I just bought these pedals today for 200$!!!, I love how they feel. they are pretty light and fast but the beaters that they came with are pretty crappy.. im gonna get some Pearl Eliminator beaters for them pretty soon.. and i agree with @rjplaysmusic ....these pedals should of been direct drive. Awesome pedals though, I would recommend them
I really think that the only direct drive pedals that can beat this one are the trick pedals. I played on axis and demon drive pedals, and they just didn't feel right. A friend of mine has trick dominators, and those are the only direct drive pedals that feel right to me. Speed cobras, on the other hand, are perfect for me. Affordable, fast, and powerful!
this guy must have big hands, because the pedals look small compared to his hand, lol, so much for advertising long footboards, awesome pedals though, might be getting the tonight.
Direct drive pedals are overrated. You can get more speed with a direct drive only if you lift up your foot just as fast! Not to mention the loss of power with a direct drive v. chain drive. I don't know of any drummer who can overplay a chain drive pedal so fast that he NEEDS a direct drive. If you study basic physics, you'll understand why a chain drive pedal is a much more efficient means of energy transfer than a direct drive and also how much more similar it is to hand technique.
I brought mine about a week and 5 days ago, I'm still in the states (live in the UK) and i still haven't had the chance to test them out! i've had to pack them in my case just so i stop getting them out of the hardcase! Tama have really pushed the boat out this time! The pedal looks fantastic, & i keep hearing awesome things! Check my channel in a few days time for my test run :)
I just bought one. Holy shit. The pedal has So much power, but it doesnt take too much to make it. Its smooth. Its loud. It also mirrors HOW you play, not just WHAT you play. This is better than axis. This is better than demon drives. This is the kind of pedal i would pay 700 for. It is what a double/single pedal should be.
(P.s. For all metal drummers. THIS IS THE GREATEST PEDAL ON THE MARKET)
These pedals are better than the axis pedals, these are faster and they look a little longer, cool design too. cheaper too. i played these at the guitar center and i compared it with my axis and the speedcobras were better
Some drummers prefer the feel of a chain drive over direct drive. Personally, I didn't like the Axis pedals that much, buy the Pearl Demon Drive was awesome.
@chr1za130k actually they already came out my local guitar center has them. I have to say they're lighter than powerglides or dw 9000 but I'd much rather take a direct drive any day
I have DW 5000s, DW 9000s and eliminators.... this might sound cliche, but the eliminators really are the best. The 9000s are smooth and quick, the 5000s are rugged and strong, but the pearl is just faster and a little easier to control. It does lack the punch of the DWs however.
They look great, but i dont think they're greatly developed technology-wise, compared to the Demon Drives. But, i dont know, i could be wrong and just didnt talk much about the technology in this video.
@000passive000 Again, that is just the MSRP or List price from the manufacturer. This video was created at the NAMM trade show before the item was available. George's Music's price is $399 for the double pedal and $179 for the single.
how good wouldn't it be if you could like take to your set a pair of axis long pedals, iron cobra and speed cobra. and like only get to try them out before you have to decide witch ones you are going to by!! the iron and speed cobra pedals are much cheaper tho!!
To all: This is a video Live from the NAMM convention floor at the Tama booth. The price on the sign is Tama's MSRP or suggested retail price. This item will sell on the street for about $399.
Found some sites that have them priced at $399.99 w/ the case... And they have them coming out on 9/17/10! All pre-orders right now... I wouldn't mind getting my hands on them, though!
lol, my name is george. this looks too expensive though, ill stick with iron cobras till the price drops, for that price i can get axis or demon drives.
