The PDP 700 Series single-chain double bass pedal has more than 20 years of PDP/DW research and development packed into it. From the elegant brushed metal footboards (which feel great on bare feet, by the way) to the low-play black telescoping pedal linkage, the PDDP712 double pedal is characterized by a sleek look and price-defiant modern performance. Each of the PDDP712's cast concentric cams is driven by a single chain to supply a whiplike classic response that old-school double players — including many of us at Sweetwater — favor. The dual-post side supports really help channel power and speed directly to PDP's 2-way reversible beaters, which not only give you two types of sounds on acoustic kick drums, but suit this pedal to electronic kits as well. Underneath, you get a stabilizing secondary-side solid base plate and a primary-side offset hoop clamp for fast, knuckle-saving hoop attachment and removal. There's even a DW drum key secured right to the base plate — the only tool you'll need to link, break down, and customize this pedal.
