yeah we are back with another Facebook
live session and today my guest is mr.
dennis  namesnick the mastermind behind
ACD unlimited dennis brought a lot
of extra gear that we're gonna test
today
the thing here is that I yeah took all
the improvements or all the ideas
together to create an follow up to the
Darwin called darwin FTW it's the
whole series single pedal double
pedal middle pedal lefty righty pedal
hi-hat remote hi-hat and so on you're
going through them
step-by-step yes first things the pedal
the double pedal is inside here the
thing we need here is actually this one
that's an entire double pedal basically
these are two single pedals and the
drive shaft is also inside here let me
put this to the side so dennis is like
the mad scientist the thing was that the
former version of the Darwin already had
the opportunity to fold it together or
not fold it but two remove the part from
the base plate to travel more compactly
but I haven't figured out an easy way to
remove the pillow without falling
underneath the pedal and also it was a
little tricky to transport the pedal
because this part had to attached it had
to be attached somewhere so that was the
that's the very first thing is the pedal
is still unfold I think it's easy to
talk about that so the new pedal is a
little easier to
fold let's say and also it has some
space for the beater and everything
together so this part is also settled on
on a adapter part so there's no movement
at all and you can literally throw that
pedal like this in the backpack -
suitcase and you're good to go that was one of
the major things on the single pedal is
about two kilograms and the whole double
pedal beaters and driveshaft is about
4.5 kilograms all together all together
wow with this
rucksack backpack whatever I'd like to
call it it's little bit below 6
kilograms I think so like Dennis
mentioned before I I personally prefer
heavy-bass drum beater and I really like
the possibility of not getting rid of
the bass drum beater and buying a new one I
really like that one attaching can just
change this let's go to round plate it's
a bit heavier and I use those regarding
the feeling yeah to me actually yeah
it's a direct life pedal feels like a
direct drive pedal the big advantage is
no for me it was like okay I just have
like regular settings medium spring
tension right now yeah the vdl kind of
if it's if we call it a vdl slider
slider in a kind of position where it's
like if you could compare to the axis
pedals all the way back so I really like
that heavy feel so although it's a
direct drive pedal get a lot of punch
leverage so and all of you know you know
from 140 on I'm using just my calf
muscles the ankle technique so at
slower tempos...
