Longboard Dual-chain Double Pedal from PDP

The PDP 800 Series dual-chain double bass pedal has more than 20 years of PDP/DW research and development behind it. From the extended-length XF footboards with needle-bearing hinges to the low-play black telescoping pedal linkage, the PDDP812 double pedal is characterized by a sleek look and price-defiant modern performance. The PDDP812's cast concentric cams are driven by dual chains to supply a fluid response that even the most demanding Sweetwater drummers continue to rely on. The dual-post side supports really help channel power and speed directly to PDP's 2-way reversible beaters, which not only give you two types of sounds on acoustic kick drums, but suit this pedal to electronic kits as well. Underneath, you get stabilizing solid base plates and an offset hoop clamp for fast, knuckle-saving hoop attachment and removal. There's even a DW drum key secured right to the base plate — the only tool you'll need to link, break down, and customize this pedal.

Reviews

Awesome
I'm not a "pro drummer," but I did take a couple drum lessons from my brother... I think he would have loved this pedal. I can actually use it very well (a real drummer could use it far better!)

The double chain really is awesome. There is no difference at all (at least to my perception) from one pedal to the other; they each move their respective beater equally. It makes sense from a physics standpoint... I guess two chains = more torque?

Anyway, it's just a very fun apparatus to use... when I first pulled it out of the box, I just enjoyed hitting both pedals with my hands!

It's also very easy to adjust, so if you like to have the highhat pedal on one side or the other, you can do that with a couple twists of a drum key. It comes ready to go!
Absolutely fantastic
My son bought this for his drum kit. The thing is awesome, never had any problems with it. Basically it doesn't break. Highly recommend this for any drummer.

Great double pedal
First time I tried a pdp product. Super happy with the purchase. Pedal is smooth and has power. The pedal has a quality feel to it and the finish is great. I have been beating on this unit hard and no issues or complaints at all. Bought it as a demo and it could have been sold as new. A big thanks to Dominic for all the help as well.

Smooth action
Double chain, double base pedals for a great price! Easily attached to my new TD-17KVX kit. Pedal tension easily adjustable (for each pedal). Contruction seems robust enough to play these for many years! Only issue is the connecting rod between pedals is a bit long for my setup, but I figured a way to make the second pedal location comfortable. And of course, Sweetwater's customer service is second to none!
Music background: Drum hobbyist.
Beginner to immediate player.
Bought on reviews only. The only con, weak feeling connection rod. Might strip with heavy use. If your gonna use for practice only where you won't have to break down and set up a lot, this double pedal will be great to learn on.
