Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive Pedal Demo - Memphis Drum Shop

[@MyJimjack]

What an excellent presentation. Clear, confident and sure about what he is presenting.

[@frankmyrand]

I like how he goes straight to the point without fooling around, but still remains very interesting! :p

[@umphreak8911]

That was my first thought, what a professional presentation, the pedal is much more interesting now.

[@doug9103]

best sales man in the world

[@TheHarrisal21]

He can sell a cup of ice water for $100.

[@Osagie98]

was about to write it myself, found ur comment the second i scrolled down

[@acampbell2662]

Just wanted to say I was sold on buying this 1 minute & 20 seconds in the demo presentation. Superb video

[@ELIDOTORG]

I tried the pedal and played with it for a while for like an hour and it was the best pedal I have ever used

[@SimCityMusic]

Awesome review! Just ordered a double and looking for a fix. Found it.

[@5dayslater]

I just bought the direct drive version of the Demon Drives yesterday and I can't even explain how happy I am!

[@tagusan8999]

Being a drummer, you're happy when you buy something. That is, until you see your bank account.

[@memphisdrumshop]

These are great pedals. If you click the link in the description, you will be able to view the price and more information about this product.

[@belac5]

i own a DW 5002 pedal and i love it. i tried the demon drive out at my local music store and i must say, its very very smooth and can be controlled very well. but IMO its a bit on the light side, i like a little bit of weight in the pedals so i can get some more power from the stroke, other than that they are good pedals and i would recommend them to anyone (who has a deep pocket).

[@InducingEnvy]

Great demonstration video! I bought mine a couple years ago and I am very happy with them! I tried them out along with Trick and Axis pedals, and the Demon Drives kicked their ass. No doubt the best pedal to date!

[@sjang816]

i'm really happy with my speed cobra older model. but everytime i see this guy i want to buy a demon drive! the few times i tried at guitar center i didn't see or feel anything extraordinary but it does have a million different adjustments so prob would need ample time to mess around and dial it in

[@johnkoliop]

In my opinion it's the best drum pedal! It's so smooth,so fast,you gonna love it! And if you like to do the "heel toe" this pedal is the best for this technic!

[@Hheawy]

Got these babes yeasterday... the adjustment options are very unique indeed and they are smooth too

[@doctorrockter]

I just got my demon drive dbl pedal today. Its amazing. I'm so happy. Its so smooth. This pedal is worth every penny. Its godly!!!

[@0p3nURiZ]

I bought a DD double pedal about 6 months ago... Price tag of 699CD was a little more than the Axis pedals.. but being that its made by pearl.. I figured the extra 60 bucks was worth it... and BOY WAS I RIGHT.. These pedals are INSANELY responsive.. I play alot of heel-toe at 200+bpm.. Ive never played a pedal that could stick to my feet through long rolls.. untill the DD! It has the pro price tag.. But if your looking for PRO gear.. its well worth the money! Another great PEARL innovation!

[@Lt_Ligma]

this man sold me on these pedals! I want them now!!

[@Aleksander814i1y3]

borrowed a pair of these on a gig today, best pedal ever! it was smoother for me than axis and speed cobra and its not over expensive! gonna get these, no doubt!

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

I'm planning on replacing my 12 year old axis A longboards with either this or trick pedals, idk which one yet though still on the fence but this video is making me lean towards the demon drives.

[@Radekiss]

In love... Not with the sales man :D althought he makes it so clean.. and.. made me fall in love with this pedal.. :)))

[@deedawg71]

Even when you change it into the long board version its only as long as the eliminator.

[@balrogDCLXVI]

6 years later, thank you, I was looking exactly for this info :)

[@ButteredToast32]

Terminator who likes drums: "Your pedals....give them to me, now."

[@D_sull93]

no and you can take of the little orange parts on the grip board if you want

[@CGJ7755]

@doctorrockter Im not sure how you reached that conclusion. I own both and I find the Pearl is really just good for training and workout, the axis has a bit of an edge over it...

[@Draenal]

I want this pedal so much.... I went onto pearl's website really quick yesterday and this baby was just staring me right in the face. It is so totally worth the 360 dollars. funny thing is it is cheaper than the trick pedal but seems to have infinately more features.

[@pbgangsta]

THESE PEDALS FOR SURE. I had axis pedals and they broke after 3 month's. I've played these pedals and it's like heaven. Trust me you will NOT regret buying these.

[@jasaggio]

Great video...and extremely well explained and presented.

[@tristanskot97]

i got this pedal last week and its so great

[@Howbee]

One year later. How do you like your Demon Drives? Thinking of buying myself.

[@RyEBreaD757]

GOD I WANT THOSE SO BAD! i got to play them a local music store, they are just as good as they sound...

[@Mp5Drummer]

@deathdrummerwild It depends what feel you want. Speed Cobra is a chain drive, so if you're used to a chain drive feel but want the lighter feel and leverage of a longboard pedal, you want the Speed Cobra. Direct drive is a different feel entirely, but you might like it. After playing both, I personally prefer the Demons, and my pedals are Iron Cobras.

[@MATTlovesDRUMS]

i'm buying this maybe next week or within the next month. i need the pearl demon drive!

[@skater15153]

no one i know of uses these pedals...but i have played them and they are freaking sweet

[@rickingraham4451]

2023..better late then never..have mine being shiped from japan right now...helll yeah.

[@Villex93]

I got these yesterday but I cant play well with them because they differ so much from the Iron Cobras I used to have. They have less power but I guess they are much faster in the end.

[@pietrass7]

Pearl is the best company. Not only drums, but hardware AND the Percussions equipment. And I realy wanna try this pedal!! :D

[@Mohantanay]

@memphisdrumshop- I am confused between the pearl powershifter or the demon drive double pedal.. Which one should I buy?? I need ur help

[@petersperspective6122]

Excellent explanation.

[@tamadrms14]

How do these pedals compare to the Dw 5000's, which also use bearings?

[@0p3nURiZ]

@MrSlimshady2014 the problems Ive heard from many people with the axis pedals is they tend to rattle appart at the seams (so to speak) I keep hearing horror stories about little parts and screws breaking and or falling out while playing and after speaking with my local music store guru he mentioned that nearly every axis pedal he has ever sold.. has come back for SOME kind of minor repairs.. Axis (IMO) still has some growing pains before they catch up to pearl when it comes to durability!

[@rendrumista]

that thing that spun is a skateboard wheel. its not the beater. The skateboard wheel (which is white) has ninja bearing installed in them. the ninja bearing are the same bearings used for the axel of the pedal.. not the beater.

[@hickoryhop]

Axis released this design over 10 years ago. Way to go Pearl

[@fatalkill101]

i love the feel or tricks also buh the thing i find with DDs is that it feels heavier then both trick and axis. the DDs almost imitate the feel or a regular pedal while still having components of what axis and trick has. it really is preference cuz when you get axis or trick pedals it would take you sometime to get used to them because the feel is COMPLETELY different. buh i think once you get used to your pedal youll be in double bass drumming heaven :)

[@THEUNHINGEDSANITY]

What if I don't have the key? I want to extend it to long board, but can't loosen the hinges! What to do!

[@StainedHumanity1]

I bought these pedals because of this pedal :L Do you sell the ninja bolt cleaner fluid? don't really wanna use normal cleaner :|

[@drummerboi438]

im gettin this for christmas im so excited

[@prodrumm3r1]

Best demo ever holy crap

[@mrboverbro]

whats better this or the axis longboard??

[@CoversForChrist]

GETING MINE THIS WEEK!!

[@waznad]

i do like the short board/long board feature.

[@erniejv15]

how much does the demon drive double pedal costs??

[@TheSamurai98]

getting mine in a few days! can't wait!! :D

[@memphisdrumshop]

@flashminka Definitely go test them for yourself.

[@prod.codeine]

This man could sell anything and i'd buy it

[@ivanbajovic3476]

Yes. Even a dead parrot 😁

[@typan1995]

what's the point of having the beater spin

[@alfonsoc1122]

I got this pedal today, and is very good. I just have one question. How to setup it to play fast double bass??? This have a lot of diferent combinations and I dont have experience with a pedal like this. I just want to setup it to play FAST double bass. If someone knows please help me!!!!! Thanks!!! :)

[@crs-yz9fq]

Best pedals in the world. So smooth and so fast.

[@MrDexterSr]

I’m getting one for sure now

[@TheHarrisal21]

I wasn't sold on it until I saw this guy.

[@ronniegana2]

impressive... I bought a cheap Squire double pedal and i'm not happy with it. So, i'm probably buying this...

[@erniejv15]

how much are the wooden beaters??

[@TheNZdrummerman]

i live in new zealand and these cost up to $1200.00 for the double pedal not sure how much for just one thow.

[@Sticky1254]

Lol, never had a problem with Windows. Surprisingly, only thing that ever crashed for me when maxing out the usage of CPU power was the mac.

[@AndriiMykhailovVPR]

I'm in Love, one more week left to wait, And i'll gona try this one on my kit ))

[@Brento44]

It looks like a killer pedal! I want one!!

[@AlecBFlores]

@dave90mckeague why is it illegal?? it's just oil. can you please tell me??

[@generatrix999]

Check Ninja bearing prices. In Japan $130, what about America? I saw them for 20-$30 for a set of 4.

[@Pearldrum07]

i got these about a year ago. the only problem is that the lateral pedal I always have to re-oil it. some reason the main pedal is fine but the other keeps feeling rusty and not smooth. Anyone else have this problem?

[@BTeeper]

better than longboards but i would recommend the regular eliminators if you dont have money

[@memphisdrumshop]

If you click the link in the description, it will take you to the product page where you can view the price and more information.

[@fatalkill101]

i use Axis and i personally feel that Axis is better then thse pedals. and people who say axis suck, you guys never took the time to actually get used to them. when i first got them i hated Axis pedals, buh it took about a good 3 months buh afterwards i realised i LOVED them. No other pedal for me. Using Axis pedals is like an aquired taste. like beer and wine.

[@DWEBGEEK]

memphisdrumshop I'm a left-footed drummer, can I interchange this into a left-footed configuration?

[@richogem]

yes you can.

[@baconfromhell666]

im not sure if you can, cause they also have the double pedal as a lefty, and if you could convert it yourself, I wouldnt see the need for them to have both

[@richogem]

i have this pedal. you can do this.

[@KonradasDesignCo]

yes, you can. i have this pedal.

[@skater15153]

It's Virgil Donati (not sure how you haven't heard of him really...he is insane). And the other is Marco Minneman...both are beasts and insane. I'm not saying JoJo isn't the shit...but I just don't see him being at the same level in terms of independence as these two but his chops are easily up there...cept on double since he doesn't play double.

[@CGJ7755]

@Hammy0924 And the axis longboard is superior to both. The eliminator is still quite the piece of work.

[@jaqb666]

Propably because chain is much more cheaper??

[@rio_mn]

I would think that having the grip would allow your foot to stay on the pedal...cuz I would think Axis and Trick would be a little slippery...Other than that...no I don't think it would slow you down... you can always take the grip off Im sure...

[@down6574]

I LOVE PEARL DRUMS!!!

[@ZildjianSeRG]

Do they or will they make demon hi hat stands? Kinda like matching my shit together. Just looks more professional

[@blueburnsred]

If I buy a single pedal, can I buy a link and slave to make it into a double?

[@gorasiberia]

I have one of this. It's really Great!

[@davidsears5176]

Marketing is supposed to be boastful, hence the endless superlatives, 'only in the world!' etc. That said... this really is some damned good engineering. That is a WILD range of adjustment for feel and response. And in order for all of that to work right... you've gotta have very tight tolerances in manufacturing. Hence the fancy bearings etc. I think a design this complex, if you cheaped out and allowed to much wiggle and play, the whole thing would fall apart. Binding up, jamming etc. So to implement this design, all those details he was showing off have to be just so. Of course he would say 'it's the best pedal in the world!'... but it is fair to say it's a legit contender. Short/long, heavy/light, power/finesse etc, etc. You can make it an outstanding version of whatever your preference is, or change config for different styles. He didn't even get into how, if you have true double bass, you can break the link, move a few parts and have 2 stand alone pedals for left and right. Built into the design to work as a double or 2 singles. There is no absolute, singular 'best' anything... but this is impressive hardware extremely well thought out. When I first head about these, I thought maybe it was gimmicky, or prone to problems due to complexity. Reviews say otherwise, one of the more loved pedals out there. I don't know the names of the engineers that designed this thing... but damn... they did some freakishly good work here.

[@sholstein]

So is he saying we should buy the direct drive pedal as opposed to the chain drive? Why did Pearl even make a chain drive pedal if he's saying the direct drive's are better?

[@LigmaMale69]

Because some people just like chain driven pedals more.

[@iDrumGod]

You can't seriously be asking that question..? Chain isn't 'better' than strap, direct isn't 'better' than chain etc. What do YOU want from you pedal, and what do YOU want from you playing? Someone playing an electronic pop gig with a Roland kit isn't gonna use a fucking Demon Direct Drive. They'd probably use a strap drive pedal because it's lighter and quieter. Do you want to play Xtreme-Heavy-DeathGrindCore..? ..buy some fucking direct drives

[@melonxo]

If you need something cheap and light, chain drive is the way to go

[@dragonforce800133]

I cant wait

[@innerblades]

I wonder how hard it can strike the head.

[@memphisdrumshop]

@pauli3143 We haven't heard anything yet.

[@livefastdierrhea]

Wow, atleast now other companys are going to have to up the quality of there double pedals, i hope this will be the new standard in future double pedals

[@bigdaddydzzzzzz]

theyre not out til the 30th

[@TheLordZixx]

so excited, get to practice with some within an hour :D ohh yeahhh

[@CorbinsVids]

As soon as he said Ninja,i was sold.

[@CGJ7755]

@sandrail69 The Guitar center close to me has three on the floor... and the one in Boston literally has about 8 of them scattered among all the different drumsets. I bet they sell alot of them.

[@pd5cents]

i NEED that!

[@bizzjoe]

I use the new kryptonite driven pedal... works great.

[@drummin4InTheShadows]

even the $80 versions made my speedcobras become my secondary pedals

[@reezlaw]

This is exactly what the guy at 2009 Winter NAMM said. I mean word by word! They undergo some extensive training...

[@BONEKESSMaTT]

dude the price of a double pedal version is insane but it would be worth it

[@MalDrumX]

the pedal's features sounds great... but does anyone think it's really ugly?

[@JamieDrumz]

I went through this debate with myself for weeks. I kinda decided Pearl though. The demon drive is used more in general, it's more durable, and Pearl make overall good products. Also, the demon drive is more customisable when it comes to ease of use. With axis you either have very very very horribly customisable (Which some people may like) or barely not customisable at all. Thats why the Demon Drive is better, the amount of adjustability is perfect. (Please excuse any typos)

[@Midas526]

Bought one of these double kicks :D So expensive, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't some of the best money I've ever spent.

[@CurtisBernard]

Awesome!!!

[@Chessdrummer83]

well he makes it out that he changes it from short board to long in 2 seconds but you have to take apart all the screws.. so that part of the design is somewhat flawed

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

Close to it!

[@skater15153]

I'm not talking hand chops we're talking feet here...and rudiments are rudiments, tools not music. I'm not talking Lamb of God type drummers dude, I'm talking tech death drummers that are actually playing something complex and musical. And I didn't say chops = music...but we were talking chops...I listen to stuff like Planet X, which is very musical and very original. It's just irritating that people who don't listen to other types of music (metal, prog metal) are bashing on it.

[@iendacard]

It's Gene!
