Ultimate Smoothness!
Play a Demon Drive and the first thing you’ll notice is its unparalleled smoothness. The Demon Drive gets its’ incredible smoothness and speed through the use of ultra-precise components. Self-aligning spherical bearings are used to insure the footboard and Direct Link Drive are always in perfect alignment, zero-latency Z-Link U-Joints on the double pedal driveshaft and special super high speed Ninja bearings on the axles all work in perfect sync to create the smoothest and fastest pedal on the planet.
Direct Link Adjustment - The rear position provides greater power. Loosen the key bolt and move to the front position for more finesse.
Ninja Bearings - Designed for skateboarding these bearings feature micro-polished steel balls for amazing low friction.
Z-Link Drive Shaft - Adjustable machined Aluminum for perfect positioning and flex-free energy transference for precise feel.
Tailor-made for your feet!
The most unique feature of the Demon Drive pedal is Pearl’s exclusive Duo-Deck, the world’s first convertible footboard. Through a simple adjustment, the Demon Drive pedal can be adjusted from a traditional shortboard to a longboard pedal in seconds, offering a slightly lighter, quicker feel that is the preferred setup when speed is a necessity.
Additional features of this amazing pedal include the world’s first two-position Beater Stroke Adjustment and two-position Direct Link Adjustment. Both adjustable features allow the player to create a slightly lighter or heavier feel of the pedal depending on their preferred setting. Adjusting the Duo-Deck in combination with the Beater Holder and Direct Link Adjustments yields 8 possible Pedal Configurations, allowing the player to truly create their ideal pedal configuration.
Duo-Deck Longboard - Converts quickly from shortboard to long board via 4 screws under footplate. For your choice of feel.
Beater Stroke Adjustment - A choice of 2 positions for a light or heavy feel. Simply loosen the clamshell to change position.
Direct Link Adjustment - The rear position provides greater power. Loosen the key bolt and move to the front position for more finesse.

What the Pro's are saying:
Virgil Donati - CAB/Planet X
"I personally like the smooth fluid feel of the Demon Drive. I can get a much more articulated action for my playing. I require as much precision and speed and articulation as possible and its giving me all of those."
Nate Morton - Independent
"Precise and beautiful. It is as inspiring to look at as it is to play. Everything about this pedal is right."
Mike Wengren - Disturbed
"I am impressed with the overall feel and smoothness of the pedal. There is virtually no resistance or feeling of friction from the direct link or the footboard hinge. The overall construction feels very strong and sturdy. The click lock adjustment does a great job of keeping the spring tension settings secure."
Todd Sucherman - Styx
"The Demon Drive is really an extension of your body. You know how your drumsticks are an extension of your hands; this pedal is an extension of your feet. The pedal board shadows your foot, it is ALWAYS there. It’s really an incredible, incredible feel."
Morgan Rose - Sevendust
"This is the best double pedal ever made!!! Hands down! In the past the slave side NEVER had the response to match the main. But now Pearl has made it happen. Not to mention enough adjustment options to make everyone happy. If your looking for a double pedal that has the quickness to help make those feet fly, while giving you the feel to lay a nasty groove, it's finally been made!!!"
Will Kennedy - Independent
"It is an incredible design and it feels faster than my foot ability; the best word I could use to describe it is "Accurate". It's so light and smooth - I love it!!"
Jimmy DeGrasso - Alice Cooper
"I’ve played a lot of pedals over the years and this has got to be by far the easiest and most responsive pedal I’ve ever played."
Mike Mangini - Steve Vai, Extreme
After first playing the Demon Drive..."Holy ****! I'm not even warmed up yet, my feet don't usually do that already. Holy Moley, there's no latency. I'm extremely impressed because Pearl did something I never thought could be done: Make a direct drive pedal like this have control on a rudimental level. My search for the perfect pedal is over!"
