DW

collapse expand iconDescription

Industry-standard bass drum pedals have always been a DW mainstay and the Machined Direct Drive Pedal from DW is no exception. Packed with a slew of drummer-friendly features, the MDD is machined from solid aluminum and is the result of years of painstaking design and engineering. The ultimate goal is to offer players unprecedented feel and versatility, whether they currently play a direct drive pedal, or not.

In doing so, an Optimized Fulcrum Geometry linkage was developed to offer smooth, effortless action with just the right amount of beater throw. Other standard features include: a newly-designed, solid aluminum, perforated footboard with a contoured heel plate, interlocking Delta hinge, TBT (Threaded Bearing Technology) in the drive linkage and cam, Tri-Pivot swivel toe clamp, solid aluminum direct-drive cam with pivot adjustment, Vert (Vertical Sliding Spring Adjustment), Control beater with adjustable weight/impact, and more.

    Being a direct drive, this pedal does not lose energy during the transfer from foot board, to beater. DW's MDD is by and far the highest quality pedal I have ever used. Having been a drummer for 9 years, I can say the fit and finish on this pedal is unmatched. Not only this, but the fact that is crafted here in the U.S.A just makes it all the better.

  • Makes drumming easy.

    It takes all the work out of playing the bass drum... I thought they where kind of costly but once I had taken them home a tried them out, it's the best pedal I have ever used. I liked it so much I bought a single and a double pedal. You won't regret buying these pedals.
