Anybody have any experience with this pedal, price seems fair and i have heard that Yamha pedal are very underrated compared to some of the other popular names.

Though I haven't played that particular pedal, I've used a Yamaha pedal since 1987 (now one of my backups).

It looks like they offer the 9500 (doubles and single) in Direct Drive, Chain Drive and Strap Drive - all of which have their pros and cons.

I would suggest going to a large percussion store (i.e. Atlanta Pro Percussion) and try out a variety of pedals, including the Yamaha's. In construction, the Yamaha DPF9500C (Double Chain Drive) looks very similar to a Gibraltar I've played - which was a very serviceable pedal setup.

The frame of the pedal is designed to be uncluttered and ergonomic whilst giving the right amount of set up options. These include a new spring tension adjuster with a clever self lock feature, a simple angle adjuster for the Beater, Footboard adjuster and a simple hoop clamp mechanism. All the adjustments can be made using a drum key. All the pedals come with a light but protective carrying case which has enough room to also fit the pedal accessories safely and securely.

The DFP-9500 is a bifold alternation drive bifold pedal, with an alternative alloyed nylon belt included if you adopt the feel of a strap-drive pedal. The DFP-9500C has adjustments for beater angle, footboard angle and bounce tension. The pedal frames accept balance confined casting into them beneath the rocker shafts to annihilate flex.
