Product Description

Bass pedals rely on the shape of the cam - round or offset, large or small - to give each pedal its characteristic action and feel. Some brands offer more than one shape to cater to the diverse style differences and preferences of the drumming public. Unfortunately, if you want another cam you have to buy a pedal or install a cam providing you can buy one separately in the first place.

Pearl's PowerShifter Eliminator pedal comes standard with four cams, each with a unique shape and all interchange at the push of a button thus giving the Eliminator the action and feel of four different pedals for the price of one!

Interchangeable Cam System:
The interchangeable cam system features four uniquely shaped cams. The Black Cam is Pearl's original linear-feel cam for smooth, well-balanced action. The White Cam is also linear but larger in diameter for a lighter feel and increased power. The Blue Cam is offset and starts with a light feel at the beginning of the stroke and accelerates with speed and power upon impact. The Red Cam is radically offset and provides great response for sensitive footwork and extreme power upon impact. The Purple Cam is right in between the Blue and Red cams so it splits the difference. The Yellow Cam has a top-heavy feel and it can play moderate tempos with very even dynamics. For example, when playing shuffles, the second beat of the "duh-duh" is as strong as the first. All cams attach and detach easily at the push of a button.

Belt Drive and Dual Chain Drive
PowerShifter Eliminator pedals are available with either dual chain drive or belt drive. The belt is made from three plies of super-strength polymers for extreme dependability, smoothness and quiet action. Both chain and belt drives are adjustable to allow the angle of the footboard to be set to ones preference. Additionally, the chain (model #CCA-5) and belt (model #BCA-1) can be quickly interchanged using only a drumkey and Phillips head screwdriver.

Traction Control Footboard
The footboard features Pearl's Traction Control system that permits the user to alter the amount of slip-resistance on the footboard for optimum control and speed. The integrated Traction Plate features Traction Grip dots, rubberized disks, that can be removed completely or inserted one at a time and selectively positioned to provide just the right amount of slip-resistance where you want for your playing style. In addition, the Traction Plate can be rotated with the Traction Grip dots facing toward the front or the rear of the pedal for traction control near the ball of the foot or near the toes for additional customization of the feel.

PowerShifter
The PowerShifter allows the footboard to move forward or backward to change the leverage for light, normal, or heavy feel. Combined with the Interchangeable Cam System, the PowerShifter Eliminator is the most adjustable pedal in the world.

Ergonomically Designed Footboard and Heel
Featured on all PowerShifter Eliminator, PowerShifter and PowerPro pedals. Footboard surfaces are smooth for "power slides" but give ample resistance for control. Integrated hinge adds speed and increases reliability. The heel is tapered for comfort and control.

Toe Clamp Height Adjuster
The PowerShifter Eliminator features a Toe Clamp height adjuster that accommodates bass drum hoop of all thickness. The pedal is secured to the drum hoop with a side mounted clamping system that allows easy attachment and removal.

Stainless Steel Universal Joints
All Pearl Double Pedals feature precision Stainless Steel Universal Joints. Pearl made them 20% thicker than standard steel universal joints to make them the most dependable and precise on the market today!

Quadbeater
Standard on all PowerShifter Eliminator and PowerShifter pedals, the QuadBeater features 2 plastic and 2 felt faces to create four distinctly different sounds.

Roller Cam Hoop Clamp
Featured on all PowerShifter Eliminator and PowerShifter pedals. Side mounted for easy attachment and removal of the pedals.

Uni-Pressure Spring Clamp
Featured on all PowerShifter Eliminator and PowerShifter pedals. Allows infinite beater angles.

Floating Spring Pendulum
Featured on all PowerShifter Eliminator and PowerShifter pedals. The Floating Spring Pendulum attaches to the rocker cam "in-line" (not off to the side) for significantly improved "waggle" (the number of times the beater oscillates before stopping). The Floating Spring Pendulum features roller bearings for outstanding speed and smoothness. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Pearl products.
