Good looking out about those springs bro! Hell yeah.

Wow man, lucky you. I live in south America and wanna get one of these. How different are they in terms of playing? Are the MCD pedals as smooth as the MDD, or are they more similar to the 9002? I have the 9002 and wanna buy the MCD, but I don´t wanna be desilusioned when I get them if there is no real difference.

Honestly, if you already have the 9002's and are looking for an upgrade with a different feel, get the MDD's. I've played hundreds of shows with them and they are awesome. You lose that "floating" feeling with the direct drives but they are my personal favorites. I love the quality and adjustablilty with the MCD's over the 9002's, but my go to is the MDD's. Hope this helps!

[@stevespire3611]

Yeah man, that´s the answer I was looking for. Even better if you already have played MDD. Thanks !! I think I´m gonna follow your advice and purchase the MDD. I appreciate it!!

Steve Spire Awesome, you won’t be disappointed, they are an amazingly high quality pedal and play so smooth. Enjoy!

How are these holding up? Do you still prefer the MDD's over MCD? I'm in a similar boat, I got 9002's, love 'em, but wonder 'what could be'... if I got any of the MFG pedals... I've never played any direct drive pedal before. My local guitar center don't have them on kits to try out or play.. only thing I got really is KZbin vids for feedback. MCD's appeal to me... but if they are even slightly similar feeling to 9000's then I'd be better off just saving my money or going MDD. My current main project is a hard rock/grunge band, mostly single pedal stuff, do a lot of doubles, I saw someone else say for people who like to do these things a chain drive might be more suit, whereas fast double bass single stuff MDD's would be more beneficial

Can’t believe they kept the springs on the inside.

[@larrytate1657]

Would you prefer these over the Dw 9002? I'm guessing yeah but....

[@jeffrobbins]

Larry Tate ABSOLUTELY!

[@jeffrobbins]

Absolutely! Way better quality and adjustability!

For the price DW should give you the chain drive and direct drive assembly for each pedal to convert between the 2 different drive types instead of having 2 separate product lines ... then I watched all this video and seen that the mounting connection for the footboards are different, doh!!!
