Pearl P122TW Bass Drum Pedal Review

Pearl P122TW Versatile Power

We don’t know how many drummers play golf, though we know Alice Cooper can’t get enough of the links, and his drummer plays Pearls. So there’s an iron clad connection. Out on the course, you use different clubs for different distances, depending on how much power you want to transfer to the ball. In the art of drumming, different tunes or styles require differing power levels. The Friday night metal show requires more power than the Saturday evening wedding gig with the jazz quartet. Your calf and foot have to know their work, and vary the pressure accordingly. Now, Pearl has come to your aid with the Pearl 122TW bass drum pedal, which integrates the PowerShifter technology into the footboard. Shift it backwards or forwards to alter the feel and create more leverage. Now the control is all there to play easy, up beat, or full on hard. Making you sound even better, the beater is a DuoBeat plastic/felt about-facer that gives you the opportunity for multiple sounds with the same stroke.

Jazz drummers, and those wanting a classic bass sound will truly appreciate the Pearl 122TW, which is made into a double by adding the P121TW slave kit. Good durability and longevity is achieved by keeping things tight and in good repair. Keep a set of replacement springs on hand, as they seem to wear out most quickly. Customize your power for tonight’s gig, and keep on thumpin’.
