Sound Pure's Take
For years, Yamaha has been creating and designing some of the finest products across multiple platforms. Whether they are designing motorcycles of drums, they design with purpose and function in mind.
The FP9500 series pedals pulled the best parts from the infamous Flying Dragon line of pedals. These pedals share the same cast and machined footboards, with smooth steel machined footboards and a recessed Yamaha logo. The independent adjustments for primary beater angle and footboard angle allow you to fine-tune your ideal setup with ease.
One of the beauties of direct drive pedals is that the player has a feeling of being in complete control of the beater. Many of the cam driven pedals can feel sluggish or mushy in comparison to direct drive pedals.
This used but not abused Yamaha double bass drum pedal is here on consignment and ships with the original case, beaters, and accessories. Photos are of the item that you will be receiving.
From Yamaha
The DFP-9500D is a direct drive double pedal, with a solid cast link between the rocker shaft and the footboards. The direct drive "pushes" the footboards back on rebound, giving the pedal a quicker response. Many drummers that play heel-down prefer the feel of a direct drive. The DFP-9500D has adjustments for beater angle, footboard angle, and spring tension. The pedal frames have stabilizer bars cast into them below the rocker shafts to eliminate flex. This keeps the bearings in alignment and gives the pedal a smooth feel. The hole in the beater hubs are tear drop shaped so it securely holds the beater shafts and keeps the new two-sided beaters from spinning. The new beater is felt on one side, and hard plastic on the other. The side-adjustable hoop clamp holds firmly to different thickness hoops, and tightens with a wing bolt. The DFP-9500D ships in a hard sided soft case to keep the universal joints, beaters, and pedals together for transport.
