Bass pedals


i need a double pedal and was wonderin why does everyone say that the dw 7000s are the worst model that dw has? would i really be better off with the 5000s or 8000s? im not even considerin the 9000s cus i dont have enough.

Re: Bass pedals


Well I have the DW 5000's and I'm very happy with them. It seems like the 5000s are made more for straight up speed and less about control. Or at least I had a a bit of trouble getting the hang of them. as far as the 8000's go I haven't had a chance to play them.

Are you set on the DWs? Because I've also had a chance to play Pearl Eliminators and Tama's Iron Cobras. Both also excellent choices, but I loved the Eliminators.

Where have you heard of this ? They surely meant the DW 4000 because all that I have heard about the 7000 is they are one of the best pedal for its price. Last year, when I was in shopping mode for a double pedal, I had a budget limit and since I couldn't find any good deal on IC or Eliminator or DW 5000 or FD on ebay, I began to look at the DW 7000 and ask question about them on forums and what I gathered is that DW have made many upgrade to this pedal over the years and they're now what was the DW 5000 were 5 years ago so I thought that since I wasn't a professional drummer and I was a beginner with double pedal, why not get them and see if I'm good at it. Now a year after I'm still very satisfied with this pedal and I have good configuration possibilities and the pedal is backed by a 5 year warranty.
