Trick dominators can be purchased as a double pedal and can be transferred into two single pedals and are 400 dollars cheaper with all the same adjustments

Great pedal. Just overpriced by at least $500 especially with the Pearl Demon Drive pedal coming in at roughly half the price for virtually the same thing. Really like DW stuff but this price is just ridiculous.

@WhoDarestheMAN gamer Ok I'm looking for a direct drive pedals now. And Have a chance to get the Pearl

exactly just like the Demon drive by Pearl.. but the demon drive can turn longboard, and can also change the distance between the beater and the head, it costs the half and came out 6 years ago...

I have one and it's extremely durable, the carrying bag is also indestructable and it's very, very useful. Extremely dynamic pedal, great for all genres, except for insanely fast and strong heavy metal drumming. There are better pedals for that type, though this one is also great

BEst and most thorough video I have seen on this pedal! Thank you!!!

I'm fully satisfied with my DW 3000 very silent, powerfull (especially on singles strokes) and very smooth

The beater position is not independent to the foot board. They have a footboard height adjustment to sort of compensate but....meh.

My local Guitar Center has a double Machined Direct Drive for 425.99. I currently have an Axis A longboard with a custom made board, I like it a lot, but wanting to try this for a few weeks. The clamping system on my axis sucks. .

When do we get a matching DW Aluminum Machined Direct Drive Hi Hat Stand?

$1000 and it comes in a bag? For that price it shoud come in a bullet proof safe!

looks great, I have an Axis pedal (packed away), which seemed to work nicely for low volume playing, but for some reason, it never felt quite right.

thanks for the review!

I chose the Yamaha FP-9D direct drive pedal, and I’m loving it. Less expensive and built like a tank.

I was looking at my Tricks during the video and thinking, " ok but my pedals are still better. Way to copy them and Axis though." And the Tricks are more customize-able.

Oh yea and compression springs are way easier to deal with than tension/expansion springs.

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. I returned it and got a new AXIS A Pedal with Micro-Tune, forward beater bracket, and wide footboard. it's awesome!

Great look, huge fan of DW drums and pedals. Would get them If I made enough money to not care about spending 1000 bucks on pedals alone.

awesome!

I've tried these slave pedals i really don't personally like nor enjoy using these,but my friend thought they were the bees knees on a 7 piece DW PCP kit though frankly i found them slower than my two current Pearl demon drives.I may upgrade from my Pearl masterworks to DW their drums sound amazing even on youtube seriously expensive to be sure

I've been wanting something this adjustable for 25 yrs!

I like the idea of weights in the beater! Genius! Yes, expensive but what do you expect? It's dw. Wish I could afford some. Ha!

A friend of mine preordered this peddle, I tried it and it did not wow me. It feels like a 9000 on steroids. Not even the 9000 XF series just a regular everyday 9000.

That's cool!

Awesome

Does anybody know why DW calls the hoop clamp a toe clamp?

TOP OF THE LINE...DW all the way.

That’s tight

I bought the double pedal and it is pure nirvana. This pedal will become the new top dog of the industry replacing the old DW 9000. Save your pennies because this pedal is a game changer IMHO. I had the Demon Drives and it just goes to show you that DW is looking out for the drummer rather than releasing sub par junk and market the crap out of it.

Cool lemme know what you think.

Minimalist style, but copying trick's pedal ideas, but still good, I'm wondering how the grooved board feels, is it naturally to move feet on it.

I tried one at a local music store and all i can say is.....if i had the money, i would ask to please take it. I do love my 9002 and 9000 pedals but this one might be too smooth. Only way to know is to compare.

Look kids you can buy the most expensive or the cheapest pedals. There is a difference but the bottom line a pedal is not going to make you better. It's within the person using it. 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 are pretty much paying for the dw logo and name.Dws are durable and have pretty good feel,but trick are almost $200-$400 cheaper and they way easier to tweak and adjust.

...and most professionals will probably still play the DW 5000s or Iron Cobras like they always have.

I would be very interested, but their $1000 bucks so unfortunately no.

I really like DW, these pedals are awesome, but i totally agree. Why make the same pedal for twice as much? I think you're paying for the name if anything. But the simplified adjustments are what i like about them.

pedal nice design

Looks like W gets a lot of ideas from Gibraltar. Didn't DW buy them out ?

Never understood why DW put the springs on the "Inside" of the pedal on this and the 9000, I tried one out and my foot kept hitting the spring !!! Seems like a stupid design to do this .

Two or three points I'd like to make: One, DW should use only that linkage in all pedals including PDP Two, why the heel plate? Three, the price is 100% in line with other top pedals Four, its an extortive industry in general if you ask me Five, next time big pharma needs a CEO they should look at the musical instruments industry.

Guys.. is Axis double pedal a DW?? 😂 I'm confused

I don't like the raised heel plate. I wish they would have made it long board similar to Trick or Axis.

For 1,000 I would hope that they would play the drums for you

Another Axis copy?, Tama and Pearl did their copies...now DW?, I love DW but this is very similar to the Axis pedals too.

I don't think it can beat the PB by sonor but, that's just my opinion.

Cant believe that you cant set your beater angle separate from the pedalheight. They didnt even show when he did that if the pedal were still or not while turning the beaters angle. My 9002 double pedals cant do that either, so TAMA Speedcobra had to replace this shitty pedal.

DW dosen't suck. but this pedal cost around 1500 US Dollers for the dubble pedal . axis is half that mutch. why would i EVER buy this pedal when i can get a direct drive pedal that is at least as good for half that that much.?? i dont know any pro drummer that uses this pedals they use Axis (drummer i mean death metal drummes). so great DW you now have a great pedal that no one normal can afford, and thos who can afford you pedal will probably go with my addvice and take the axis pedals insted becouse it much better deal than yours.

Trickdrums Pro V1 kicks this flimsy things, ass

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.

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 KZread. 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.

@drummaman1

+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".

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.

I might have had better luck with the 3/8 inch thinner she'll option. Maybe it was 5.5 cause I got it when it was new on the market still. It was 10 lug I remember. Happy drumming, cheers.

Nothing new. check out the old Ludwig speed king.

$1,000??? No thanks, I'll buy the Trick Bigfoot Direct Drive Double Pedal for $849.00. DW ripped this off from them anyways.

Why waste the money? The DW 5000 is many times cheaper and have served me well over thirty years! Make 'em prettier and charge an arm and a leg. Not worth the price! Same goes for the DW line of drums. I got more bang for my buck on a set of used Yamaha Maple Custom Absolutes from Guitar Center online. I'll be putting away and perhaps be selling my DWs. The Trick spring compression is much better than the spring-stretching compression everybody else sells.
