DW 3002 Double Bass Drum Pedal

took about 2 minutes to put together on my kit. factory settings are awesome. ive fiddled with the settings and every time, i come back to where i started. they are set perfectly for my playing. i play lots of genres. everything from funk and jazz to death metal, literally. it can play extremely fast despite its 'entry level' branding. if anyone out there is looking to start double bass playing, get this, NOW. but they dont lose dexterity when playing slow, smooth stuff either. they can play everything i need them to, and that is a tall order for me. the 2 way beater is amazing and i can truly get any sound i want and need from this pedal. my only, albeit VERY slight gripe, is a lack of features. but the great thing is, it doesnt need any. i have never needed fancy hoop clamps, memory locks, rotating spring tensioners. it feels fantastic and the lack of features means there is nothing to get in the way of what this pedal does. and what it does, is blow me away every time i use it.

As a musician i always need to be able to trust my kit.
I have been playing for 17 years now, and have owned and used
a multitude of different makes and models of drums and hardware.
Having made the decision to invest in a decent double pedal, to replace the mapex
thing i was using, i immediately looked at DW, with a reputation for quality and
longevity i felt there was no way i could go wrong.
While the 5000 and 9000 series pedals seemed excessively expensive, the 3000 series offered me a good step up into the world of top end gear without breaking the bank.
I have had them now for over a year and they have never let me down, having toured them accross the UK and Ireland!
