serpico3 Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 Wow that really comes down to personnel choice, since you've already eliminated the DW 5000. which I Love especially it's adjusting features. The others that I also really like and own are Yamahas and Axis, Oh yea by the way I also prefer the Strap instead of chain , although I have a Double chain on my DW 5000 Delta, because they only make the strap for the narrower footboard,. There again I may be wrong because just recently I've noticed DW making a Strap Pedal for their Wider board the 5002ND I don't know if they make it for a Double pedal yet though.Any who back to your dilemma, Some things to concider with a Double Pedal is Positioning everything around it , Your HiHat , Myself I play it unconventional ,where the Auxilary Pedal is outside of my HiHat pedal. reason is because I prefer my HiHat close to my snare .The other way the HiHat is a distance in relationship to snare. My students have offen asked about this problem , .And although not for everyone he accomplished his problem going to the Dualist single Pedal with double beaters, I've tried it and was very impressed , although its limitation are obvious I still prefer the Double pedal,other Makes of this Pedal are Gemini and now Sonar Giant Step. All of these though are quite pricey even more than a Dw 5000 Delta Double Pedal. I hope this helps somewhat.........serpico3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlhubley Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I used to play the Iron Cobra and switched to the eliminator when i switched technique(i now use the "heel-toe" tech) I found that the response from the iron cobra was a bit lagging. I tried this on numerous cobras because i loved the pedal, but the problem persisted so i switched. The eliminator is one INCREDIBLE pedal. This pedal can be adj in so many different ways. This way you can make the pedal completely personalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
