AXIS Percussion perfected the machined direct drive pedal 25 year ago! I bought this DW pedal, but after 5 minutes and adjusting it to its tightest settings, I struggled to get fast double hits. it was sluggish like all their other pedals. it has too many parts, and the spring is a pain in the ass to change. too many deal breakers for me.

Mike Johnston reflects on this. When he does his clinics and picks out what he's using. He will pick the less expensive hardware, and blaze with this stuff. He explains about the gear does not make you better. It's not about speed it's all about control and playing clean clear notes. If you look up Mike he illustrates this in his videos!

You complain that the pedal is too expensive, yet the DD pedals from Trick and Axis are just as much ($400 street for a Pro 1V vs $450 for DW MDD). The design is not unlike Trick and Axis, yet, you complain about DW's aesthetic and that their pedal is the "metal shop fail" for ....what reason, again? For a company with a strong pedal game like DW (admit it, you have played a 5000 pedal in the last 30 years) for them to not have a direct drive option, though they have every other one, is "incomplete". So they made a DD pedal, and it's comparable to what's offered on the market. If they tried to offer their DD pedal as a 9000 with DD linkage, you'd complain they're being lazy and not stepping up their design. So, where does the bitching end? Yamaha makes a DD pedal for $190 street, Pearl has Demon Drive ($300 or $350 street, as much as a 9000 single pedal). Else you can scour ebay for a Squeak King and enjoy that DD goodness. I'd say STFU, but I'm sure there's going to be something else to bitch about coming from DW, and no sooner than when NAMM begins this week.
@larrytate16578 жыл бұрын
I see your point def, but the only problem is even DWs regular chain drive pedals like the DW 9002 which I have are overpriced. I own a DW 9002 which is only 6 months old which I'm selling if anyone's interested because I perform way better on my $399.00 mapex falcon double pedal. I paid 600 for my 9002 and it fatigues me much quicker than my falcon, go figure. The springs being on the inside is also a design flaw imho as my toes often hit them when I use slide technique. I'm sure it'd last for a long time prob but. This dd by DW I haven't tried but I've not been too happy with my experiences with DW so far. I also bought a super solid snare as I bought into the hype videos by DW on KZbin. Also was very disappointed couldn't get a good tight sound outta it, only a medium and low thuddy ballad sounds sounded good. I now play the sonor Benny greb snare and a grestch aluminum USA custom snare and love them. The grestch was half the price and even the sonor BG sig snare was $300 cheaper.
@drummaman18 жыл бұрын
+Larry Tate fair enough. The SS snare in its first version had some issues that I hope were corrected in newer versions. $300 less for a Benny Greb sig snare? The DW SS snare round my neck of the woods is $750, the Greb snare lowest price I've seen is $900. As for the 9000 spring on the inside of the post, I don't have that problem. I have the toe stops on mine but my foot never reaches that area when playing doubles/sliding. There are a few who have complained, but the majority are happy with the design of the 9000 as it is. Else you get a 5000. Most people who have 9000s have them for a long time, so it's an investment. There are plenty of other pedals on the market if you don't want or can't justify paying as much for the 9000 or even the MDD/MCD. Point being is that the prices are competitive with similar offerings from other brands, yet DWs are "overpriced".
@larrytate16578 жыл бұрын
At the time I bought my super solid it was 1,200. The fourteen by 6.5 medium shell. 10 lug. I did pay 900 for the Benny greb, yes but do you know how much signature DW snares go for? The Neil Peart or the other few that got? Idk either but I bet over 2 grand. Yes the 9002 is a great pedal but I just think they could easily sell it for 475 and still make plenty of profit on it. They do ask for extra for their name, that's all. A lot of times it works because people equate more expensive with better but sometimes it's not in DW's case in my experiences. I agree though they have beautiful gear and most of their stuff is worth it, if you have the money. I'm actually back on my DW 9002 now as I oiled it up the other day and it's ultra smooth feel drew me back. Now the mapex falcolns are on the practice pad and the 9002 on the kit, lol.
