Tama's done it again
Although the previous PowerGlides were / are still amazing pedals, these pedals are a huge improvement on their predecessor. Carrying on with the tradition of feeling the power in every stroke, it's so much smoother than the previous range of PowerGlides. This is strongly due to the Cobra Coil spring under the footboard and the new style beaters. Overall there is a lot more power, control and feel. I have been playing Iron Cobras for a long time and these new PowerGlides have helped me to re-establish why I don't want to use anything else.

Just try them
Had the old model and a pair of pearl eliminators. These are unreal. It did take a few plays to adjust though (different dimensions to previous model) but they’re extremely smooth and inviting. Love the new beaters. Convinced it boosted my low end but could just be imagining. All in all, highly recommended if you have the money. I got 16 years out of my last pair so in the long run it’s a worthy investment. Mainly used for rock, pop and metal.

Top notch!
I've now had this pedal for a few months, and I have only good things to say about it. Feel wise, adjustment wise, quality, setup... Everything. Just the way I expected and wanted! Switched from my 9000.

Tama Quality
I am more of a Sonor drums guy ( living in europe ), but this pedal is ACTUALLY amazing for the price. Of course, Tama never disappoints and is my 2nd favorite drum company for a reason ( behind sonor, ahead of Pearl ). Their hardware is just spot on. Dw sells the 5000 double at this pricepoint, it just doesnt hold up in comparison.
The coil is rock solid and easy to adjust, the pedal was pre-lubed ( if yours is "squeaky" put some WD-40 on it or any lithium based lubrification ), and the build is just solid. The inlays do not affect playing and is perfect for any genre ( I play from Jazz\Fusion to Thrash Metal ).
PS: do what you want with your life, go buy the garbage DW sells if you want it and it makes you happy, this is just a review.
I DO think DW's are overhyped by americans because, SURPRISE , THE GEAR MADE IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY COSTS LESS THAN IMPORTED GEAR, WHICH IS PRICED WITH YOUR OWN IMPORTATION TAX.
A sonor vintage 3 piece kit costs 3100 euros here and 3600 euros ( 4000-4100 dollars ) in the US ( on the Drum Center of Portsmouth ).
NO WONDER all the americans consider SONORS overpriced.

Very good pedal for metal stuff
Great pedal, good price, and perfect for fast double bass and extreme metal like Nile, Krisiun, Cryptopsy stuff!

Best pedal I've played in a while
This pedal packs quality, ease of use, and power all in 1. It's very fluid. One downside is that the cover of the beaters (the black material) lets loose of the beater itself, which leaves a black powder behind.
