he PDP 800 Series dual-chain double bass pedal has more than 20 years of PDP/DW research and development behind it. From the extended-length XF footboards with needle-bearing hinges to the low-play black telescoping pedal linkage, the PDDP812 double pedal is characterized by a sleek look and price-defiant modern performance. The PDDP812's cast concentric cams are driven by dual chains to supply a fluid response that even the most demanding Sweetwater drummers continue to rely on. The dual-post side supports really help channel power and speed directly to PDP's 2-way reversible beaters, which not only give you two types of sounds on acoustic kick drums, but suit this pedal to electronic kits as well. Underneath, you get stabilizing solid base plates and an offset hoop clamp for fast, knuckle-saving hoop attachment and removal. There's even a DW drum key secured right to the base plate — the only tool you'll need to link, break down, and customize this pedal.
