Hey all,
Currently playing a pair of Tama HP 200 TW for the last few years but they are starting to indicate its time for an upgrade.
Looking at a pair of DW 5002 Delta 3 - Thomann are doing a fairly decent deal on them
http://www.thomann.de/ie/dw_5002td3_double_pedal.htm
Are there any users on here with these pedals?
Any heads up on pro's / con's to consider would be appreciated before I potentially purchase!
Cheers gents |

| Not sure on those boys but you can pick up a second hand set of Iron Cobras for around 150 sterling and they generally don't have a lot go wrong with them. |

Cheers man, I reckon im going to buy myself a new set of whichever pedals I eventually decide on.. My last pair were second hand so I reckon its time for a 'fresh out the box pair'  |

Yeah I have the accelerator version of this pedal, personally I would rate it over the Iron Cobras but it's all a matter of taste. It's very solid and smooth, but the accelerator drive took a while to get used to, just felt a bit odd at the start.
The best thing is to get into a drum shop and try out a few before buying, it's really the only way you'll know.
I haven't been drumming for a while now but whenever I get back into it I'll be buying a DW9000 double pedal, definitely the pedal with the nicest feel I have tried IMO. |

Cheers man, I have tried some out already but I plan on trying out a few more before purchase to be sure
As it stands though its a toss up between the DW 5002 Delta 3 or the Pearl Eliminators (either chain or belt drive) |
