    Default What Pedal and differences between chain and Strap?

    Hi Drumchatters, I'm looking for a Pedal (I want to buy a Double Pedal cause I could use it now as a Single Pedal and when I'm more experienced as Double Version) and I can choose between DW 5002 TD3 and Pearl Eliminator 2002B both are 299.-€.
    Unfortunately I realized that DW discontinues their TD3 Models and it is available in only 2 Shops and probably it is sold out till I can buy it.

    The Eliminator 2002B has a Strap instead of a Chain, what is the difference?
    Is a Pedal with Strap lower quality as with Chain?
    A Strap doesn't look very strong...

    Does anyone own this Eliminator?

    Oh and I can't try it out before I buy it cause I don't have a drumshop in my area.

    I like Tama Pedals I played on it and liked how easy it ran but the good ones are waaay too expensive and I can't spend more money than 299.-€s :(

    I have a Pearl Eliminator(single pedal). My good friend Mr. late8 talked me into and sold me a strap for it. It feels much more smooth and responsive than the chain.

    I have the DW5002 and its is a very solid build and smooth pedal. For me it felt better than the Eliminator. Can't really explain it, just a feel thing.


    I think you should consider the Mapex Raptor and Falcon pedals though. If they were out when I bought the 5000's I would have chosen one of them instead.

    We don't have the Raptor but the Falcon.
    Thanks.

    If you can try the Falcon, do so!

    Great pedal and it comes with both chain and strap drives and two different cams, too!. And the Falcon adjustments are super easy...DW could learn a few things in that department.

    Best of luck.

    I'd actually wanted to buy a double pedal but the Stores did a higher price for it from 299.-€ to 350.-€ so I just bought a Single Pedal.
    It is a Pearl Eliminator 2002B Single.

    Really loving my eliminator 2002(also have p-120's). Double chain, one of the main differences between belt and chain is maintenance. Here and there with chain based pedals I like to use wd-40 and remove dust buildups to keep it running smoothly. Belt I never worried too much about, although you may want to check for any rips or tears on the material. I've yet to, but i've always wanted to try a direct drive pedal.

    I've played them the first time today and it is smooth but not that smooth a Tama would be.
