doppio pedale MDD direct drive
Frutto della nuova divisione della Drum Workshop chiamata DW Manufacturing (da qui la sigla DW MFG), il doppio pedale MDD direct drive che ho ricevuto mi ha davvero sorpreso.
Inviatoci dalla GEWA per un test, questo pedale ha surclassato ogni altro pedale superando, sotto ogni aspetto, le prove fatte.
Se non conoscete o non avete sentito parlare di un pedale ad azionamento diretto prima, il suo principio consiste nel trasmettere il movimento del battente non attraverso la classica catena o cinghia, ma attraverso una camma in metallo pieno. Dato che questo legame tra pedana e battente è solido – invece di essere effettuato attraverso qualcosa di flessibile come la catena – la trasmissione è più immediata, fluida, veloce e senza latenza.
