I will try Czarcie eventually, but I’ve heard manufacturing/shipping to US takes several months…

@@UpsetToddler_ Yes, it takes me 2 months to get the pedals, but your pedal is built for you, there is no stock just waiting to be bought and the owner really cares for you, it's really one of the best experience i had with customer service.

@@FIReOOB that’s awesome. I def plan on getting some at some point, but im just gonna wait a bit.

same profile as you, got demon before, now czarcie and for me i prefer to paid for a czarcie than a demon for this price need to test this new demon but between the old demon and the czarcie there was a huge difference ^^

I feel the opposite (and that ok tis not a fight!), I think the XR looks better (Again subjective to everyone) I like the simplicity it has what you need and I wont spend years tweaking when I should be just playing. I see another comment about how the XR doesn't play well and I'm like "Dude get over yourself", like the XR looks smooth as glass to play and fast as anyone's foot could ever move. I think people get so hung up on their product and feel the need to bash on others. I cant imagine anyone buying these XR's and not being able to play anything and enjoy them, what more can anyone ask for? A life time warranty? Ohh yer it has one! So other than looks which are subjective and no one is right or wrong on your opinion this is a great well made pedal set that will last a life time of drumming. I just don't get the negative smack down people seem to be giving them across the internet with seemingly nonsensical arguments. I also enjoy the raw presentation of the content creator, and thanks for the video.

I’ve never owned the Bigfoot pedals, but I have played them. Super solid pedals, and the Trick pedals can be converted to two single pedals, these can’t.

Thank you,I ended up Finiding the Trick Bigfoot in stock at a drum shop ine New Hampshire Portsmouthdrums shopAnd their actually about 130$ less than the Pearls ,I already have a pedal case ready lol Thank youfor your response Enojy those pearls @@UpsetToddler_

Thanks

The ACD and CK pedals are both at least $500 more expensive and can be more depending on customizations, from what I’ve found online. No to mention, both of those pedals are months away from playing after you order them. Yes, they are entirely customized to the buyer, but for my money, these pedals are a serious competitor to those brands. I also don’t see the need to have THAT many options for setting/tuning. Maybe it’s worth it to you, but not me.

That’s odd. I would say start with the ninja bearing oil that shipped with the pedals. The bearings should already be well lubricated, but it sounds like your slave pedal is dry.

I never owned the original demon drive, but I am really enjoying the XR. I’ve played Axis forever so the flat pedal is very easy for me to play. That’s one of the main reason I never bought the original demon drive, is I don’t like the footboard. If you don’t mind the original demon drive footboard, I would go with those. You can find some used ones for a good price. The price on the XR was thought to swallow. They just happened to release at the perfect time for me, otherwise I would have waited a bit for a sale or for some used ones.

@@UpsetToddler_ I haven't owned either. I have the speed cobras, but they are too long for me. I like the boards of the XR as well. I like the adjustability of the DD. It's a dilemma. Thanks for the info.

@@gcbr600 also another thing to note is that the XR is sold out most places. So if you find some, get them. Sit in them for a bit unopened then if you decide to keep, open them. Otherwise, return them.

Appreciate the feedback. Got some more tuff on the way soon.

Unfortunately you cannot. That was one of the biggest cons for me. Most pedals at this price point do have that option, but these don’t.

​@@UpsetToddler_I contacted Pearl and they said it can be converted to two singles. Just a heads up.

That’s true, but I’m not too big in having way too many configurations. I just max out my settings and it’s usually perfect for me.

Agree 100%, but it’s a lot easier to hit speed like 280bpm with better gear, vs some PDP double pedals.

Around $1200 USD.
