Why is it innovative?

The Demon Drive is a major departure from Pearl's Eliminator, and from the chain drive pedals that have ruled the roost since the 1980s. Why? Because it has a direct, rigid-link drive on a par with the well-established Axis pedal. But it’s the sheer versatility (there are eight basic settings) and use of NiNjA skateboard bearings that give the Demon its innovative edge.

MusicRadar’s verdict:

“As each new generation emerges, with increasingly accurate skills, gear must keep pace. The Demon pedal is Pearl's comprehensive response to that challenge - adaptable, precise and mightily impressive - just be absolutely sure that direct drive really is the salvation you're looking for before shelling out.” (Read the full Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive P-3002D review)

Your votes:

“Give it to Pearl for the Demon Drive pedal because every drummer I know keeps banging on about how great it is. And I know a lot of drummers.” (Thanks, rabbitrabbit)

"The Demon Drive deserves some credit." (Thanks, Mark)
