I have been using less than a year, the feature of this pedal is its simple chain and sprocket serrated, similar to those of the "Camco Original" and "DW 5000 Original United States." I like to say the least, the faint sound of the string, but nothing annoying.
is one of the best "bass drum pedals" I've ever had. I already have a "Tama Iron Cobra Rolling Glide", too heavy and too much inertia, a Pearl Eliminator (one that has interchangeable cams), but the side gadjet scared me. dw 7000 the rivals from afar with the new "Yamaha Direct-drive" in terms of quality, but the DW 7000 is much more powerful.
the value is really exelente, 79 € at Thomann (the single chain model, which I use) to have such a jewel, it's almost gifts.
Simple setting, simple, genuine DW (nothing to do with the 4000) which hold the promise of a flexible Thurs. go for it.
