Went shopping

[CaTaPulT]

Hi all.
Well, I was starting to miss my WTF-2 kit since I've been playing only with my new DTXtreme III Standard kit, but to use the WTF-2 kit, I'd have to relocate my DW-7000 double pedal and the heavy Tama drum throne, a bit of a hassle. So I started shopping online, I wanted a cheap drum throne and a inexpensive double pedal, I wasn't too fussy about the throne but wanted a decent double pedal, after reading many owner reviews, I decided on the Pearl Power Shifter (P122TW) pedal. I took a chance and called a few local music stores and low and behold, one store had this pedal for pretty much the same price as online.
So I went shopping.
Here are the pictures and their descriptions.

1) Just got home with the new goodies.

2) The new Pearl pedals in place at my DTXtreme III kit

3) The new Gibraltar throne next to my Tama throne, the Gibraltar will be used as a seat at my workbench when I merge the two kits together later in the summer.

4) The Gibraltar throne behind Project WTF-2 (notice the 2 felt washers and cymbal wing nut on the 2nd floor tom, explanation in last picture)

5) Here's my DW-7000 double pedal back home where it belongs.

6) This is why the 2 felt washers and cymbal wing nut was on the floor tom, I had a spare cymbal stand from my Xpress III kit and decided to put it on the DTXtreme III Standard kit, so I can move my PCY-150s (3 zones) from one kit to another, I wanted to hear the default cymbal sounds from the Crash 2 port. Also notice the two new cymbals are black, the 150s is almost charcoal grey in comparison.

So far, I like the new double pedal, this is a decent pedal for it's price ($155.00), as time goes by and I play it more, I will write how I like or not like this pedal, so far, I like it.
Take care

Hey Jack,

I can't wait to hear more about the pearl... I had considered it at one point. Initially, I had the DW5002A and just could not find any middle ground. Thing drove me batty... Does that surprise anyone.... everything drives me batty. Usually after I've had way too much coffee, around the same time as people I work with or friends... say "DUDE!! How much coffee have you had... you're talking a mile a minute... STOP DRINKING COFFEE, you're already hyper" At any rate, very much looking forward to your ongoing reviews....and yes, I have had too much coffee.... Thanks much, Jack :) - I'm not Jack, you're Jack, I'm me.

(I'm not otz either... just a word I came up with I thought may be good for saying goodbye or thanks or ending a post, whatever. it's a made up word... It works!) Well actually if you want to get technical... it was my (sp?)oppa/opa's name, Otto actually, but everyone always called hims Ots or Otz.... but I wasn't thinking that when I said it.

Congratulations on the extra purchases they look great. I am another DW5002a fellow, I am not a fan of DW but they make the best pedals I have ever used. Very smooth and responsive. If you ever feel the need to replace the Pearl the 5000 series pedal is a great pedal. Nice nice stuff you got there, I cant wait to see Yamaha WTF3. ;D

Hi Tom.
So far I like this Pearl pedal considering it's low price.
Yes, the DW pedals are nice and smooth, the other pedal I would like to try but the prices are out of my range are the Axis pedals, especialy the longboards. I have size 12 feet so small pedals give me grief. LOL :)
