This pedal is amazing! I just does anything you want it too and the adjustments are precise. Love the bag that dw included as well. When you buy this pedal it's the last one you will ever need. Only downside is the price, but with AMS, they give you a great option with a payment plan that is awesome.

I like all the adjustments you can do with it and it almost plays itself it's so free-flowing. If the pedal was longer I would like that more too I think that's my one complaint and just to feel is weird I'm getting used to thought.

I've tried every other brand out there and nothing comes close to the snappy, smooth response of the DW Machine Direct Drive Double Bass Drum pedal. It's the closest thing to direct skin to skin contact. It's so nice to feel an instant reaction to my natural timing. There is no struggling with mechanical equipment. No fighting or compensating for awkward pedal position, tension or movement. This truly is the best pedal I've ever played. Worth every penny.

MOST. AMAZING. PEDAL. EVER.

This pedal is absolutely amazing.
A) Looks beautiful!
B) Super fast!
C) Super Smooth!
D) Super adjustable!
E) Great case!
I know what you're thinking - so whats the catch.
Well, it's a thousand dollars so lets start there. If you can afford it (or afford the 12 easy payments-which is what I did) then go for it.
Full disclosure - I am a full time touring drummer. I play over 110 dates a year. If your in Jr. High School and are just starting your first Emo/Old school/thrash/deep house project YOU DONT NEED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Only complaint at all - You have to completely take apart the bar that connects the slave pedal to put it in the case. (You also have to remove the beaters for the same reason) To me, this is F*&king annoying!!
So if that could be corrected it would be 5 starts.

Best pedal I have tried so far. Always used the DW 9000 double pedals figured I’d give these a try. The feel is a little different switching from the chain on the 9000’s to the direct drive. Pedal is a little pricey but worth it if you can get over the cost.

These are quite possibly the best made kick pedals ever made. Direct drive is definitely something to get used to. If you buy them on the ams payment plan, it’s easy to check them out and see if you like them.

Worth every penny. Highly adjustable. Extremely comfortable. Once I made a couple of easy setting adjustments I noticed an instant improvement in overall feel and speed. If durability and speed are what you want, this is your pedal. All made possible by American Musical Supply’s awesome financing.

Ok so my wonderful wife got one for me for xmas its on back order should get it this week
and I can't wait to get it. As with all DW products I'm sure its the best peddle sins sliced bred. Im a long time DW drummer and I already use a 9002 peddle and I can't say enough about it so I can't imagine how this peddle is going to feel and react I'm sure to write a new review after I get it. Good job DW hit another one out of the park.
