Need some advice

[mwm]

I asked this earlier but I didn't get any response -- it was embedded in another thread, so perhaps it got lost.

I need some double pedal advice.

I haven't played double in years, but I'd like to try it again. But, I really can't justify spending a ton of money. On the other hand -- pennywise/pound foolish and all that.

Is there a good -- relatively inexpensive -- double pedal set-up out there? I would really want it under $200.

Here are some choices from. I got these off of Musician's Friend -- but I imagine any place would be similar.

They range in price from $99 to $186

-Pacific Drums by DW DP402 Double Bass Drum Pedal
-Pulse Pro Double Kick Pedal
-Pearl P122TW Double Pedal
-DW 4002P Double Bass Drum Pedal
-Mapex P580 Double Bass Pedal
-Pacific Drums by DW DP602C Double Pedal
-Ludwig Modular Double Pedal
-Tama HP200TW Iron Cobra Jr. Twin Pedal with Footplate

Thanks in advance for any help! I want to give myself a Christmas present. [img]redface.gif[/img]

Get the 99 dollar Pacific.

Pay $40 more for a pair of Eliminators.

i bet flam triplet knows a hundred times more about drums than me, but I have the pacifics and they arent that great. I mean they are OK. They serve me very well... but it kinda bothers me that they dont have beater angle/footboard angle adjustment... so ... other than that its OK. Im not too crazy about it. It is a double pedal for 99 bucks tho!!

I just tried the newest version of the DW7000 double pedal, some nice improvements and very smooth.

Pete's right, save up and get the Eliminators.

What kind of single pedal do you have? Is it good? If so, then getting a cheap double pedal will just turn you off completely. If you want to play double bass well, you need to get good equipment.
