This is the ultimate bass drum pedal for all styles. It is the most versatile pedal on the market. With interchangeable cams,the Power Shifter function, belt or chain, footboard grips you can change, Quad Beaters, and an infinitely unjustable footboard height, its the best you'll ever find. Hard rockers to quiet jazz players will love this pedal. It's silky smooth, with hard acceleration for Metallica and subtle softness for Miles Davis. Albeit a bit pricey, it compares with other models in its class. It's simply the best of them all.

The eliminator is underestimated by most people, mainly Iron Cobra players. Because of this negative criticism from those players, many people got the IC instead because its supposedly smoother, but with the two pedals, IC rolling, next to each other, I couldn't feel a difference with the black cam. and with the white cam its even smoother. To match the IC power you only have to change the cam to red, which takes five minutes max and requires no tools, and you get an equal, more powerful pedal. Before I bought this, I wanted an Ic power because I thought it accelerated a lot, but wen I tried the eliminator, I found the red cam is so offset and has so much acceleration that when I played faster parts my notes slurred, but I lost finer control. You can fix that in 5 minutes by changing the cam to blue, which gives a medium between the black and red so it feels like an IC power. If you want more control and smoothness than speed, than the white cam, which I use, is good. It's an oversized version of a black cam which offers the smoothness of a belt drive, which this pedal can be converted to if you buy an optional belt. The only flaw with this pedal is that the adjustable footboard has 3 settings instead of being fully adjustable like the IC. But the settings that it has are fine because they still allow you to change the feel. That and the beater are the only things that are worse than the IC. ICs aren't adjustable to meet all my needs and expectations. But then IC players brag but the IC comes with a hard plastic case, but the eliminator has a NICE case that most sites don't mention. The case is like a duffel style hard case. It also includes a nifty strap and pearl stitched into it. The case also has a bunch of zipper compartments to store extra accessories. The pedal also includes two drum keys and two sets of allen wrenches. bottom line is, if you want a pedal to feel custom made to your needs, then eliminator is the pedal for you.

If you're looking for a double pedal, this is the best u can find! Pearl has made yet another incredible product and has crushed the competition. The cams let ANY player use this pedal to their full potential, but personalizes for each drummer. You can adjust it to heavy and tough for hard rock, to soft and sensitive for jazz. It also has the extreme durability Pearl products are known for having. I commend you if you can break it in anyway. Not even DW's or Tama's compare!! Catch ya later, and happy drumming!

This pedal has improved my playing by miles. When I started playing double pedal I was borrowing one of my friends pedals. These were cheap pedals made by Stagg and they were horrible! Pieces kept falling off and the left pedal seized up during one the faster bass patterns I played during a gig. It was at this point I decided that I wanted to continue playing double pedal but needed something good! I went to my local drum shop and tried both the Eliminator and the Iron Cobra from Tama. Both pedals were great but I found that the Pearl pedals were much more customizable. You can change EVERYTHING!!! Footboard height, Powershifter, 4 different cams, beater angle and so much more. After playing around it feels like a custom pedal. I am now using the oversized linear cams (white) and it plays so smooth and fluid. Buy one now! SUPERB!

I just recently purchased a Pearl Powershifter Eliminator Chain Drive double pedal. It was money well spent. Both pedals glide very smoothly, and the 4 cams are a big bonus. My favorite is the white cam because it's an offset circle, and has a unique feel to it. I will never buy anything but Pearl. They are the best in the drumming world!

I've had this pedal for several months now and it is awesome. It's smooth and can easily adjust to each individual needs of a drummer. It is so durable, and has withstood my hard playing. And it's price is way better than any other double bass pedals that are as professional as this. I would highly recommend this pedal to anyone who is taking drumming seriously.

After having pearl p100-tw's I thought I would try out the new eliminator. This double bass pedal has changed my drumming so much. My double bass pedal work has increased so much. The pearl eliminator is so smooth. My band actually got signed when I was using these pedals (high coincidence) these pedals rule!

This is an excellent product with different settings with cams and having the ability to split into two single pedals. No wonder some of the best drummers in the world like joey jordison of slipknot and chad smith of the red hot chili peppers use them. There is no chance for any disappointment.

The two most famous pedals for drummers choice is probably the Tama Iron Cobra or the Pearl Powershift Eliminator. Among my drum friends, they think that the Pearl powershift eliminator pedal is good, and that the iron cobras are better. I would say that they are both pretty much reliable, but as for myself, I would prefer the Pearl over the iron cobras and this is why. The Pearl Powershift is smooth, it offers 4 cams that you can change in less then two minutes, it's stable when playing one foot double groove, it's not too heavy when played like the iron cobras, and lastly it is because the Iron Cobras main structure aims for heavy style of music. The pearl pedal that comes with the 4 cams offers 4 unique feels. The black cam feels just like the Iron Cobras when I compared them. But if you change it to the white cam, it offers you fast and smooth playing for double bass. As for the blue and red cams, they offer another unique feel. This pedal has been with me for almost 2 years and when I play jazz, I would switch to the black cam, and when I play Fusion jazz or rock, I would change it to the white cam. This is how much the pedal has to offer!

These double bass pedals are perfect. The interchangeable Cam parts allow you to get a different feel for when you pedal. I use the red for the left foot and black for the right. This makes peddling a lot easier for me. Really cool. I highly recommend these
