Awesome video! I have iron cobras at home and recently tried the pearl eliminator and I gotta say, the eliminator feels so much lighter than the iron cobras. I didn’t even know it has this many upgrades and adjustability prior to watching this video. Now I know which pedals I should upgrade to next, thanks man!
Thank you very much, Man! The Eliminator Redlines, or the old Eliminators, are indeed equipped with so many possibilities, considering the price to get them and what you get after you purchase them.. Yes, it has pros and cons, but everyone/everything does.. 4 cams, 3 pedal positions, 3 footboard heights and many more.. 4 times 3 times 3, basically you’ll have 36 pedals in one, and you’re free to choose one that suits your drumming..
Man, nice review. I’ve just bought the double pedal and it feels really nice after spending 2 years with demon’s direct drive. My personal opinion, chain > direct drive, even for fast speed. Heel toe is easier on these ones.
Thanks, Man.. I appreciate you watching my honest review along with its pros and cons.. Every pedal has pros and cons, Man.. Over the past years, I’ve tried playing on different pedals.. Before I settled with Pearl's stuffs, I owned the Offset Eclipse Center Pedal and it was amazing, bass drum centered for better stereo imaging just like Mangini's latest kit, and between right and left (basically both are slave pedals that connect to the center piece) they were so easy to calibrate and every technique felt good.. But for now I have the pair I need in these Eliminator Redline and I'm proud of this series..
Hi there! I also have the demon single and dual direct drive pedals. I've been considering these Redlines. Now I'll be purchasing these because of your real-world review and then sealed by your comments right here about chain > direct drive for easier heel toe. Right now, this is critical to me as a drummer. We can save the details of 'why' for later. For now, just know this gives me great confidence in learning how to play primarily heel down with the same sense of calm confidence as I used to play rocking and sliding. Thanks for a very clear review. When something changes permanently, you can either quit or adapt. In that spirit, your review and these comments give me hope that there are more tools coming to help me adapt, and still express my full heart and my beloved Drums. Thank you thank you thank you. My very best, Ron theseattledrummer
That's a great real-world review! Thank you so much. I have a demon single and a demon double. And I just started considering a Redline. And now the considering is over! Thanks to you!

Thank you very much for your kind words.. I feel like I need to inform this to the world, that is why.. Every gear needs to have this kind of breakdown and review.. I am glad that you’ve made your decision.. Cheers..
I see this was posted 3 years ago so maybe the price was different then; but as of October 2024, the single pedal sells for about $285 USD. I can not imagine it costs Pearl that much to manufacture these since there's no machining involved. $200 for a brand new single pedal would be a fair price in today's market; all things considered.
Thanks for checking my review out, and congratulations on your new Redline pedals, Man!! Experiment on the settings to find the ones that will suit your style of drumming! Rock on, Man.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome review man, I really like how in depth and descriptive you were of everything. I’ve been eyeing these up for a while but I also have been thinking of doubling down and getting the trick pro v1’s. I still haven’t made a decision lol
Thank you, Man.. Thanks for stopping by.. Beware that some may like or dislike direct drive pedals.. Depending on what musical genres you’re into and what techniques you’re using, get what’s gonna accomodate those points, and if I’m not mistaken, I believe that Trick V1 comes both in Direct Drive and Chain Drive.. If you ever get the chance to try them all, please try.. This In-depth review is based on my experience with this pedal and I chose this one from many choices.. Cheers..
Very good review! I appreciate your thoroughness and objective options. I have soooo many pedals, including this one in single and double. I like it better than the DW9000 and almost as well as my Yamaha 9500. My mapex falcon is also a great pedal IMO.
@@arjunsajeev3406 The Mapex Falcon is an exceptionally good pedal, especially for the price. I replaced the bearings with Canopus Speed bearings and the performance improved significantly. I would recommend the Falcon pedal to anyone regardless of their budget.
Thank you very much, Man! I appreciate you checking it out.. I tried to do my best to describe the features and what I like about it/don’t.. Rock on! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I prefer the red cam, I’ve used my from Irish folk music, to death metal, and everything in between. I recommend these pedals highly to anyone look for a great all around pedal. My only real gripes are, they should offer a longboard version, and converting the double pedal to two singles, is a pain in the ass, how difficult would it be to put a beater holder on the slave pedal?, the spring assembly was easy to move, but basically having to take the pedal apart to get two single?, C’mon Pearl.
I am 100% with you, and personally I think that will not happen because they’ve already have the Demon Drive (P3000 series which is shortboard-longboard convertible) and the Demonator (P900 series which is permanently longboard).. As for converting into two singles, you can check on RUclips, there is one guy who has succeeded in converting the double pedal into two singles.. Search it up, man.. And if I’m not mistaken, ACD Unlimited makes conversion for our pedal.. Give them a look.. Thanks for stopping by, man.. Cheers.. Subscribe if you haven’t.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hi there, Tim. Thanks so much for your video. I am a beginner and spent days trying to work out what pair of double bass pedals would provide value for money but also suit my 5"0 frame (DW 5000s would have likely been difficult!). This helped me a lot and I ordered myself a pair! Much appreciated.
Another person who buys the Redline pedal after watching my review! While I no longer use these pedals, you’re welcome and thanks for checking this video out.. Enjoy your new pedals and rock on.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hi Tim, I saw in this video that there are black and gray traction grips, is there a difference or is it just the color choice or will we get a random color from the purchase? Thanks man, your video is awesome!
The traction dots come in red, Man.. If the traction dots are in silver, I think you’re referring to the P-922.. Thanks for checking this video out.. Cheers.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I had the original eliminators and they rusted out eventually. I got the demon drives and it was a mistake. They are too awkward feeling. I used the blue cam on my eliminators with the pedal footboard set in the middle position. I can’t get the demon drive to feel anything like an eliminator pedal.
We can’t win against the force of nature, oxidation and rust will build up eventually.. Therefore a maintenance is a must.. Demon Drive (direct drive) is still a remarkable pedal, but I guess it’s not made for everyone.. You and I are one of them.. Anyway, thanks for stopping by, Dude.. Cheers..
Great review! I’ve had Tama Speed Cobras for like 8+ years, good pedals, but they’re starting to lose their sensitivity, they’ve been through a LOT of gigs. Been thinking about getting new pedals, after looking around and watching this video, I may have to pick these up…
Thanks a lot Man.. Thanks for stopping by, and I’m happy to recommend you these pedals, with honest review and pros/cons listed as well, so you know what to expect.. So far, these pedal work very well for me.. Let me know when you’ve finally get these.. Cheers..
I'm using the belt-version (two 2050b for my two kicks on the acoustic kit) and one 2052b-double pedal for my Roland td17kvx. I'm using the red cams. They are both really great and allowing me with 13 playing Powermetal (Arch Enemy, Helloween, 5FDP etc.). I really love them! For me the single pedal works even better. Great video man! By the way, Dani Löble from Helloween is using the too, I believe.
Yes, Man.. Not saying that other brands are worse than the brands I chose, some may be better, some may be worse, each has its own pros and cons.. In fact, I even found some cons with Redline.. But anyway, you should get one of these, Man.. Versatility number one.. Keep rockin'! Cheers.. 🤘🤘
I have both. The pearl is a bit harder to control, but a bit faster. The iron cobra the opposite, a bit easier to control but a bit slower. It’s a tough choice but for now I’m with the iron cobra for the control, maybe if I get better at control I’ll switch back to pearl.
I like Matt garska actually prefer the round rolling glide cam for the iron cobra over the power glide version. Imo if you go iron cobra go rolling glide, it’s still plenty powerful enough.
@@larrytate1657 I ended up getting the Pearl pedals a couple of months ago. I’ve been very satisfied with them. They have the feel that I have wanted for many years. I did have a 2002 model Tama Iron Cobra double pedal. I wasn’t sure if the newer generation were much different besides the Cobra coil. I also had the DW 5000 pedals for many years and most recently the Yamaha FP9 direct drives. As of right now the Pearl are my favorites with the oversized clear/white cams.
Thank you so much sir. This video was one of the reason why I bought this Pearl Eliminator Redline double pedal. And now after 7months, I'm experiencing squeak sound on my pedals. You've mention that you used Ninja oil. But should I consider other brands, like WD40 white lithium grease/ silicon spray or bearing oils from skateshop for alternative? Thanks in advance!
Hey, thanks for the feedback.. My pedals did not have any squeak at all until the day I switched pedal, yet I did some maintenance by WD40 just to kept ‘em feeling as new.. In my opinion, WD40 and bearing oil would be great options to solve this problem, make sure to pay attention to where the squeaky part is.. Rock on, my buddy.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@TimPetersonMusic This is noted sir. You mean the WD40 white lithium grease, and not the WD40 cleaner? Alright! I'll buy the bearing oil also since you've suggested it. Thanks sit!
Recently i bought an Pearl double pedal....is an excellent pedal,only concern is about the beaters ...there are very heavy and you cannot achieve speed.....
Good choice, man, good choice.. The beaters are indeed a little bit on the heavier side, but still lighter than wood beaters out there, in my opinion.. If you want lighter feel, you can adjust the beater height and the beater angle, but sacrificing a bit of the punch.. Which Pearl double pedal did you get? This exact model or the other ones?
I find if I push the cam button all the way in it's hard to pull out. I have to press it less than all the way in to remove the cam easier. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the serious review! Talking about the price, maybe I'll stick with the new eliminator solo series. But I'm still confused on which cam series that will fit me, the red one or black. They're both very interesting 😁
Eliminator Solo, both black or red, costs $149 (single) and $399 (double).. If you’re playing two bass drums, then I assume you’re playing fast stuffs like I do, then go with two Red Solos, Man.. Awesome accelerated feel.. After trying all those cams, I finally came back to the red cams, second best is the white ones (feels like DW pedals).. Cheers, Man..
@@TimPetersonMusic actually I'm about to start to play drums again, but yes I play fast stuff back then like DF and Helloween. I play double pedal, not double bass btw. Thanks a lot for your recommendation! Looking forward for the red one! 😀
@@stianhelldiver3819 P932 Demonator is also a good deal.. And yes, permanent longboard, you don’t have to worry about that.. But I’m not really sure about the chain (it’s only single chained, means less response than double chained pedals)
Nice video my friend sometime I will have a video camera back in my life and I will get back recording random drum videos. I do not do any video editing and I am very surprised I am over 90 subscribers now. I like how I post my videos the way they are produced naturally unedited Improv drummer.
Danke.. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.. Are you planning to purchase this/these Redline series pedal(s), or do you have it already? 🤘🤘 Let me know how you feel about this pedal..
@@TimPetersonMusic i want to buying it, but i didn‘t know with chain or strap. But you are the first one who explain that i can change it! So at first i buy it with chsins and maybe after i can try the straps. I think i can change it on the double paddle as well🤘🏻🥁♠️
@@ddidrums Yes, although I have never played the belt/strap version before, that is a great option to have.. You buy the chain drive, then you also buy the conversion belt, that will be the same as buying two sets of each..
Thanks for stopping by, Scott.. There are so many combinations that you can try, just find one that matches your playing style.. Here are listed some settings that may help you.. Power-Shifter (PS) setting = 1 means default, 2 means away from you, 3 means close to you Chain setting = 1 means default, 2 means top (footboard lower), 3 means bottom (footboard tilted up)
Setting #1 = Red Cam, PS-3, Chain-1, beater angle 45degrees, spring tension medium-tight (my go to setting, for now this setting works for me and compliments how I execute the heel-toe technique) Setting #2 = White Cam, PS-2, Chain-2, beater angle 60degrees, spring tension medium (similar feel to any DW chain drive pedals) Setting #3 = Black Cam, PS-1, Chain-3, beater angle 45degrees, spring tension medium-loose (similar feel to any pedals in general) Settings #4 = Blue Cam, PS-1, Chain-2, beater angle 60degrees, spring tension medium-loose (feels good if you like burying your beater to the bass drum, more control) Setting #5 = White Cam, PS-3, Chain-1, beater angle 45%, spring tension medium-tight (pedal[s] is/are gonna feel very light, perfect for any genres in general) Setting #6 = Red Cam, PS-3, Chain-3, beater angle 45%, spring tension tight (beater[s] is/are gonna accelerate even faster to the bass drum, your foot/feet might feel a little bit out of control sometimes)
Good stuff! Could someone describe the real difference between the red and black cams bc I'd like to get the $400 version which comes with one or the other. I play mostly classic rock (Zep, Rush, Sabbath) I like jazz too though. Comments appreciated! Rock on y'all
Dude, I am sorry for the late reply.. I no longer use these pedals but based on my experience, here’s my comment.. Black cam is circular, it provides the most natural feel, as for the Red cam it has a more pointy angle at the front top of the cam you’ll feel more acceleration towards the bass drum head.. If you play Classic Rock and Jazz, I recommend you to get the black cam, but if you want to explore more style of musics, then the one in the video might be it, Man.. Rock on.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I ordered these to replace my DW 5000s. Looking forward to going back on faster double bass runs that I couldn't do with the heavy ass 5000's lol, thanks for the review!
Glad that you’ve made the change.. Not saying that DW’s pedals are bad, because they are not, but we drummers have our own feet to feel which pedal suits our playing style.. Anyway, thank you for stopping by! Cheers!
@@TimPetersonMusic DW make amazing quality pedals, I couldn't recommend their gear enough. It was just a matter of personal preference, I could never get the DW 5000's to feel good for myself, Pearl on the other hand have never let me down! All the best!
What is your opinion on iron cobra powerglide and iron cobra rolling glide ? Have you tried both of them ? How are those 2 pedals feel in your opinions ?
I tried the Iron Cobra, but I forgot which one.. Looking at the cams, I believe that the Powerglide is more like the Red Cam on Eliminator and the Rollingglide is similar to the Black (if not Blue) Cam on Eliminator.. If I were to play on these pedals, I would most likely pick the Powerglide because the angle of how the chain falls is much more of a right angle therefore more acceleration towards the kick drum.. Cheers, Man.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@Mike_Savin Oh I see.. Yeah, nowadays venues only provide one bass drum.. Unless we bring our own, Anyway, I wish you the best of luck, Man.. Thanks for your reply.. 👍🏻
I tried all four and always came back to the red cam, as it my playing style and gave me the most acceleration towards the bass drum head.. I didn’t get a chance to try the yellow and purple cams though.. Now that I’m signed to another pedals, I replicate the feel from the red cam on my previous pedals to these new ones.. Thanks a lot, my Man.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video man. I currently use Pearl eliminator double pedal the previous version with belt drive, the blue cam for now is my favourite, it has light feel with a lot of power when you hit the bass drum. I'm wondering if the new Redline model is smoother because of the ninja bearings, what do you think ?
Thank you for stopping by and checking my gear review, Man.. I’ve played the previous Eliminator before, and yes I agree that the Eliminator Redline is smoother than the previous Eliminator due to the fact that the bearing does contributes a lot to the overall performance of the pedal.. As for me, the Red cam is my favorite, because it suits my playing style..
One of my students has the DW 9000 double pedal, the pedal and the response are good enough, but with his pedal tuning, I couldn’t easily play heel-toe technique.. Maybe because I didn’t try to adjust the pedal due to the fact that I didn’t want to mess with his tuning.. The beaters are too heavy for my taste, by the way..
In the P2000C or P2050C, you can really feel each cam's characteristic.. On certain technique, some cams may work, on others it may feel a little bit different.. As for the RH2000 or RH2050, I only put the red cam to match the cams I'm using on my 2 P2050Cs.. I am not sure about the difference of each cam for the RH2000/RH2050, because 90% of the time my left foot is on the left bass drum pedal and I always set my left hihat to half-open.. Feel free to experiment on which cam you prefer for the RH, and please let me know if you feel the differences..
@Joey Cymbals I have a previous version Pearl Eliminator and I can tell you that each cam offers a different feel, it depends what your playing style is, you can adjust the pedal how you want
I have black, white, red and blue. All feel the same in my remote hi hat (RH2050). The difference is only in the bass pedal. This is what Pearl saids: The Black Cam is Pearl’s original linear-feel cam for smooth, well-balanced action. The White Cam is also linear but larger in diameter for a lighter feel and increased power. The Blue cam is offset & starts with a light feel at the beginning of the stroke & accelerates with speed & power upon impact. The Red Cam is radically offset and provides great response for sensitive footwork and extreme power upon impact. The Purple Cam provides aggressive acceleration for high power and response, second only to the Red Cam. The Yellow Cam provides a slight inverse action. When maximum power is required, this is the cam of choice.
Thanks a lot, Man! I hope this video educates and helps.. As for Bleed, I wish I could play it in real time (115BPM).. LOL.. Thanks for stopping by.. Cheers!
@@josephforcino8099 Heel toe technique feels awesome with this pedal.. Responsiveness is great, but not with the blue cam, in my opinion.. Your opinion may differ.. You should get these pedal right away.. Great pedal, great deal, so many adjustments possibilities you can get..

Hey, thanks for the feedback..
My pedals did not have any squeak at all until the day I switched pedal, yet I did some maintenance by WD40 just to kept ‘em feeling as new..
In my opinion, WD40 and bearing oil would be great options to solve this problem, make sure to pay attention to where the squeaky part is.. Rock on, my buddy.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@TimPetersonMusic This is noted sir. You mean the WD40 white lithium grease, and not the WD40 cleaner?
Alright! I'll buy the bearing oil also since you've suggested it. Thanks sit!
Recently i bought an Pearl double pedal....is an excellent pedal,only concern is about the beaters ...there are very heavy and you cannot achieve speed.....
Good choice, man, good choice.. The beaters are indeed a little bit on the heavier side, but still lighter than wood beaters out there, in my opinion.. If you want lighter feel, you can adjust the beater height and the beater angle, but sacrificing a bit of the punch.. Which Pearl double pedal did you get? This exact model or the other ones?
@@TimPetersonMusic I have the 2052 redline model ..and i ve change the original driveshaft with an trick driveshaft model...
@@metinosman9842 That is an excellent choice and a great conversion, man.. How does the Trick shaft feel compared to Pearl’s?
@@TimPetersonMusic Trick drive shaft is way better than Pearl drive shaft...is smooth,no latency,and no friction
.
of course you can achieve speed with those beaters lol
I find if I push the cam button all the way in it's hard to pull out. I have to press it less than all the way in to remove the cam easier. I hope this helps.
Very true.. Thanks for the additional information, my friend.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers..
Idk what to choose
These pedals or Tama 910 speed cobra
Any recommendations please?
I prefer the Pearl P2050C/P2052C over the Tama HP910LWN, Man.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@TimPetersonMusic Thank you so much bro
Thanks for the serious review! Talking about the price, maybe I'll stick with the new eliminator solo series. But I'm still confused on which cam series that will fit me, the red one or black. They're both very interesting 😁
Eliminator Solo, both black or red, costs $149 (single) and $399 (double).. If you’re playing two bass drums, then I assume you’re playing fast stuffs like I do, then go with two Red Solos, Man.. Awesome accelerated feel.. After trying all those cams, I finally came back to the red cams, second best is the white ones (feels like DW pedals).. Cheers, Man..
@@TimPetersonMusic actually I'm about to start to play drums again, but yes I play fast stuff back then like DF and Helloween. I play double pedal, not double bass btw. Thanks a lot for your recommendation! Looking forward for the red one! 😀
@@TimPetersonMusic oh, wdyt about demonator? It has a beautiful longboard..
@@stianhelldiver3819 P932 Demonator is also a good deal.. And yes, permanent longboard, you don’t have to worry about that.. But I’m not really sure about the chain (it’s only single chained, means less response than double chained pedals)
@@TimPetersonMusic yeah that's what I'm worrying about, the single chained. I'll go with the eliminator red solo, thanks a lot mate! 😀
Nice video my friend sometime I will have a video camera back in my life and I will get back recording random drum videos. I do not do any video editing and I am very surprised I am over 90 subscribers now. I like how I post my videos the way they are produced naturally unedited Improv drummer.
Thank you, Man.. Cheers.. 🤘🤘
You help me out very much with the pedal. Thank u so much🙏🏻 keep going with the good work. U got a sub more😜
Greetings from germany🥃♠️🥁
Danke.. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.. Are you planning to purchase this/these Redline series pedal(s), or do you have it already? 🤘🤘 Let me know how you feel about this pedal..
@@TimPetersonMusic i want to buying it, but i didn‘t know with chain or strap. But you are the first one who explain that i can change it!
So at first i buy it with chsins and maybe after i can try the straps.
I think i can change it on the double paddle as well🤘🏻🥁♠️
@@ddidrums Yes, although I have never played the belt/strap version before, that is a great option to have.. You buy the chain drive, then you also buy the conversion belt, that will be the same as buying two sets of each..
Just picked up this pedal. What are your setting preferences in terms of cams, powershifter setting, and chain setting?
Thanks for stopping by, Scott.. There are so many combinations that you can try, just find one that matches your playing style.. Here are listed some settings that may help you..
Power-Shifter (PS) setting =
1 means default, 2 means away from you, 3 means close to you
Chain setting =
1 means default, 2 means top (footboard lower), 3 means bottom (footboard tilted up)
Setting #1 = Red Cam, PS-3, Chain-1, beater angle 45degrees, spring tension medium-tight
(my go to setting, for now this setting works for me and compliments how I execute the heel-toe technique)
Setting #2 = White Cam, PS-2, Chain-2, beater angle 60degrees, spring tension medium
(similar feel to any DW chain drive pedals)
Setting #3 = Black Cam, PS-1, Chain-3, beater angle 45degrees, spring tension medium-loose
(similar feel to any pedals in general)
Settings #4 = Blue Cam, PS-1, Chain-2, beater angle 60degrees, spring tension medium-loose
(feels good if you like burying your beater to the bass drum, more control)
Setting #5 = White Cam, PS-3, Chain-1, beater angle 45%, spring tension medium-tight
(pedal[s] is/are gonna feel very light, perfect for any genres in general)
Setting #6 = Red Cam, PS-3, Chain-3, beater angle 45%, spring tension tight
(beater[s] is/are gonna accelerate even faster to the bass drum, your foot/feet might feel a little bit out of control sometimes)
Good stuff! Could someone describe the real difference between the red and black cams bc I'd like to get the $400 version which comes with one or the other. I play mostly classic rock (Zep, Rush, Sabbath) I like jazz too though. Comments appreciated! Rock on y'all
Dude, I am sorry for the late reply.. I no longer use these pedals but based on my experience, here’s my comment.. Black cam is circular, it provides the most natural feel, as for the Red cam it has a more pointy angle at the front top of the cam you’ll feel more acceleration towards the bass drum head.. If you play Classic Rock and Jazz, I recommend you to get the black cam, but if you want to explore more style of musics, then the one in the video might be it, Man.. Rock on.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I ordered these to replace my DW 5000s. Looking forward to going back on faster double bass runs that I couldn't do with the heavy ass 5000's lol, thanks for the review!
Glad that you’ve made the change.. Not saying that DW’s pedals are bad, because they are not, but we drummers have our own feet to feel which pedal suits our playing style.. Anyway, thank you for stopping by! Cheers!
@@TimPetersonMusic DW make amazing quality pedals, I couldn't recommend their gear enough. It was just a matter of personal preference, I could never get the DW 5000's to feel good for myself, Pearl on the other hand have never let me down! All the best!
What is your opinion on iron cobra powerglide and iron cobra rolling glide ?
Have you tried both of them ?
How are those 2 pedals feel in your opinions ?
I tried the Iron Cobra, but I forgot which one..
Looking at the cams, I believe that the Powerglide is more like the Red Cam on Eliminator and the Rollingglide is similar to the Black (if not Blue) Cam on Eliminator.. If I were to play on these pedals, I would most likely pick the Powerglide because the angle of how the chain falls is much more of a right angle therefore more acceleration towards the kick drum.. Cheers, Man.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@TimPetersonMusic Thank you so much for the reply 🙏☺️🙏
@Mike_Savin It’s a pleasure, My Man.. I hope my information helps you.. Are you playing a double or two singles?
@@TimPetersonMusic I'm playing a double ... Because most of the stage in my country uses only one bass drum 😊
@@Mike_Savin Oh I see.. Yeah, nowadays venues only provide one bass drum.. Unless we bring our own, Anyway, I wish you the best of luck, Man.. Thanks for your reply.. 👍🏻
Price jumped up quite a bit.
Good evening
What cam is most fast and easy to play?
Tnx a lot
Red, and sometimes white..
Those two accomodate my style of playing really well.. Cheers, my Friend.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Which cam did you prefer ? Thanks
I tried all four and always came back to the red cam, as it my playing style and gave me the most acceleration towards the bass drum head.. I didn’t get a chance to try the yellow and purple cams though.. Now that I’m signed to another pedals, I replicate the feel from the red cam on my previous pedals to these new ones.. Thanks a lot, my Man.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks for reply. I seem to switch between white and black cams. I seem to feel them better.Thanks again.@@TimPetersonMusic
Great video man. I currently use Pearl eliminator double pedal the previous version with belt drive, the blue cam for now is my favourite, it has light feel with a lot of power when you hit the bass drum. I'm wondering if the new Redline model is smoother because of the ninja bearings, what do you think ?
Thank you for stopping by and checking my gear review, Man.. I’ve played the previous Eliminator before, and yes I agree that the Eliminator Redline is smoother than the previous Eliminator due to the fact that the bearing does contributes a lot to the overall performance of the pedal.. As for me, the Red cam is my favorite, because it suits my playing style..
how would you compare this to the DW 9000?
One of my students has the DW 9000 double pedal, the pedal and the response are good enough, but with his pedal tuning, I couldn’t easily play heel-toe technique.. Maybe because I didn’t try to adjust the pedal due to the fact that I didn’t want to mess with his tuning.. The beaters are too heavy for my taste, by the way..
Hi, is there any noticeable difference with all those cams in the RH2050?
Anyone reading this have experience?
In the P2000C or P2050C, you can really feel each cam's characteristic.. On certain technique, some cams may work, on others it may feel a little bit different.. As for the RH2000 or RH2050, I only put the red cam to match the cams I'm using on my 2 P2050Cs.. I am not sure about the difference of each cam for the RH2000/RH2050, because 90% of the time my left foot is on the left bass drum pedal and I always set my left hihat to half-open.. Feel free to experiment on which cam you prefer for the RH, and please let me know if you feel the differences..
@Joey Cymbals I have a previous version Pearl Eliminator and I can tell you that each cam offers a different feel, it depends what your playing style is, you can adjust the pedal how you want
I have black, white, red and blue. All feel the same in my remote hi hat (RH2050). The difference is only in the bass pedal.
This is what Pearl saids:
The Black Cam is Pearl’s original linear-feel cam for smooth, well-balanced action.
The White Cam is also linear but larger in diameter for a lighter feel and increased power.
The Blue cam is offset & starts with a light feel at the beginning of the stroke & accelerates with speed & power upon impact.
The Red Cam is radically offset and provides great response for sensitive footwork and extreme power upon impact.
The Purple Cam provides aggressive acceleration for high power and response, second only to the Red Cam.
The Yellow Cam provides a slight inverse action. When maximum power is required, this is the cam of choice.
Sir please recommend me a good Bass drum padal...
Pearl Eliminator Redline is a great pedal..
Want to go all out?
Czarcie Kopyto pedals!
Rock on, buddy..
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
nice video/review. get better insight on the cam. also like the meshuggah thing you do
Thanks a lot, Man! I hope this video educates and helps.. As for Bleed, I wish I could play it in real time (115BPM).. LOL.. Thanks for stopping by.. Cheers!
@@TimPetersonMusic can you explain the feel of the power shifter (pedal position)?
Subbed
Appreciate it very much, my Man.. Thank you.. 🤘🤘
How do these pedals feel doing heel toe tech.
@@josephforcino8099 Heel toe technique feels awesome with this pedal.. Responsiveness is great, but not with the blue cam, in my opinion.. Your opinion may differ.. You should get these pedal right away.. Great pedal, great deal, so many adjustments possibilities you can get..
Three years ago it was $200. Now it's. $284. fml
Thank you for the update Man.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
