Drum hardware · Japan

Drum hardware · United States

Pearl Eliminator Redline
Drum hardware · Japan
The Eliminator ships with a set of interchangeable coloured cams, each a different curve, so a drummer can change the pedal's acceleration profile in a minute rather than choosing it at purchase.

Model
Tama Iron Cobra
Drum hardware · Japan
The Iron Cobra offered two cams — Power Glide, weighted for acceleration, and Rolling Glide, round for even feel — and made choosing between them a normal part of buying a pedal. It has been the DW 5000's main rival since the 1990s.
