DW5002TD3 Vs Yamaha DFP9410

[Drum Phil]

Alright ive got the option of buying either of these.

or

http://www.thomann.de/prodbilder/dw_5002td3_double_pedal_pimx_160854.jpg

The DW is the turbo cam system, not the offset accelerator.

Give me your opinions on both, price is not an issue as they're the same price

[weed_makes_me_faster]

why direct?

Oh I don't know.. Im confused on the single versions of them two.. This will help as well... Uhh...Yeah

[Drum Phil]

why direct?

Cause the 5002 would tear the chain version to shreds in terms of smoothness

[ludvista29]

The yamaha adjusts alot eaiser

[Drum Phil]

My main concern about the dragon is that im used to turbo chain systems and not direct drive

[ludvista29]

Phil, you know if you dont get the yamaha I will be forced to kill you!

[We_Love_Lime]

Phil, you know if you dont get the yamaha I will be forced to kill you!

Is quite hostile.

[raz0r]

Personally, I'd go for the DWs.
Nice choice on the Turbo, I've never liked the offset cam.

Although, your best bet would be to try them out, because direct drive isn't for everyone.

[ludvista29]

The yammie adjusts alot more and has a really coll tool that comes with it

[weed_makes_me_faster]

i have tryed yamaha direct and chain but the dw only the chain.

yamaha direct - 3
yamaha chain - 9
dw chain - 9

so i would choose the yamaha chain version, because it seems sturdyer than the dw to me. But i have no idea how the dw direct drive feels, so...

wait a minute. does the dw 5002 even have a direct drive?

f u c k i'm a complete knob!

[ludvista29]

I have the chain and its alot smoother

[Drum Phil]

No DW dont have a direct drive system. The yammie only comes in a bag, DW has a molded case.

Dunno what kinda cam the yammie has? But im deciding between the 2 i mentioned :)

Just get the Yammy Phil. The tool is cool enough.

[Drum Phil]

You're a tool :D

[ludvista29]

the tool has two sides and one adjusts the pedal's hight and the other side is like a drum key.

ok. now i get it. but i don't know what was the dw i tryed - a turbo or an offset, so your on your own :p

[ludvista29]

plus with the double chain version you can change it to a belt drive if you like that also

DUDE ARE YOU FRICKING SERIOUS!!!...

I'm contributing nothing except useless posts and bad thoughts towards myself. :smoke:

[Drum Phil]

The only thing that makes the chain yammie more appealing is the fact it glows in the dark :-/

[ludvista29]

lol

[ludvista29]

but you can change the drive to a belt!!!
phil im freaking desprate for you to get the yammie!!!

[We_Love_Lime]

Haha that's awesome.


Dude don't forget the tool!!!

[Drum Phil]

Belt my *** :-/ i dont like belt drive too much. I get paranoid it'll snap.

What kind of cam does it have? Turbo or accelerator?

[-TGP-]

Yamaha is amazing.

My HS-1100 highhat stand is the smoothest piece of equiptment i have ever played in terms of pedals/highhat stands.
The linkage is fantastic.

[ludvista29]

h/o
the yamaha site doesnt tell you what type of cam it is

[-TGP-]

stop posting like 1 word replies, it clutters the thread.


That is a tough choice also phil,but in the end i guess it comes down to which pedal is most comfortable.

[Drum Phil]

Yeah but i cant try them :( they're in germany :( Ive tried the DW before and its the sex. Thats why im swaying towards it, simply because i know i like it

[-TGP-]

Yeah good call.
I can honestly say that the Yamaha Chain Drive Pedal was the greatest pedal I have played, very smooth and I found it fast and I felt very capable on it.
I can only imagine how the direct drive would feel.

[ludvista29]

trust me the yamaha will be one of your best purcheses ever!

[We_Love_Lime]

Yeah but i cant try them :( they're in germany :( Ive tried the DW before and its the sex. Thats why im swaying towards it, simply because i know i like it

I guess that makes sence. You don't wanna be dissapointed. Go for the DW than. But your missing out on a glow in the dark pedal and a free tool.

[Drum Phil]

I'll check their return policy. If i can trade it for a DW if i dont like it i'll do it :)

I always wanted to try a direct drive system, plus i like felt beaters

[ludvista29]

thank you you wont be dissapointed and if you are may god have mercy on your soul!

I think he gets the point in every other damn post you've had.

[ludvista29]

sorry I got carried away

Hey Phil. Once you get it, Make sure to tell us how it is.I'm also disputing the two single versions.

[gimp fest]

i would go 5002, you like it, you know it's good for you and you can pick up felt beaters cheap on ebay.

are you shopping from thomann by any chance?

[Drum Phil]

Yep. I already have felt beaters but thats not the point

[Zildjian]

im leaning towards the 5002...direct drives are very sensitive and that could be a pain in the *** sometimes

[Drum Phil]

Interesting

[fritzz]

well they're both great pedals
but I have the dw for about 4 months, and it's great!! I would go for the dw
btw I also bought it in germany:)

[Panopticon]

Janus Tranni-hat:)

if not that...Yammie direct drive without a doubt...

[Drum Phil]

Screw the janus :p I reckon ima go flying dragon

[Locke]

I'd go for the DW personaly. You get what you pay for.

[Drum Phil]

Im paying the same price for both. So that statement is null

[Locke]

lol I suppose, Basicaly I mean to say that I beleive the DW to be highier quality. I found I had more control over them than the Yammys but I suppose at the end of the day it depends on personal preferance.

[Drum Phil]

You tried the direct drives?

Its odd that they're both £205 :-/

[Locke]

Yup, didn't like the feel of them. DW felt more solid.

[Drum Phil]

Fair do.

[thenewguy515]

My main concern about the dragon is that im used to turbo chain systems and not direct drive
i have the dragons, double chain, i love em, very easy to adjust and set up/teardown goes pretty quick(couples minutes, haven't timed it).

[thenewguy515]

The only thing that makes the chain yammie more appealing is the fact it glows in the dark :-/
those are stickers that can be taken off.

[thenewguy515]

Screw the janus :p I reckon ima go flying dragon
buy the ****ing dragons, now, i command you, the tool pwns, one end is a drum key the other end is an allen wrench for adjusting and configuring parts of the pedal, i tried the 5002 and the dragons at GC when i got mine. double chain yammies FTW!

/propaganda

[HeLLmO]

those are both great, but they both do have ups and downs, direct drive does feel at bit weird, and isn't for everyone, which is why ppl recommend to try Axis pedals before u buy them, because they are direct drive, that being said, light pedals like direct drives are good for playin' faster. i personally would go yammie, but again, either way u won't be disapointed

[LostRythym]

I would go for the DW. I heard yammie pedals arent so durable.

[drummer_mp3]

Phil I have tried both (I know, I happen to try so much **** out). Don't take in fact that I am a Yamaha whore.

The DW 5000's are super smooth and have molded case. Not only that but they do look damn sweet and are very adjustable.

The Yammies are also super smooth and adjustable. They glow in the dark and have a sweet tool as mentioned above. The bag sucks though but that's not the point. The pedal turns into pedals in a matter of minutes.

My say is go for what suites you. On the other hand I'm the Yamaha whore and I love these pedals.


BTW the chain version has very smooth offset cam action.

[thenewguy515]

i own them, i beat the hell out of mine and they are good as new. buy yamaha.

[drummer_mp3]

Thats because they were played with AHEAD shoes! :lol:

[the fat llama]

get the yammys, i got one of the basic single pedals and its still good. also its name is way better

[Quinto]

roar

[rockindrummer]

I would go for the 5002 though I havn't really played with the yamaha that much it seemed flimsier (sp?) than the 5002

[metallas]

Why many some of you say ''go for the dw" without having used a Yamaha pedal?
Who says that it is not durable.I haven't lubricated my pedal for two years and it is as smooth as the first day.Any problems at all, except some scratches due to transportation.
I have the double chain chain model and this feels like an extension of my feet.
I don't know about the direct drive though.
Go for the yamaha

[metallas]

By the way, I want to buy new footboards cause my entire set seems new and shinny except for my pedalboards that look like they are 10 years old.
A lot of marks.that can't be removed-I have tried anything.
Do you know where I can find only the footboards?

[Drum Phil]

Well i always wanted a direct drive pedal, so Fying dragon it is.

FYI, yamaha will stock footboards

[metallas]

what' s FYI?

[CasB]

For Your Information :)

[Zildjian]

Well i always wanted a direct drive pedal, so Fying dragon it is.

Good choice, those are both great pedals...Since you never tryed it out, can u return it if u dont like it??

[metallas]

Can anyone find out how much are they going to cost.
It's about 2 footboards (and the heel plates) for Yamaha DFP 9310 as well as a footboard and a heel plate for my Yamaha HS 1000.
The nearest Yamaha dealer is 30km away and the assistant who works there is a dumb, it will take an hour to explain to him what I need, and then he will say "why do you want to replace them? let them dirty"....
Thanks for any help

Just tell him you need clean footboards to play faster than 14bps!
