Double Pedal Choice

Hey everyone.

I'm going to be asking for a double bass pedal for Christmas.

The absolute most it could cost is about $250, but I'm thinking in the $100-$150 range.

I've been looking at a Pearl P122TW.
Is that a good choice?

Things to consider:
I want it to LAST
I play metalcore
I do heel-toe

I want it to cost the least amount possible, but if $50 is going to make a world of difference, I would be okay with it being more.

So basically for my price range and use I want the highest quality and longest lasting and best playing. (Not needy, eh?)

What should I go for?

Check out the Gibraltar pedals too. They're more inexpensive and just as good as other pedals.

The P122TW is a great set of pedals for the money. Good choice.

I was running PDP's double pedal when I had my acoustic set...It was pretty smooth and definitely in your price range. If you can do better though I would, but it did take a beating and hold it's own.

So it sounds like the Pearl's are okay and I don't need to spend more?

A while back I broke down and spent 275$ reluctantly on an intruder(lastest version) direct drive, wasn`t too impressed with it at first, but after playing and adjusting, and playing some more, it`s finally broke in, absolutely awesome, even my buddy whole plays with the dw9002(professional gigger and session player), said there`s not much difference between the 2, maybe a slight bit more lag on the slave, to say the least, he was impressed!!
Thanx Styles for suggesting it. Very Happy
