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.

Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive Pedal construction detail

Detail 01

Double pedal

Two beaters on one bass drum via a linkage shaft. You do not need a second kick drum.

Detail 02

Demon Drive linkage

The slave side is built to track close to the primary, so left and right feel less mismatched.

Detail 03

Eliminator adjustment system

Cam, spring and beater settings change how fast the pedal rebounds and how hard it hits.

Detail 04

Around $524

Pro-tier pricing. You are paying for adjustability and build, not just a second beater.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do I need two bass drums for this?

No. A double pedal drives two beaters into one bass drum using a connecting shaft, which is why most drummers use one instead of adding a second kick.

02Will it fit my bass drum?

It clamps to the bass drum hoop. Standard wood hoops fit fine; very thick or unusually shaped hoops can be tight, so measure before ordering.

03Can I use just the right pedal alone?

Yes. Detach the slave side and the primary pedal works as a single pedal.

04Is this too much pedal for a beginner?

The adjustment range is deep and takes time to dial in. If you are still developing kick control, a simpler pedal is easier to learn on.
