Hope this help explain some of the new features of these pedals, as they are SO easy to use and adjust, while still attached to the bass drum hoop! I was able to snage the machined direct drive for less than I paid for the 9000! Just waited until the opportunity came up, and jumped on it! They are ridiculously awesome, AND overpriced! haha! But, you can 100% find them for half of retail, and in great condition if you know where to look! Phenomenal feel, super customizable, and all kinetic energy from your foot transfers directly into the beater, with no chain play, slack, or whip back. Love this pedal!!! Happy drumming, everyone!
