  • Roc-N-Soc Nitro

    Gas-lift drum throne

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Nitro uses a gas cylinder rather than a threaded spindle, so height is set by a lever and holds under weight. It is the throne most often specified on professional riders.

  • Axis Longboard A

    Machined aluminium, direct drive, long footboard

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Longboard A is the pedal fast double-bass playing is measured against: a solid machined linkage, sealed bearings, and a footboard long enough to play heel-toe across its whole length.

  • Trick Pro1-V

    Tool-free adjustment on a machined frame

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Pro1-V's adjustments — spring tension, beater angle, footboard angle — are all independent and made without tools, and the bearings are low enough friction that the pedal returns without help.

  • Gibraltar Road Series Rack

    Modular tube-and-clamp drum rack

    Drum hardware

    A rack replaces a floor full of stands with a tube frame, so a large kit can be marked, struck, and reassembled identically. Gibraltar's clamp catalogue is deep enough that almost any configuration can be built.

  • Czarcie Kopyto Direct Drive Pedal

    Polish pedals built to order

    Drum hardware · Poland

    Czarcie Kopyto builds direct-drive pedals in small numbers in Poland, configured to the buyer's specification and sold largely direct, with a following among extreme metal drummers.

  • Mapex Falcon

    Interchangeable drive and beater weighting

    Drum hardware

    The Falcon lets a drummer swap between chain, strap, and direct drive on the same frame and adjust the beater's weight distribution, making it one of the most reconfigurable production pedals.

  • Pearl ICON Rack

    Curved-bar rack system

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The ICON rack uses curved bars that follow the arc a drummer's arms actually travel, which puts mounted cymbals and toms closer than a straight-bar rack of the same footprint.

  • Roc-N-Soc Manual Spindle

    The threaded-post version

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Manual Spindle throne offers the same contoured seat tops — round, saddle, or cycle — on a threaded post, for players who would rather not depend on a gas cylinder.

  • DW 3000

    The affordable DW pedal

    Drum hardware

    The 3000 keeps the 5000's single-chain geometry with simpler adjustment and lighter castings, and is the pedal most often bought as a first serious upgrade.

  • DW 9500 Hi-Hat Stand

    Three-leg stand with a swivelling base

    Drum hardware · United States

    The 9500 adds a rotating leg section so the stand can be positioned around a double pedal, and DW's TriPivot toe clamp, which lets the footboard angle be set independently of the legs.

  • Tama Speed Cobra

    Longer footboard, lighter action

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The Speed Cobra lengthens the footboard and shortens the beater throw, trading power for speed, and became standard equipment in fast double-pedal playing.

  • DW 9000

    Fully adjustable double-chain pedal

    Drum hardware · United States

    The 9000 adds an infinitely adjustable cam, a floating rotor, and independent spring and beater angle adjustment to the 5000's geometry, at the cost of weight and complexity.

  • Pearl Demon Drive

    Ninety-degree direct drive

    Drum hardware · Japan

    Demon Drive uses a direct linkage with an unusually long footboard and a Ninja bearing set, and its slave pedal drives through a duo-deck shaft designed to feel the same as the primary.

  • DW MDD

    Machined Direct Drive

    Drum hardware · United States

    The MDD is DW's answer to the direct-drive market: a machined aluminium linkage with no chain, and a cam that can be swapped between three profiles rather than adjusted along a curve.

  • Evans RealFeel Practice Pad

    The standard rehearsal-room pad

    Drum hardware · United States

    The RealFeel is the practice pad most drummers own: a wood core with recycled gum rubber on one side and a harder surface on the other, in sizes that fit a snare stand.

  • DW 9000 Cymbal Stand

    Heavy boom stand with fine tilt adjustment

    Drum hardware · United States

    The 9000 boom stands use a toothless tilter with infinite adjustment rather than fixed teeth, which matters when a cymbal has to sit at an angle the teeth do not offer.

  • DW 5000

    The Camco pedal, continued

    Drum hardware · United States

    Drum Workshop bought Camco's tooling and turned its pedal into the DW 5000, whose single-chain accelerator cam has been the default professional bass drum pedal for four decades. The AD4 is the version most drummers mean when they say "a five thousand".

  • Tama Iron Cobra Lever Glide Hi-Hat

    Lever-actuated hi-hat stand

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The Lever Glide replaces the usual direct pull with a lever linkage, reducing the effort needed to close the hats and letting the pedal sit lower.

  • Pearl Eliminator Redline

    Cam swapping by colour

    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.

  • Yamaha HS1200 Hi-Hat Stand

    The long-serving Yamaha stand

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The HS1200 has been in the catalogue in one form or another for decades, and its rotating legs and heavy base make it a common choice under an electronic kit as well as an acoustic one.

  • Vic Firth Heavy Hitter Practice Pad

    Two-sided pad with different rebound

    Drum hardware · United States

    The Heavy Hitter pads offer a soft gum rubber side and a harder side, so a player can practise against both a forgiving and an unforgiving rebound on the same pad.

  • Tama Iron Cobra

    The pedal that made cam choice a decision

    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.

  • Sonor Perfect Balance

    Jojo Mayer's single-chain pedal

    Drum hardware · Germany

    Designed with Jojo Mayer, the Perfect Balance is deliberately light and minimal — a long flat footboard, a single chain, and no adjustment the player does not need — and it folds nearly flat for travel.

  • Yamaha FP9

    Chain and direct drive from one platform

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The FP9 is offered in chain and direct-drive versions built on the same frame, with a hinge and bearing set designed so the two feel like variants rather than different pedals.

  • Tama Roadpro Stands

    Double-braced hardware for touring

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The Roadpro range is Tama's heavy hardware line — double-braced legs, quick-set tilters, and hinged memory locks that come off without dismantling the stand.

  • Sonor 600 Series Hardware

    Light single-braced stands

    Drum hardware · Germany

    The 600 series is Sonor's deliberately light hardware line: single-braced legs and small footprints, for drummers who carry their own gear and do not need a stand that could hold a gong.

  • Gibraltar 9608 Throne

    Heavy throne with a moulded seat

    Drum hardware

    Gibraltar's 9608 series pairs a moulded foam seat with a heavy double-braced base, and is the common alternative to a Roc-N-Soc at a lower price.

  • Canopus Hoops and Parts

    Components sold to rebuild other makers' drums

    Drum hardware · Japan

    Canopus sells hoops, snare wires, tension rods, and bearing-edge work as a catalogue in their own right, which is unusual: most of it is bought to change how a drum from another maker sounds.

  • Remo Practice Pad

    Mylar-headed pads with real drum response

    Drum hardware · United States

    Remo's practice pads use a tensioned Mylar head over a muffled shell rather than a rubber slab, which reproduces the rebound of a tuned drum more closely than rubber does.

  • Tama Dyna-Sync

    Tama's direct-drive pedal

    Drum hardware · Japan

    The Dyna-Sync is a direct-drive pedal whose linkage keeps the footboard and beater moving in a fixed relationship, so the feel does not change through the stroke.

  • Dixon PP9

    Taiwanese pedal with heavy hardware

    Drum hardware · Taiwan

    The PP9 series is Dixon's own-brand professional pedal, built in the factory that supplies hardware to a long list of better-known names.

  • Gibraltar Remote Hi-Hat

    Cable-driven hi-hat for large setups

    Drum hardware

    A remote hi-hat separates the pedal from the cymbals with a cable, so a second pair of hats can sit anywhere in a large kit — or so the main hats can be placed where a double pedal would otherwise be.

  • Dunnett R-Class Throw-Off

    A strainer sold to fix other makers' drums

    Drum hardware · Canada

    The R-Class is a snare strainer rather than a drum, sold as an upgrade for snares whose original throw-offs slip or rattle — one of the few percussion components with a following of its own.
