Pearl P-1002CX Double Pedal

Pearl P-1002CX Elimin8R — Customizable Double Bass Drum Pedal

Built on the legacy of Pearl's iconic Eliminator series, the Pearl P-1002CX Elimin8R is a chain-driven double bass drum pedal delivering pro-level customization at a value price. Eight core performance fundamentals combine into one connected system. A solid frame and full base plate keep both pedals planted during high-impact footwork, while the brushed chrome footboard glides smoothly through every stroke. Gigging drummers who want Eliminator-level feel without flagship pricing will find this pedal ready for stage, studio, and rehearsal alike.

What Sets the Elimin8R Apart

Two patented Pearl technologies anchor the design. The Click-Lock spring tension adjustment (U.S. Patent #7754953) prevents tension creep under heavy play, while the Control Core DuoBeater (U.S. Patent #7626108) pairs hard plastic and felt surfaces around an elastomer core that absorbs vibration. Independent beater angle adjustment on the secondary pedal lets drummers match the feel of both sides precisely.

Drive and Cam System — Speed and Power Tuning

The sprocketless double-chain drive transfers foot motion directly to the drumhead. The Removable Cam System offers two distinct personalities: the Progressive Cam delivers aggressive snap, while the Linear Action Cam produces smooth, even velocity.

• Drive: Sprocketless double chain — direct, stable power transfer with no sprocket lag.
• Cam System: Removable, Progressive and Linear Action options — two distinct feels in one pedal.

Footboard and Powershifter — Tailored Feel

A resistance-free brushed chrome footboard promotes quick motion, while the three-position Powershifter lets drummers adjust leverage. The length-adjustable Universal Joint keeps the auxiliary pedal latency-free and symmetrical with the main pedal.

• Powershifter: Three-position — light, regular, or strong feel.
• Universal Joint: Length-adjustable, latency-free — keeps secondary pedal matched to primary.

Beater, Hoop Clamp, and Frame — Stability and Attack Control

The Control Core DuoBeater offers hard plastic for sharp attack and felt for warmer thump, wrapped around an elastomer center that eliminates vibration. A side-access hoop clamp grips the bass drum hoop securely across a wide range of drum sizes.

• Beater: Control Core DuoBeater (plastic and felt surfaces) — two attack options with vibration damping.
• Hoop Clamp: Side-access — secure, rattle-free attachment to the bass drum hoop.
• Frame: Solid frame with full base support plate — planted stability for high-impact playing.
