    Pearl eliminators are awesome and versatile and well priced.
    Tama Iron Cobras right next to them..

    but if you really want like the best, while breaking the bank..

    Axis A21 double pedal would be my choice. i play a single, and it is godly.

    or i hear a lot of people also like Trick pedals, but i havent messed around with them at all...



    i dont recommend DW pedals

    Firstly, there is not best... They are all personal preference. Or else everyone would post the same pedal
    And secondly, there are already quite a few pages on this topic, read through them because they will have the same answers that are in this

    It's all personal preference, go to your local drum store and try some out for yourself.

    It's definitely personal preference.I've always loved the DW5000.I got one that was brand new on ebay for $180.00.It was a steal,every once in awhile you can find deals like that.

    You want the best? The very best? That no pedal ever was? To play fast is your real test, you want to roll without a pause?

    Will you travel from store to store, searching far and wide? Testing each pedal to understand, the power of their glide?

    DOUBLE PEDAL!

    +1 to everything said here, with the exception that Elims imo are slightly above the IC's in that you have multiple cams to choose from (i.e. with Elims you have 4-6 potential different feeling pedals in one vs one IC)

    If you have 2 bass drums as you stated in your other thread; you need 2 pingle sedels! A bouble dass sedal would be better if you have 1 dass brum.

    " have a 9 piece pearl export series kit I bought in late 80s used.They all have matching seriel numbers even the snare. 10,12,13,14 inch toms 16,18 inch floor toms two 22 inch bass drums and 14 in snare. they are canary yellow in color . I don't know if that's the true name of the color...but that's what I call it .can anyone tell me ant info on them and what theyed be worth today?" therocker

    I don't have any ant info on them and don't know what the yed is worth today. Good Luck!

    I do have 45 years of feedback experience. It's okay if it's intentional; but unintentional feedback is nerve racking at times.

    Hope this helps!
