Detail 01
Double pedal
A second beater strikes the same bass drum via a driveshaft, so both feet play one kick.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pearl's top-tier double bass drum pedal. For drummers whose playing depends on fast, repeatable double strokes and who will maintain the hardware.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Metal, hardcore and fusion players running constant doubles
- Gigging drummers who need the same feel every night
- Upgrading from an entry pedal that flexes under speed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners still building single-pedal control
- Players who rarely use the left foot on the kick
- Small kits and stages with no room for the extra pedal
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Driveshaft across the kit
The slave pedal sits where your hi-hat stand normally goes. Expect to reposition the hi-hat and throne.
Detail 03
$1,023.99
The money is in bearing tolerance, frame rigidity and adjustment range — things you feel at speed, not at slow tempos.
Detail 04
Two beaters, one head
Double the impact on the same spot. A bass drum patch is close to mandatory here.
Detail 05
Hoop clamp mounting
It grips the bass drum hoop. Unusually thick or thin hoops can need clamp adjustment before it seats securely.
Detail 06
Pro-tier hardware weight
Heavier and bulkier than a single pedal. Transport and case size become a real consideration.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No bass drum, head patch or case included
- 02Budget an hour to set spring tension, beater angle and footboard height
- 03Your hi-hat stand will need to move or go remote
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it fit my bass drum?
It clamps to a standard bass drum hoop. Check hoop thickness first — very thick wood hoops or thin metal ones may need the clamp adjusted to grip properly.
02Do I need a different hi-hat setup?
Usually yes. The slave pedal occupies the hi-hat's floor space, so most players shift the stand outward or move to a remote hi-hat.
03Is it worth it over a budget double pedal?
It matters if you play fast doubles regularly. The difference shows in consistency at speed and in how long the adjustment holds, not in tone.
04Can I use just the right pedal alone?
Yes. The primary pedal works on its own, and you can add the slave side when you need it. That does mean carrying more hardware than a single pedal.
