Pearl Eliminator Single Bass Drum Pedal (double chain drive) Price: Around £100 Quality: 10/10. What more could you expect from one of the top pedals? This thing is built drat solid, but not so much that it becomes heavy to the foot as some may find with the Iron Cobras. Though some are put off by the plastic cams, don't be fooled: they are exceptionally high quality, and only the front part of the cam is plastic so there's not much chance of breakage anyway. The double chain drive feels strong and reliable. The Eliminator is often marketed as the most adjustable pedal around, and I don't doubt it. In addition to the standard pedal adjustments, the thing comes with 4 easily interchangable cams for 4 very different feels (I use the red one), with 2 additional cams available seperately. The 'PowerShifter' (sliding footplate) is a very nice feature, changing the pedal's feel from heavy to light. In fact, the pedal even allows you to remove the individual grip pads from the footboard to alter the amount of friction on your foot. It's just that adjustable. Playability: 9/10. The Eliminator is impeccably smooth and silent, and with a little bit of tweaking, will begin to feel more like an extention of your foot than a pedal. The reason it doesn't get a 10 is because like all pedals, it won't be perfect for everybody. Overall Value: 9.5/10. Sturdy, smooth and responsive, the Elims seem to be the happy medium between the tank-like Iron Cobras, the ultra-light Flying Dragons and the powerful DWs. With all the adjustments, it'd difficult to find a setting you won't like. But remember: always try before you buy. Vannaroth fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Aug 9, 2007 |
