Okay bahheee first things first I’ve gotten more compliments on my hoodie that has yoda smoking a bong on the back of it than I’ve gotten for anything elce ever love you but I am looking to get my first set of direct drive puddles my current double puddles a DW 5000 that I custom modified to have the Hill playi part of the footboard to give a 13 inch long foot boards for the longboard experience and I obviously love it so I didn’t switch it back, so would you recommend these or a pair of axis petals?

Pearl are really the best reason to play drums, not only because its the motto but because samus uses them too😂

I’ve been using a Demon drive single pedal for years and it’s super responsive and quick. I recommend it for any genre

Damn. I’ve never seen someone make heel toe look so smooth and effortless. Such clean and precise kick work.

Did anyone notice that he played Day 69 by Decapitated on those single pedals??? Such a legend!!! 🔥❤️🔥

Surfacing part went crazy

i forreal saw someone in public today wearing your merch. dude was cool i talked to him

That “day 69” play through was *chef’s kiss

You know a pedal is great when you take it right out of the box and it feels like home. You made them look so comfortable, like you've been using them for years!

I loved how smooth the double pedal looked and i loved when you play the double kick from one

I sincerely appreciate you playing 6:33

These look gorgeous OMG

Played them at my local drum store the other week, boi o boyyy these things are wicked, fast and so much smoother than demon drives. The speed I could hit without any effort and power & punch combined, just blew me away. Absolutely fantastic new pedals from Pearl ❤

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE PEDALS!!

Day 69 does the job perfectly 😂 they seem much smoother than the Demon Drive model that’s incredible

best part of testing pedals is Samus flowing som beats =D

6:36 you sneaky boy lol got some Decapitated in there!

Awesomeness!!! Sweet playing and great product!

The demon pedals definitely have the attack and i think they sound good.. And that was some Sick drumming my good sir..💀🤘

Keep making good drum content like this

6:46 why did i know as soon as i saw your feet on two separate pedals thats the exact song you would play?!? Decapitated ftw!! 🙌

I built a set of these beaters for under $10 at the hardware store and they are absolute fire. These beaters fvcking crush! Thank you Pearl for being industrial AF!!

Decapitated - day 69 full cover when? I mean we basically got it but seeing the hands would be dope too

some of the fastest & cleanest i have ever heard you play. sweeeeeeet! 🤘🤘

I just got one of these! First time trying direct drive and longboards I'm so excited!

Ordered these a few days ago. Much excite!!!

Those pedals are freaking awesome!

Love it! I am due for new pedals and these are what I am going to go with.

That shaft with the big bearings looks excellent

I was sold on these since before they’re officially release and I was able to find a pair in Europe before they went retail in the US. My demon drives are now collecting dust and I’ll never go back to any other pedals because of these babies. I’m in love 🥰

HOLY SHIT! I’m getting these!!! Thanks brother!

Just got mine in...love them already...just as good as the original demon drives ive been using for the past 13 years

9:27 damn son those double doubles are CRISPY

love how you snuck vendetta by slipknot in the test haha

I have had the same crappy double pedals for like 15 years and really have been wanting to upgrade finally as I have been taking metal drumming very seriously lately... These might have to be the move when I can save up enough!

yooooo. you even sound a little faster on those :O

Those are some amazing pedals!! 😱🤯

I asked my daughter at the beginning of the video if you were gonna do the Lars "ONE" thing. Sounds fantastic

Time for a pedal upgrade for me! I’ve been on the fence about direct drive since Tama came out with the Dyna-Sync. Currently using a Tama Speed Cobra

I noticed Mike Mangini is using some hybrid Pearl pedals that look like they merged with a pair of Offsets. I love the idea of the offset design for a single bass drum. Time to upgrade my Tama Probeats...

Now that's a sponsor I can get behind.

I think that every amazing drummer knows how to play the day 69 intro. Such a classic. OH YUUUR!!!

My next double drum pedal thanks 66Samus

Super sweet

You can release a whole album with just you playing drums..Sweet!

Thanks for this awesome vid man! If I ever do get a new pedal set in the future I was planning on the drumnetics magnet ones but now I’m torn 😅 I’ve always been a pearl guy and my original demon directs are still holding up great. Keep rocking on man 💥

You are amazing Samus. You're honestly as good as Portnoy. If you took the time, you could easily pull off Peart's stuff too.

Suh dude! I am sure George approves of your playing! That was some seriously dope playing Samus!

Dude.....i love my duel chain red cam's, but these things are on another level...

been watchin you since the "insane drunk drumming" days. always blows me away how precise you are. These videos are asmr for me

Awesome Pedals, awesome Foot works, Yes sound is Great...

Damn... these may have to be my next purchase when I get a new kit someday. Badass

Pearl always delivers the fucking best gear for drumming, hands down!!! I have the demon chain but i switch the chain with a strap and broo, best pedal i ever had in my life!!

I never wanted to beat off to drum pedals until this moment.

Thanks for the video

Playing a Decapitated song there at 6:35 😊

My Demon Drives outlasted all my previous pedals, COMBINED. Iron cobra, broke on me. Speed Cobra, broke on me. Same spot. I then got the Axis but wasnt a fan of the clear unbalance I felt from the slave pedal ( as a double bass pedal). I'm sure you didnt have any problem with 2 singles. But man. I remember the day I unboxed my DD's and felt how absolutely no other tuning was required and it felt way more balanced than all other pedals. That equal spacing between the beaters in relation to the center of the head is NOT to be avoided if you have 1 bass drum.I can't wait to have a problem with my demon drives cause I feel like its next best thing if you can't get your hands on the Kopytos. I freaking WISH they would break on me so that I could try these monsters.

That meshuggah lick with the double pedal was nasty

This video made me really happy... and it was only because it was just showing the pedal work the entire time. I know, it's because it was a pedal video. But I really love watching footwork for different types of beats. I don't even have a foot fetish but I wish I did, so I could love this video even more.

I dont know why but theres something hilarious about only seeing leg cam when playing

All hail Vitek! I saw what you did. He was such an amazing drummer.

I have played Pearl demon drive pedals since 2009. I will upgrade to these new Pearl pedals as soon as possible.

Same here. I bought the originals back when they debuted in '09. Grabbed these when they came out as well and they are as advertised in my opinion. Just awesome.

Maaaaan this video makes me wanna buy them NOW!! As someone who started playing Pearl at 11 years old and has been a Pearl diehard for the last 20 years…these pedals OUTSHINE the demon drives sooo much!! Great video! Also, only one person made a mention of Day 69 by Decapitated. ☹️

They look so smooth.... yum!

These look hella sexy! I bought my demon double pedals 8 years ago. My drumming wasn't anywhere near where I'd need pedals of that quality, but hot damn, those are the best pedals I've ever used.

I want that pedal now

I immediately recognized that Day 69 intro

FILA, sponsor this man. Great drumming and review as always!

i have used the demon drive direct drive pedal for over 10 years with no issues ... i have to get my hands on these and try the new XR pedals .. they basically do what my demon drives do ..

god you are such a good drummer

Got'em.. Luv'em!
