Product Rating Product Review More responsive than other pedals ive used, no lag when things get fast, brick house solid, transportation case is tight, not a lot of things rolling around the bag, well worth the money also the long board conversion option and all the ways you can adjust them really makes this pedal my go to now, thank you to the engineers who designed the demonater!

Product Review This pedal is built like a tank. And Has a smooth feel that is a good balance between chain & direct drive drive feel. Overall, I was able to get rid of my other pedals because of how well this performs. Worth every dollar of the price.

Product Review This isn’t your average double pedal. And I wouldn’t expect anything less from Pearl!!! This has everything you would need and then some. Every bell and whistle but it’s also simple, and practical at the same time. Easy to adjust to your own suitability, and the case is beautiful too. A little expensive but you’ll soon see that it was worth every penny because this baby is built to last!!! Highly recommend!!!

Product Review Everything you've heard about this pedal is true. It is the best/fastest drum pedal I've ever owned in 30 yrs of playing. I've owned every top brand ie; Tama, DW, Trick. Pearl WINS 1st place!! Buy one of these pedals. Do whatever you must to obtain it. Sell, trade, or fight for it. Just get one! You're welcome... Sir. **mic drop**

Product Review I highly recommend this pedal to any experienced drummer looking to make their feet faster. With the direct drive it really helped me work more on single foot reactions. Backed by a brand that has been in the game for a while! The price is steep but you get what you pay for! This is an investment for further education.

Product Review I bought these pedals 6 months ago and do not regret the switch from chain to Direct drive. Not only do these pedals look amazing the feel and respond fantastically. The case it comes with if the best; not bully or hard to store. If they randomly broke today I would def get another one.

Product Review This pedal is freaking amazing, I am moving to these from an old pair of tama iron cobra double pedals. Really didn’t take long to set it up and feel good to me. Didn’t take any time really to adjust to the direct drive function of these.

Product Review These are the most versatile pedals I have ever played, and there is absolutely no latency or lag between the right and left beater. Couple that with being able to convert this pedal from a longboard to a short board configuration and you’ve got the ultimate package. The footboard height is independently adjustable from the beater angle, making for precise adjustments. The pedals feel light, with an instantaneous response without sacrificing power.

Product Review This pedal is amazing, super smooth and lightning fast!!!! I have never practiced double bass drumming much before getting this and right away I was able to get it going pretty fast. This direct drive pedal feels much better than a chain driven pedal. Definitely recommend this pedal

Product Review People said this is the best pedal. I haven't tried any more expensive pedals, but I can't find any flaws with these. You can customize everything on the pedal to the way you like.

Product Review The Pearl Demon Drive has been such a pivotal piece to my puzzle since purchasing it last year! My playing has never sounded or felt better, as well as my confidence in my foot work has progressed immensely! The direct drive was a change for sure compared to the chain drive. But, as a drummer it is exciting to expand the horizons and try new things!! I most certainly chose wisely!

Product Review I started with a Ludwig Speed King years ago and flat wore it out. After that I went to a Pearl Eliminator double pedal chain drive, but def missed the direct drive. Right out of the box I could tell the Demon Drive is a fine piece of hardware and I cannot wait to put lots of hours on it. I have no doubt this pedal will prove to be the best investment in drum equipment I have ever purchased.

A good pedal but not worth the price

Product Review I bought this pedal when it came out years ago. At the time I had a first generation eliminator. And having learned how to play on an old Ludwig Speed King. I wanted to get a direct drive pedal. So I was excited for this when I got it. And I liked it as much as the eliminator but here's the problem...not more. Which is why 6 months later I ended up buying an Axis Longboard. And that pedal...I LOVE!!! I think for the price they need to upgrade the materials used. Cast aluminium is NOT an upscale material for a pedal these days. But it is a quick pedal and very responsive. Plus it's got so much adjustability built into it that it would be surprising if you couldn't set it so you like the feel. It's a great pedal at about HALF what they want for it. I still have it as a back up. Plus I'm kind of a gear hoarder so I actually still have my old eliminator too but I doubt I'll ever set either of them up on my primary set again. Especially since I have a Mapex direct drive pedal that is worlds better than both of the Pearl pedals and it was only $199

Product Review I have been through a couple different double bass pedals trying to find the perfect one, and I think I’ve finally found it. I love the amount of variety this pedal contains in ways of tuning it to your preference. The direct drive is amazing as it’s super responsive in every bit of the term. I highly recommend this pedal to anyone.

Product Review Product is obviously well made and has a ton of options for adjustment, but they are not for me. If you are a primarily chain-driven pedal user these might not be your fit either. I spent an hour adjusting and getting the pedals to where I found comfortable, and they play good but compared to my chain driven they play extremely soft. I even put plastic beaters instead of felt and it's almost hard for me to hear/feel the bass when in playing with headphones. Good product, but would take ALOT of getting used to if your not used to direct drive pedals.

Top of the line: simply awesome (too expensive)

Top notch. There's even rubber feet to prevent the clamp from scratching your bass drum's hoop. It's performance is consistent and quiet. n/a I think this pedal is over-priced. I played this in the store and fell in love with it but wouldn't let myself pay more than $400 for a high end double kick pedal because I couldn't justify the extra expense. I eventually found a double Demon Drive used for under $400 and picked it up. I'm very happy with it, but it's not a great value. This is more for the discerning player (which I am not, I'm just spoiled).

This pedal is well worth the money. Although its a little pricey, all the features of the pedal make it well worth it. You can tweak and adjust practically everything on it.
