pedals, then I would highly recommend.
