PearlP2052C Eliminator Double Bass Drum Pedal-Chain Drive

Had an older set of Gibraltars I bought for around $300, they did the job but hard to get fast. Reading many reviews about higher quality double bass drum pedals many state it doesn't increase speed, that is why I never upgraded. WRONG, yes it's the drummer and practice but when you have 4 different cams, and all the adjustments on the redline it does makes it easier to go fast. Everytime I press down it snaps right back, my older pedals did not perform that well. Wish I would have done this sooner, and my band mates noticed immediately. Very very happy!

Dieses Drum Doppelbedal kann ich nur jedem Drummer empfehlen. Man muss nicht Unsummen dafür ausgeben, auch wenn dieses Teil nicht grade billig ist. Man hat auf jeden Fall alles, was das Drummerherz begehrt... es ist super leichtgängig, einstellbar und robust gefertigt!!Ich war schon mit dem Vorgängermodell zufrieden und dieses übertrifft es nochmal.Pearl macht einen ausserordentlich, guten Job!!groovy greetings

Just a great well made pedal.

I was playing on a DW7000 for many years. I then switched to the $600 Pearl Demon Drive (direct drive), because the DW pedal was too harsh on my ankles for long sets. The Demon Drive is extremely well made and very smooth, but after playing on it for at least a few years, I couldn't quite get it feeling 100% how I wanted, and it still lacked the power of a chain drive.This pedal was just delivered to me today, and out of the box without any adjustments, I want to say it feels better than the $600 Demon Drive. It is super heavy duty and well-made, is extremely smooth, and my quality of play is better than with the DD. Maybe it's my preference of chain vs. direct drive, but either way, this pedal seems amazing so far.My initial con (which isn't really a con) so far is that there are so many options to adjust the feel of this pedal, that I am almost afraid to mess with it.

I bought the chain drive version, and these pedals are just EXTREMELY reliable, and versatile. I don't gig as often as I'd like to, but I've played about 20 gigs with this guy and they haven't disappointed at all. Yes, the price is steep, but it's an undeniable upgrade from other pedals such as the dw2000-3000s. They feel sturdy as all hell, and they look pretty dang cool too. I've heard good things about the belt drives, but I haven't tried out any belt drives so I felt like just sticking with something I'm used to... And I wasn't disappointed in the slightest
