A foot-operated bass drum pedal is disclosed with an axial means which rolls toward and away from the bass drum head. Means comprise of a shaft with pinions which rolls in a straight line along a horizontal plane provided by pinion racks resting in platforms supported by vertical standards. The shaft with pinions rolls toward the bass drum by depression of a pedal via linkage and rolls away from the bass drum by release of the pedal via tension springs thereby co-axially and cycloidally rotating a beater in and out of a vertical strike position.
