    Love the adjustments

    | Review By: Caleb Wilson | 6 months, 1 week ago

    Features:

    The number of adjustments you can make on this pedal is great. It allows you to make this pedal feel how YOU want it to and you just can't beat that.

    Quality:

    This thing is built like a tank. I read A LOT of reviews talking about screws loosening and falling out and maybe DW saw that because mine came with Loctite on every screw on the pedal.

    Value:

    The price is incredible for the amount of options and customizations you can make with this pedal.

    Overall:

    Overall this pedal is incredible. You can loosen it up a bit to get those fast fills or tighten it to get really good attack. Change the distance between the head and the beater if you want. You can adjust footboard angle. You can really make this pedal work for you and that in itself is something worth buying.

    I've owned several double pedals through the years and I'm really happy with the quality of this one. I too have had a little bit of problem with lugs loosening but a little bit of threadlock solves that problem. Over all, I'm really happy I went with DW.

    ive had these pedals now for almost 2 years and i will never buy a dw pedal again. for the first year they were ok, the slave side did feel heavy but i got used to it. the lugs will not stay tight no matter what and i ended up loosing half of them  along with the memory lock. that i can deal with, thats just part of being in a band that has 2 gigs every weekend. but in the last 2 months one of the chains (thats right the double chains) broke in the middle of a set and now the springs have streached. its not worth all the trouble and aggravation. ive also heard that dw foot boards are notorious for actually breaking in half and i can see where my main pedal looks like its ready to go. after the chain broke i realised how hard it is to actually find the dw replacement parts in Canada where i live. save your money and get a demon drive, i am..

    just plain sad

    I had the choice between Iron Cobras and these and knowing Neil Peart used to play on DWs so I went with these. In the end I feel horrible and I'm getting the Iron Cobras. The left pedal has too much drag and Ive tried EVERYTHING. Just wont be steady. Sticks to the ground pretty well. The best part of these pedals is probably the beaters. If you wanna sound professional and get nice steady bass hits... don't buy this pedal.

    I'm a trap set pro, and have been for years, and the DW 5002AD3 Accelerator Pedal is by far the most magnificent double pedal. It combines a sturdy, smooth feel with intense speed. Definately worth the money. I recomend it to any self respecting drummer with an apt for alacrity in their drumming and an alternative music based sound.
