Verified roster hardware entry: "Pearl Demon Drive Double Pedal." Source: roster gear.hardware (verified: true; sources on the drummer record).

## Setup Context

- Direct drive: Rigid rod, zero slack — the most immediate, "cam-less" connection between footboard and beater. The fastest and most consistent response of the three, with the least unaccounted-for sideways flex.
- Double pedal: A primary pedal mounted on the hoop plus a slave pedal, linked by a drive shaft that runs along the floor and turns a second beater on the same head. Best suited to blast beats, sustained sixteenth-note kick patterns, and virtually every other modern metal subgenre.
