John Longstreth Demon Child

John Longstreth puts the Demon Drive Pedal to the test. Topeka, Kansas based band Origin is touring behind it's latest release Antithesis and drummer John Longstreth now has the Demon Drive Pedal onboard. "I have had my Demon Drive for a couple months now and I'm still making adjustments FOR FUN!………what I love the most about it is I could take it from a full blown Origin show directly to a wedding gig and not change a thing on it." The Demon Drive pedal can be adjusted from a longboard pedal, offering a slightly lighter, quicker feel that is the preferred setup when speed is a necessity, to a traditional shortboard in seconds.

"The versatility of the pedal is simply unprecedented.The ability to change cam and lever positions, along with the Ninja Bearings make it the smoothest and fastest bass drum pedal while still retaining a natural feel."  Designed for skateboarding, the Ninja Bearings feature micro-polished steel balls for amazing low friction and also use a labyrinth cut to protecte the inner bearing parts from outside elements. The two-position Beater Stroke Adjustment and two-position Direct Link Adjustment allow the player to create a slightly lighter or heavier feel of the pedal depending on their preferred setting. Adjusting the Duo-Deck in combination with the Beater Holder and Direct Link Adjustments yields 8 possible Pedal Configurations, allowing the player to truly create their ideal pedal configuration.

In addition to the flex-free Z Link Drive Shaft and Adjustable Traction Plate, there's a reason it's called The Fastest, Smoothest, Most Versatile Pedal In the World… "It’s plenty fast enough for Origin AND keeps plenty of power all throughout those higher tempos."
