With its swayless stability and sport-bike-inspired visuals, the Yamaha FP9 double bass pedal delivers style and performance that can please the industry's most discriminating players. Ball bearings throughout the pedal, as well as front and rear spikes and a frame-inside-a-frame design, prevent rocking, sliding, and pedal play of any kind. This results in a smooth, nearly 1:1 transfer of energy, even at high intensities. Yamaha's 3-way Quick-Adjusting Cams, paired with independently adjustable footboards and beaters, make the FP9 a pedal tweaker's delight.

This is my dream double pedal.☺
I own it, and it is indeed as good as it looks.
Nick is the GOAT of product reviews - the shopping channel is gonna steal him !
Yamaha have Always Made Excellent Drums and Equipment for the Professional Drummer.
Absolute agree. In my opinion the Yamaha - hardware always is underrated by most of the drummers. Pedals, Hi- Hat- and snare- stands; every piece is in a high quality, very useful and has a stability for many, many years. Love it!
I think I'm going to go with these instead of the demon drives but in the direct driver version. The adjustability is what sold me. Not to mention the ease of spring tension adjustment.
This is a really smartly designed pedal.
I absolutely love my Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive Double Pedal HOWEVER, I recently received this Yamaha FP9 and WOW!!! The smoothness, power and response (for me) is a step up from my Pearl! I love this pedal!
From the demon drive? Wow man that is a big call and good to hear an honest comment 👍🏻. Is your yamaha a direct drive?
The strap is awesome for fast, light stuff. My favorite double pedal! 🎉
I still have a late 90s Yamaha db pedal and its still very much working, new springs and beaters and a bit of silicon grease has kept the pedal alive since 97.
I have on from the early 90's. I've only ever had to change one of the springs and there is a small crack in the linkage housing piece. Great for a 30 year old pedal that I use everyday.
Same here. I've been rocking a Yamaha DFP-860 since 1995.
Sure wish we saw more pedal action in a promotion for a "pedal", but great content, thanks Sweetwater!
I've allways compare pedals with Yamaha's, they are the smoothest and lightest drum pedals, even the most basic one
I have the FP9 single and must say it's the best pedal I've ever played, and the last one I'll ever need. Incredibly smooth and stable. I will say it's "over engineered" with so many adjustments, and it took me a coupe of months to finally get the right feel, but it's just fantastic. And not that I really care what a bass drum pedal looks like to be truthful, this one is totally a piece of art and visually stunning. Overall? It's totally RAD!! Great review, Nick. Thank you.
I just got my FP9 double kick pedals. I've been tinkering around and finding it challenging to find that "sweet" spot. What are some tips that helped you get there - example - beater height? or foot pedal height? i havent found a happy place just yet. any tips would be greatly appreciated!
in my opinion, the best double pedal on the market
You don't have to push the beater weight holder back up. It just goes back up by itself.
Is this a lighter feeling pedal? I also heard that this one suffers from the dreaded beater flying off like other Yammy pedals. It seems to check the boxes so I'm interested...just want to know what an educated user of the product thinks. Thanks
That floor tom is incredible!
Mine should be here tomorrow! Also, check out the awesome cymbal stands with that amazing tilt.
The key bolt on the chain strap hits the crossbar click click pedal machine. I had to put flat head screws on mine. I don't know how the let that go out the factory?
Double pedal chain version otw, been using a Pearl Demon direct drive for a few years and just never been able to get it set up, so on to the next..
Love the pedal..yamaha rocks 😁😬✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔
You can't actually use both weights together, because they fall out. Instruction manual tells you that too.
Yet mine footboard does have side to side movement.
I never knew Jon Lovitz was so knowledgeable about drums
I put both weights on mine at same time but they fell out and i lost one and i read up on it and found out your only suposed to use 1 at a time.
i just got an order placed for the double direct drive version. ill update aug. 31 delivery day.
How "long" is the footboard?? Is it standard...or considered a long board??? Thanks. :)
It's considered a longboard. From the hinge to the toe, the playable area of the footboard is precisely 11". The heel plate is exactly 2 and 5/16", or in other words, it's 1/16" longer than 2¼". So the total length is 13 and 5/16".
Nice review
But,...I want to buy a new double pedal, and I¨m looking between Ludwig L205SF Speed Flyer Double Pedal and Yamaha DFP9C Double Chain Pedal. Can you make a review about Ludwig pedal, and give some of your oppinion, wich one is better to buy? Thank you:)
Hello Sweetwater, what hardware do you use exactly? Greetings from the Netherlands.
Can you convert this double pedal into two single pedals?
Curious about this too
I'm just curious, can you get plastic beaders that accept the weights to use with mesh heads?
hey i bought from another suplier but my driveshaft comes loose yamaha inc got fixes. im tightning it as tight as be
Why doesn’t it have a drum key holder?
Does anyone know it this’ll hit clean double strokes for death metal? Or should I go with something more like an axis or truck pedal for that… what’s the difference?
Hey, Brodie. Thanks so much for your interest. These are definitely capable. They are super smooth.
I hope this helps.

Do the springs also sway as they do in some other high-end peddles? I don't think so on this model. I'll have to research it.
What do you mean by swaying? You mean like does the spring turn with the cam? Your springs shouldn’t ever be swaying around especially if you’re playing metal music on like a trick pedal or the czarcie kopyto space pedals. This pedal is very solid and it feels similar to any other mid range direct drive pedal.
Yamaha STILL have asymmetrical beaters on the double version, Tama too, so lazy.
does anyone have suggestions for a drum set for gigging?
Yamaha stage customs are great, as well as tama imperialstar drums
@@EvilSewnit Thanks, I'm thinking about Tama Superstar classic, seems like a good price
@@EvilSewnit stage customs sound awesome
Can you do a review on the Yamaha stage custom?
Anybody know if this would be an appropriate pedal for Jazz? I’m a pretty light player. A lot of these newer pedals seem engineered for 500 BPM death metal whatever. Once in a while I kick up some dust with some funk or blues but I do appreciate a well-engineered pedal. I have DW9000 that I’m very happy with but it’s a little chunky, might want something a bit lighter and less chunky.
Hello, Greg! You'll be hard pressed to find a better built lightweight kick drum pedal! The FP9 is widely adjustable and if set up appropriately, will certainly be a great fit for jazz.
Thanks for the interest!

I have the direct drive and my only complaint so far is that the slave pedal doesn't have velcro and the spurs aren't enough to keep it in place.
It's enough if you use a carpeted drum mat. My secondary FP9 doesn't move. Ever.
@@TwoCablesOCN I have it in a room with rug and the with another rug under the drums with the spurs completely extended and couldn't keep it stationary.
Then you need one that has a different kind of carpeted surface, one where the spurs can dig in and get stuck. I don't know what to recommend though because mine is an entry-way carpeted rubber mat like you see in entry-ways of stores and office buildings. It's the kind that are floppy and you roll up (or fold up if you so choose) when you want to pick it up and carry it. I imagine the rug you're using is somehow just letting the spurs slide on it.
So, it's not pedals, it's your rug.
Edit: I acquired the mat when I knew the company who supplied them to the store was going to get rid of it. It looked like it was still in perfect condition to me, so I was able to take it since they were going to trash it anyway.
@@TwoCablesOCN I've actually got a block with velcro that in from of the 2nd pedal to keep it from moving and it works. But you're correct, the rug is pretty thin and hard to dig in to, but it worked well when I used a Trick pedal instead.
Well I don't know what else to say, but my secondary doesn't move forward, nor does it ever turn. It's like it's stuck to my mat with glue or Velcro, or it's like it's attached to a secondary bass drum.
I bought this pedal "single" and returned it after a week of playing it because:
1-the weight of the foot board is distributed not in a good way when it comes to playing fast
2-the beater is too light despite the added weights you can add and you only can add one of both weight cuz the second one will fly away after a few minutes of playing
3-when playing fast the foot board starts making some noise as it does not return to its original position fast enough
4-the beater felt started to wear off already after 15 hours of playing which is totally unacceptable
so bottom line I think the pedal is very beautiful in design and also very fluid in motion but it doesn't really get the job done and I don't think it's durable.. this pedal needs improvements so after few generation it will eventually be a good pedal but at the moment I think it's not.
Hey just a question from a fellow drummer. Are you a really seriously hard/heavy player? Because honestly this pedal looks really solid and beautifully built. I’m sure Yamaha does a lot of field testing before they release something, so I’m just wondering… Maybe you need a real tank/workhorse type pedal. I am a jazz player so I don’t really put pedals to the test in the same way as a heavy player does… Anyway, your complaints are probably totally valid, just wondering.
@@rhythmfield well I guess after all you could get used to any pedal with enough playing time on the thing however it really didn't feel worth the price knowing that the high end tamas are around a 100$ cheaper and I personally think they provide more stability that the light weight flat footboard and then the beater which isn't that bad because I use after market beaters anyway but yea I just think Tama is again a clear winner on the race for the best value for money with their iron and speed cobras
Yamaha STILL hasn't leaned how to center their beaters. Good luck getting consistent tone when one of your beaters is centered and one is off-center on the drumhead.
Bill Mint, you can always move the right beater to the right.
it seems all companies overlook this critical issue of design- if you can't get the beaters to strike an identical distance to each side of the vertical axis, the sound won't be the same. And moving the main beater way to the right makes the separation too far and good tone would be lost.
looks like a racing motorcycle
Is that black felt going to leave marks on coated bass heads?
It might leave black felt dust, but it doesn't hurt anything and you're the only one who is going to see it. It's not any different than getting white felt dust from new white felt beaters.
Yes
It will def leave a mark one a white head. It left a mark on my white aquarian patch.
Yes, but it wipes off with a clorox wipe or similar, if you want. I haven't tried mine yet with those beater patches, but I assume that would solve the problem.
No disrespect, but who’s gives a flying puck? It’s Drums man, they get marks, dings, unless the drums are for show room or photo shoot?
this pedal is built like a tank but drives like a Bently
Is this better than a dw 9000???
It depends. The Yamaha is, as most Yamaha pedals through the years, light and nimble, while the 9000s are sure footed, (dare I say) beginner friendly and powerful
Frank Jaegervand Larssen Thanks!
i'm thinking to sell my 9002 because i want a lighter footboard and feel. i find the 9002 little bit heavy, so FP9 seems ideal replacement. BUT! after seeing too much negative complaints about this product i think i'll pass. I know that 9002 is a tank, very smooth and powerful. i'm still thinking about DFP or speedcobras though... Although that the 9002 is the clear winner.
DW are trash.
I like the fp9 better than 9000. But of course we are all different. I like the longer footboards the smooth heal plate and spring adjustment and drive shaft are way better.
I'll buy one when they offer direct drive, chain & strap available in ONE pedal. Those pieces look very interchangeable. Yamaha is trying to maximize profits once again.
Impossible.
No option to turn slave pedal into single pedal like before?! For that price its a big minus :-(
The FP9 double pedal is Yamaha's answer to the DW 9000 double pedal. It sells for the same price and it doesn't have the ability to turn the secondary into a single either, and it's also not as good as the FP9.
@@TwoCablesOCN Yamaha has done "this useful mistake" with DFP series and they discarded for sure ;)
This pedal makes a lot of noise I’m returning it after a month!
@Jason Born I bought the Tama Dyna Sync pedal
@Jason Born I love it the FP9’s aren’t bad just squeak a little bit to me it’s all preference?
$800 after tax? Hm
Ouch. It was just under $700 after tax for me.
650 for the double.
@@larrytate1657 $650 before tax. $700 after tax for me, but others have to pay much higher taxes than I do.
Not quite good for double bass drum sets, sadly.
How so?
@@section8usmc53 Because they cannot function as individual pedals, like the previous Yamaha Flyingdragon did.
I wouldn't buy anything from Yamaha except a dirt bike they have lousy hardware mounting brackets and tom mounts and now after all these yrs manufacturing instruments they decide to try to compete with trick axis and koypito the killer pedals available today, no matter what jive this guys getting paid to say I'd like to see someone using them above 240bpm and or doing doubles or swivel foot -what he demonstrated here any average drummer could do with the most basic pedal
stfu virgin
I’ve owned Trick and Axis, I now own the strap(and chain) drive version of the FP9 for a bloody good reason. This wipes the floor with anything else in my opinion.
@@billmint8122 I have the direct drive And I love it I just hope Yamaha makes the chain and strap conversion kit? I’d like to try out the straps I heard it has a great feel!!
ruclips.net/video/v3UwacjXung/видео.html&ab_channel=ElEsteparioSiberiano ..... Dont blame your gear for your shitty playing.....
Lol. just another Cobra knock off with changeable cam size mechanism
