DW DWCPMDDGR MFG Series Direct Single Bass Drum Pedal - Gray

DW DWCPMDD Machined Direct-Drive Kick Pedal

Precision, power, and speed—built into one of the finest single pedals on the market.

If you’ve never tried a direct-drive pedal before, the DWCPMDD is a great place to start—and quite possibly, where you’ll stay. DW poured years of engineering expertise into this design, and the result is a pedal that feels effortless underfoot, but delivers uncompromising control.

Crafted from solid aluminum and driven by DW’s innovative Fulcrum Geometry linkage, the DWCPMDD offers a fluid, instantly responsive playing experience. Everything about it is built with the modern drummer in mind: a perforated footboard with a contoured heel plate, DW’s signature Delta hinge, a Tri-Pivot Toe Clamp that protects your hoop, Vertical Spring Adjustment for precise feel control, and a beater you can fine-tune to your preferred weight and attack.

What does a great kick pedal feel like?
It should disappear beneath you—becoming a seamless extension of your body and intention. That’s what the DWCPMDD delivers. Whether you’re gliding through jazz patterns or hammering through prog-metal breakdowns, this pedal keeps up without breaking a sweat. If feel and response matter to you, this one’s worth your attention.

Why Direct Drive?
By eliminating the cam and linking your foot directly to the beater, direct-drive pedals offer a lightning-fast response with zero lag. The DWCPMDD gives you this clarity and consistency across all dynamics, making it ideal for players who rely on precision footwork—especially in fast or complex musical settings.
