How our reviews work

  • A few days after your order ships we'll email you a link to leave a review. When your feedback is published it will carry a Customer verified badge, so others know it came from a real order with us.
  • We only ever edit a review to remove profanity, spam, or personal details - otherwise it's published exactly as written, good or bad. We won’t ever remove or edit critical ones.
  • You don't need to have bought a product from us to review it - if you know the product, we want you to let other shoppers know what you honestly think, using the form on the product page. These are moderated in the same way, but won't carry our Customer verified badge.

Pearl P-800CX lightweight bass drum pedal

The Pearl P-800CX is a lightweight single bass drum pedal designed to deliver smooth, responsive performance with straightforward adjustment options. Its sprocketless single-chain drive and Perfect Circle cam provide an even, consistent motion from footboard to beater, helping drummers achieve controlled, powerful strokes across a range of playing styles.

Combining a compact folding frame with an adjustable footboard, secure spring tension and a dual-surface beater, the P-800CX offers practical Features for everyday drumming. Its lightweight construction and folding radius-rod frame also make it convenient to transport.

Smooth, resistance-free footboard

The redesigned footboard has a resistance-free construction that promotes smooth forward movement along the pedal surface. This allows the foot to move naturally through the stroke, supporting quick footwork and responsive bass drum playing.

The footboard design also provides a direct, consistent feel underfoot, helping drummers maintain control over their playing without unnecessary resistance from the pedal mechanism.

Perfect Circle cam

The P-800CX uses Pearl's Perfect Circle cam, which provides smooth, even motion between the footboard and beater. Its round profile delivers a consistent response throughout the pedal stroke, helping drummers produce quick, powerful bass drum hits with a predictable feel.

Combined with the single-chain drive, the cam provides a straightforward, responsive mechanism suited to a variety of playing techniques.

Click-Lock spring tension adjustment

Pearl's Click-Lock spring tension adjustment secures the chosen setting to help prevent tension from changing during playing. This helps maintain a consistent pedal feel between sessions and reduces the need for repeated adjustments.

By allowing spring tension to be set to the player's preference, the P-800CX can be configured for a lighter response or a firmer feel, depending on individual technique.

Adjustable footboard and beater angle

The pedal and beater angles can be adjusted to suit individual playing preferences. Reference marks help users set the angles evenly, making it easier to establish a consistent pedal position and reproduce a preferred setup.

These adjustments allow drummers to tailor the relationship between footboard movement and beater travel, helping them find a comfortable balance of control, response and power.

DuoBeat two-surface beater

The included DuoBeat beater offers felt and solid plastic striking surfaces in one design. The felt side produces a softer, rounded bass drum attack, while the plastic side delivers a more pronounced, focused sound.

Switching between the two surfaces allows drummers to alter the character of the bass drum without needing a separate beater, providing a practical way to adapt the sound to different musical styles and playing preferences.
