Theoretically I have two different pedals, a Pearl 2000B and a DW 5002 TD4. For the sake of being easier to transport I will use the 2000B again on my future E-Drum I’ll use to practice at Home.
I have the old Eliminator and plan on switching the Beater. Do you know if a Tama Iron Cobra Beater fits in there?Pearl Eliminator Redline beltdrives, both a double pedal (w/Trick driveshaft) and two singles. Really like them, a lot of tweaking options and a very good feel to them. Not saying they are the best, but it's hard to find other pedals with the same amount of options (switching between beltdrive and chain is a breeze, different cams etc.).Unless they start to break all of a sudden I can't imagine changing them out.
That's my criterion for a good pedal - it has to react to my foot. The Drumnetics did that perfectly, and now I remember why I sent it back: the clamp for the bass drum hoop had a very poor grip and twisted off the hoop while playing. they engineered a new clamp but that didn't work well either, so I sent the whole thing back. When it was returned to me, all of my finely-tuned magnet positions had been reset, and I wasn't able to get it back to a workable pedal. I actually pulled it off the drum between sets on a gig and put my spare pedal on. The guys at the company weren't happy, and neither was I.
It's too bad... if they hadn't messed with the pedal, I'd be using and probably endorsing it today.
The 252’s were beasts. I played a pair of 1990’s 253’s (chain drive) for a good 10 years! Gigged the heck out of them and they were as good as new when I sold them!and a premier 252 single
That thing looks in pristine shape. No clue what ever possessed me to sell mine, but it kicked off several years of buying, tinkering with non-stop, selling over and over, just to end up right back to lower end Yamaha pedals again. Total number of tinkering since = 1 (spring). When they work, there's just no obsessing over them. Drop it down, clamp it and forget it's there.
fastest pedal ive played! the strap drive mk1 version i have is a rapid thing! <3The 252’s were beasts. I played a pair of 1990’s 253’s (chain drive) for a good 10 years! Gigged the heck out of them and they were as good as new when I sold them!
