Pearl knows that your gear takes a lot of abuse - onstage, in the studio, or during jams. That's why they've built a range of hardware to meet every need - and to take that punishment, day after day, night after night. When it's stability you're calling for, you - and your gear - can depend on Pearl hardware.





Smooth feel





Play a Demon Drive and the first thing you'll notice is its unparalleled smoothness The Demon Drive gets its incredible smoothness and speed through the use of ultra-precise components. Self-aligning spherical bearings are used to ensure the footboard and Direct Link Drive are always in perfect alignment; zero-latency Z-Link U-Joints on the double pedal driveshaft and special super high speed Ninja bearings on the axles all work in perfect sync to create the smoothest and fastest pedal on the planet. Designed for skateboarding, these bearings feature micro-polished steel balls for amazing low friction.





Choose finesse or power





The most unique feature of the Demon Drive pedal is Pearl's exclusive Duo-Deck, the world's first convertible footboard. Through a simple adjustment, the Demon Drive pedal can be changed from a traditional shortboard to a longboard pedal in seconds, offering a slightly lighter, quicker feel that is the preferred setup when speed is a necessity. The rear position provides greater power. Loosen the key bolt and move to the front position for more finesse.





Additional features of this pedal include the world's first two-position Beater Stroke Adjustment and two-position Direct Link Adjustment. Both adjustable features allow the player to create a slightly lighter or heavier feel of the pedal depending on their preferred setting. Adjusting the Duo-Deck in combination with the Beater Holder and Direct Link Adjustments yields eight possible pedal configurations, allowing the player to truly create an ideal setup.
