Professional double pedal with longboard and direct drive
The Fame double pedal DFP-ONE Direct Drive is a professionaldouble pedal with direct drive, longboard, precision beaters and excellent workmanship. Thanks to the precise power transmission and excellent adjustment possibilities, the Fame DFP-ONE series is especially suitable for high-speed drummers. Numerous features of the Bass Drum pedals are absolutely unique for this price range. A mounted tension spring, adjustable spring tension and the stepless cardan shaft result in perfect handling. The one-sided column design on the slave pedal makes it easier to set up, as it can be better combined with a hi-hat stand.
Double pedal for high-speed drummers: Fame DFP-ONE
Two solid base plates on the DFP-ONE Direct Drive ensure a firm stand, these are equipped with retractable spikes. The hoop clamp has a rubber damper, so the hoop is not damaged. The spring mount is pivoted at the lower end, this makes the playing feel noticeably more direct and there is an even transmission of power, in addition, the spring tension is adjustable. The beater angle is also infinitely adjustable, both Precision Beaters in hammer shape produce a solid attack with a round hitting surface. The cardan shaft has a screwed swivel joint at both ends with stepless alignment. In addition, the slave pedal with its one-sided column construction is better to integrate in the set and the hi-hat pedal is closer to the double pedal.

I decided to take a gamble and opted for the fame direct drive over the pearl chain drive double bass pedals. The full metal finish is excellent, the pedal feel and instant recovery is exactly what I expected. Size of the pedal is like a longboard and perfect for me. The overall quality is excellent, some machining isn't perfect but these can't be compared to the likes of trick pedals. everything is customizable and can be adjusted. You get spare felt beater tips, 2 spare springs , extra rubber grips for the pedal clamps and the tools needed to make any adjustments. I'm not overly impressed with the beaters but I am guessing that there lightweight heads are to help with speed. They will require a period of adjustment from my mapex p600 pedals. They look impressive and feel super smooth. I would recommend them if your on a budget and want to try the direct drive. dv247 delivery was super quick to the UK.
Just had this pedal delivered and found the settings are usable straight from the box. However, the pedal needed some extra washers putting in next to the spacers on the direct drive system as these had an excessive amount of play in them, the slave beater assembly also is a bit loose and rattles a little, there is no way to tighten this part up, the pedal is quite loud when in motion because of this. That being said it is a fast pedal and if you're just starting out with direct drive pedals or need a spare for a back up this may be good for you. The pedal beater angle and footboard can be adjusted independently although it is very stiff to do. One very annoying thing and I think this needs to be addressed, dv247 say you can use the slave as a single pedal, well you can but it means disassembling the pedal clamp on the main pedal as they don't send a spare one for the slave. To me, this is very poor. So to sum up, you get a pedal that is usable, quick and looks good, but it's not put together all that well and my example needed some extra washers putting on it to make it stable. I'm not convinced this will last more than 3 or 4 years though I think most people will sell it on and upgrade before they reach that time anyway.
