The entire linkage between the two pedal mechanisms is made from machined aluminum (including the u-joints). You can pull the two beaters back and let them swing freely, next to each other, and it takes the left beater about ten swings through to start losing momentum to the point that it gets out of synch with the right pedal (in other words, the "action" is the same on both pedals, which allows using them equally).
That extra pedal out there hitting the tambourine used to be my primary pedal, until I got the 5000 series double pedal.
