DW's MFG Series Chain Drive Double Bass Drum Pedal combines boutique engineering with practical playability, making it the go–to choice for drummers who reject the feel of direct drive systems. Built from polished anodised aluminium, this pedal inherits the industrial design and build quality of DW's flagship MDD pedal while introducing an adjustable, sprocket–less cam with a gear shift–style lever. Players can switch between the most popular chain–drive cam settings without tools, a feature that proves invaluable during gigs or studio sessions when dialling in feel matters.
The MCD2 double pedal features DW's patented single post casting design, which positions the auxiliary bass pedal closer to the hi–hat, enabling faster foot movement between pedals or simultaneous play. The racing–inspired footboard uses perforated aluminium paired with a contoured heel plate, while the tri–pivot swivel toe clamp (U.S. Patent No. 9240169) secures to any bass drum counter hoop. Vertical spring adjustment via the V.E.R.T. system and an adjustable control weight beater (Patents: US 8633367B2, DE 102011005640) allow deep customisation of pedal response and beater impact, accommodating everything from jazz finesse to hard rock aggression.
