Description

Brought to you by Yamaha, the DFP-9C Double-Chain Drive Double Bass Drum Pedal is designed to elevate your drumming. This innovative pedal provides drummers with enhanced speed, control, and durability for intricate double bass drum work. The DFP-9C is constructed of aircraft-grade aluminum and steel components for rugged reliability. Its dual chain-drive mechanism delivers a perfectly balanced feel and ultrasmooth action.

Precision Tuning for Optimal Playability

The DFP-9C features Yamaha's Spring Tension Adjustment system, allowing drummers to fine-tune the pedal feel to their exact preferences. An adjustable footboard angle, beater angle, and footboard height provide ergonomic comfort for drummers of all playing styles. Anti-slip spikes on the base plate prevent the pedal from shifting during an intense performance.

Dual Chain-Drive for Lightning-Fast Response

At the heart of the DFP-9C are two industrial-strength chains connecting the footboard to the beater assemblies. This design eliminates the lag and variability found in traditional belt or strap-drive pedals. The dual chains provide immediate and consistent power transfer for rapid double bass rolls and complex rhythms.

Rugged Components Built to Last

From the aircraft-grade aluminum base plate to the steel sprockets and axles, the DFP-9C is constructed using premium, durable materials. Sealed bearings at all pivot points keep the pedal moving smoothly for years of dependable performance. The heavy-duty beaters are fitted with reversible felt/plastic sides to suit a variety of musical genres and drumhead types.

Additional Highlights

The DFP-9C also includes a convenient carrying case, drum key, and one-year warranty from Yamaha. Weighing in at just over 21 pounds, this professional-grade double bass drum pedal delivers a portable powerhouse performance for drummers on the move.

    Very solid build. I've tried all the popular pedals and prefer these. Drive shaft connections are great, no play and about twice the size of the ones on my other pedals. Pedal boards are long and give a controlled yet fast smooth feel. Def give them a try.

    I have had these pedals 3 months and the bearings have already fell out of the swivel joint on my double pedal linkage, and I can't find a replacement, not good for what they charge for these

  • Excellent set of pedals.
