Building on the success of the MDD Machine Direct Drive Pedal, the DW Machine Chain Drive Pedal (aka MCD Pedal) is a pedal that shares many of the features, industrial design and build-quality of its direct drive cousin.

What’s New With DW Machine Chain Drive Pedal?

The most striking difference is an adjustable, sprocket-less cam that incorporates a gear shift-style lever.

DW Machine Chain Drive Pedal lever allows players to quickly shift between the chain-drive cam settings and is easily accessible when mounted to a bass drum.

DW Director of R&D, Rich Sikra, explains,

“We knew this would be the next logical step when we were introducing the MDD pedals. So many of our artists absolutely love their 9000 pedals, but they’re also enamored with the form and function of DW MFG.

Plus, we knew that the direct drive feel wasn’t for everyone. It’s been a really fun and challenging project for the R&D team.”

Other notable features of DW Machine Chain Drive Pedal include a racing-style, all-aluminum, perforated footboard with matching, contoured heel plate, Tri-Pivot Swivel Toe-Clamp, V.E.R.T. Vertical Spring Adjustment, 110 Control Beater and more.
