PDP by DW Concept Series Double Pedal Direct Drive PDDPCOD

Product Description

The PDDPCOD is a double bass drum pedal from PDP by DW, built around a direct-drive linkage in extruded aluminum for a tight, immediate connection between foot and beater. Designed in California by DW, it brings direct-drive feel to players who don't want to pay flagship DW prices to get it.

With direct drive, the footboard is linked straight to the cam — no chain, no belt, nothing to stretch or flex over time. That gives a firm, predictable feel where every movement of your foot shows up instantly at the beater, without the slight lag chain-drive pedals can have. If you play a lot of double pedal work, fast fills or blast beats included, that directness is what keeps you ahead of the tempo instead of chasing it.

Built to stay solid under pressure

The frame is a single-post design with an adjustable spring rocker, paired with a solid base plate that keeps the whole unit planted during heavy playing. The footboard is a cast XF Extended Footboard with a needle-bearing hinge, which keeps the stroke smooth and even rather than stiff or inconsistent. The slave pedal connects to the main pedal through a telescoping linkage with universal joints, so the angle can be adjusted for a comfortable stance no matter how your kit is set up. An offset toe clamp locks the pedal onto the bass drum hoop securely without getting in the way of your foot.

DW Control Beater and who it's for

The pedal ships with DW's Control Beater, designed for clear attack and solid dynamic control, from quiet groove work up to fast double strokes. The PDDPCOD is a good choice if you want to try direct-drive feel for the first time, or if you already know you like it but don't want to pay premium-tier prices for it. It works just as well as an upgrade on a beginner kit as it does as a dependable everyday pedal in the rehearsal room.
