Nope they look sweet though.

I've heard they're a lot like the speed king.

[HeLLmO]

i'd imagine they are very smooth. i do know that the beater on them(the DW Hardcore beaters) are AMAZING

[ThatOneDrummer]

amazing yet rediculously expensive...i think i saw somwhere that that pedal lists for $700...

Crap.

You cant adjust spring tension or footboard angle.

Its nothing like a speedking because speedkings used compression springs where as that uses a flexible heel plate or some such bull.

yes you can. just in a special, very difficult way.

they are amazing.. the hardcore beaters are great too, but you'll have to buy a patch for your bass batter head, coz otherwise it'll make a huge put in the head..

yea, that's the only real problem with the beater. i've heard you can adjust how hard the beater, and that's just really cool

[ludvista29]

Its the stiffest. pedal. ever. I hated it. dont buy it.

[keaton_86]

According to the review in modern drummer, they are really good, but they just take alot of getting used to.

[HeLLmO]

yea, but modern drummer is probably on the payroll of every drum company so that they(MD) get more money for giving good reviews

I tried that hat stands..
They suck, Badly.
But the cams on those are sex.

I totally forgot what these were called, i was going to ask how they felt and what your opinions were, but if i didn't have a picture or a name it's useless.

And Phil, what if it had direct drive? Then would you like it?

[Zildjian]

They for sure look cool but for me it may not be versatile.

It IS Direct Drive.

And no, i dont like it.

I tried the hat stand, and it felt extremely cheap and stiff.

And BTW, this isnt a new Pedal, it came out last year.

[sabian404]

I know that, I just have never played it and I have never seen anything on it.

Now, I'm not saying this works all the time , but [I]generally if you don't hear the praises sung about something and see a whole bunch of cheap copies made by other brands, especially after a year, it's not the greatest new technological advancement.

But like I said. This isn't for like..every little thing that comes by. It's a large generalization.

Oh yeah, i forgot.

[othankheavenfor311]

is that footboard made out of wood? that could become a problem if u put to much pressure on it... break the sucker in half

I think the idea is copyrighted.

[Panopticon]

But theres nothing really different about the IC.
