Just wondered if anyone else has used direct drive pedals before?

 

I've just ordered one of these..

As my current Pearl Eliminator has sheared a universal joint.

 

Not had the chance to try it in the metal and I'm hoping it's not £500 down the tubes!Shock

 

 

Roll on Saturday. Should be here by then and I'll be able to use it at my gig at The Underworld for it's maiden voyage!

RE: Fellow Drummers

Ooh, Chris - nice! Not tried direct drives myself, but I hear it's just a case of taking time to make adjustments to your technique and I'm sure you'll be rattling out those 220 bpms while supping a cup of tea and reading WHF simultaneously. Sorry to hear of the demise of your Eliminator though - I absolutely love mine!
