RE: [DTXpress] Re: what pedal do you use?

2011-01-27 by Jono W

I use my trusty Pearl Powershifter that i've had for about 12 years (eek)... I got the double version addon bit for it too. Just use it with the plastic-faced side of the beater, with an Evans plastic protector thingy on the Kick pad itself. I made the mistake of leaving it with the felt side facing the pad once, so I have a dent/hole in the rubber of the pad :(

I think it's ALL down to personal preference, anyway. I tried a friend's DW5000 pedal, which cost him about £425 or something... and hated it.

In conclusion - I use my only pedal, the one I've always used on my acoustic kit, because it's what i'm used to.

Absolutely. There are around 2500 members on this group. I think on the technical stuff I usually get in there first and as I have been experimenting with the DTXpress for a number of years (and on this group for a long time) and so I have seen a lot of the questions before and know where to find the answers.

For things like drum pedals - I cannot really recommend one. I bought one with the kit years ago - it works fine - but I cannot say if its good or bad as I have nothing to compare with.
