Pearl P3000D Demon Drive at a Glance:
  • Pearl Hardware

Pearl Hardware
Pearl knows that your gear takes a lot of abuse — onstage, in the studio, or during jams. That's why they've built a range of hardware to meet every need — and to take that punishment, day after day, night after night. When it's stability you're calling for, you — and your gear — can depend on Pearl hardware.

Smooth feel
Play a Demon Drive and the first thing you'll notice is its unparalleled smoothness The Demon Drive gets its incredible smoothness and speed through the use of ultra-precise components. Designed for skateboarding these bearings feature micro-polished steel balls for amazing low friction.

Choose finesse or power
The most unique feature of the Demon Drive pedal is Pearl's exclusive Duo-Deck, the world's first convertible footboard. Through a simple adjustment, the Demon Drive pedal can be adjusted from a traditional shortboard to a longboard pedal in seconds, offering a slightly lighter, quicker feel that is the preferred setup when speed is a necessity. The rear position provides greater power. Loosen the key bolt and move to the front position for more finesse.

Additional features of this pedal include the world's first two-position Beater Stroke Adjustment and two-position Direct Link Adjustment. Both adjustable features allow the player to create a slightly lighter or heavier feel of the pedal depending on their preferred setting. Adjusting the Duo-Deck in combination with the Beater Holder and Direct Link Adjustments yields 8 possible Pedal Configurations, allowing the player to truly create their ideal pedal configuration.

Love this pedal

I own many BD pedals, and by far this pearl is one of my favorites. I have the single pedal right now and plan on getting the double soon. I use this single more then my double DW 5000 double. Love the direct drive! Only way to go with bass pedals from now on.

Great Pedal

I don't do reviews, but this is a great pedal, top shelf all the way. Haven't converted the footboard, yet, but will try it at some point.

Great Pedal, Super Adjustable

I have to thank my sales rep Jason. The pedal arrived with one of the adjusting bolts stripped. No problem, Jason sent another one immediately. Sweetwater is a class outfit.
I played chain drive pedals for so many years I expected it would take awhile to get used to direct drive. Not so, felt completely comfortable right away. Took awhile to figure out all the options and worth the effort. I can easily adjust the Demon Drive to exactly what I need. I set it up as the fastest, most accurate pedal I ever played. Then I changed it to a fat power pedal for the pretty loud band I play with.
The Demon Drive is so well designed and built I can recommend it to any drummer looking for a direct drive pedal. I love mine; totally worth every penny I paid for it.
