You bought a set that had a cheap dp and you want to upgrade? I wouldn't recommend DW pedals at all. They are well made and all that but they are generally a full (circle) sprocket that comes back on you every time you kick it. In other words they feel bouncy and are hard to control. There are alot of players that love them but I think it is just a matter of they got used to how they feel and haven't used anything else since. I also don't know what your budget is but you can't go wrong with this Pearl Powershifter that is on sale with free shipping: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pearl-P122TW-Double-Pedal?sku=448787 I used this pedal on the last Lila McCann world tour and I think we played something like 200 shows and it held up great. Of course I have a couple backups just in case something happens but I never needed them at all. Notice in the pic how the cam (the circular thing that the chain drapes around to pull the beater forward) is half-round? That's what you want... they are super fast and have no bouceback at all. Pearl makes great pedals and great stuff in general. The main difference between a 16" crash and an 18" crash will be in the pitch and sustain. A 16" crash will be higher pitched and have a much shorter decay than an 18". I only use 17" and bigger on my kit and I have several 18" crashes... 16" feels too small for me and they always need to be setup so they are closer to you to make them reachable. Go with 18's. |

Gold Member Username: Livin_loudDo Work Fi Audio Post Number: 1930 Registered: Jan-06 | well you are on this forum  heh. what i meant to say is i'm currently using 2 individual pedals of different brand, and was wondering the amount of difference i would feel between them and a nice DP. i like that pearl one, but i recently found a 5000 for 100, so i cant really put that down lol, esp. since its almost new. plus i can always get rid of it for more than that if i don't like it. how are belt driven pedals btw? i'm not exactly sure what you meant by full circle though, because the "turbo" dw cam (cam=sprocket, correct?) looks identical in shape to the pearl... http://www.dwdrums.com/pedals/5000Pedals.htm and thx for the info on the cymbals. thats kind of what i guessed it would be. my step-bro decided to put up his planet-z bottom hat for a temp lol, but Christmas is a comin'  btw, i have a mapex and he has a ludwig, so i conglomerated the 2 for more variation |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 3096 Registered: Dec-06 | The turbo series is the "full-circle" cam, the accelerator is "3/4" and the nylon strap is the half. Tommy Lee once told me that the 5000 Turbo is the only pedal he ever played and he just got used to it and can't really play anything else now. Belt and chain are about the same really, but alot of the belt models come with the half cam and are much faster and more precise, at least for me. The 7000 series is a good pedal, they have had some reliability issues (screws coming loose, shaft detaching) with players that use them every single day for months, but 100 bucks is a very good price for that model. |
