I agree with Tony that it's really more like a bass-drum than anything
else; at least that's what the product page suggests to me. Could be
pretty cool, and it's pretty cheap, even compared to those
spinet-style pedalboards.

There used to be an Italian Hammond clone which included a *single*
pedal for tapping in the classic Jimmy Smith uptempo style. If you
watch the footage of Jimmy Smith on, for example, the DVD Jazz Scene
USA, you can see clearly that he's really only hitting two or three
notes in the bass. Need full pedals for ballads and occasional
boosting of the foldback notes in the LH, though.
