Personal Review: Yamaha DFP 9315 aka Flying Dragon

Note: this is my personal (subjective) review about yamaha dfp, and maybe different result from one to another. And I'am not endorsed by yamaha.

Actually, i intend to buy Pearl Powershifter 2002 double pedal for my drumset I read a lot of good review about powershifter,and easy to play and adjust. Interchangeable a chain with a belt too. I was informed that Pearl Powershifter around 2.7 million rupiahs to 3.2 million.. (it's expensive things).
Because i live in Semarang, i decide to look around music store like Kurnia Music and Halmamera Music.
I found Powershifter on Kurnia Music aroud 3.3 million rupiahs, and i couldn't found that thing at Halmahera Music. As u know, halmahera music has been my favorite place to search and buy music stuff.
Because, they can beat any prices in any music store.. and of course cheaper than any music store..if u dont believe, just try!
But i was dissapointed, that they have not stock Powershifter. They provide Yamaha, Tama, Stable, Stagg and other china brand. Shortly, i tried Yamaha both DFP 9410 and 93145, i wasn't interest to use Iron Cobra coz i had tried before, and it feel hard to play with left foot. Both Yamaha soft and strong construction, but i can change the chain to belt with 9315. In My opinion the 9315 is more natural than 9410 (dirert drive)--> feel like pearl powershifter.
Okay, i conclude to buy yamaha DFP 9315 with a cheaper price than other store, 2.4 million rupiahs. Huh.. they robbed my wallet :D.
Immediately i change the chain with belt, it give me soft and speedness than chain. And i have to adapted few day and hour to familiarize my feet(especially left) for using that pedal, and the same power between left and right feet.
And, the conclusion this is nice, speed, soft, strong double pedal. I can play speed metal like helloween, power metal like alterbridge and give some triple accent with left foot when i play funk.
U can see and listen i played with this pedal... maybe i have to learn increasing my speed to play grindcore..:D.



Conclusion (pake bahasa indonesia..males translate in english..capeee booo).
Pros:
- Yamaha Double Pedal, asik sekali dimainin... soft, natural dan kuerass (loud) gitu. Katanya kalo pake chain lebih keras lagi suaranya. Sayangnya saya sudah kadung suka pakai "belt".
- Asik buat main, speed metal dan sound yang keluar dari bass drum benar2 nendang meskipun tenaga yang dipake nggak penuh
- Asik juga pengganti olahraga bersepeda, bagi yang males keluar rumah dan panas-panasan. Asli sebentar aja mainin dah gembrobyos...
- Dapet soft case cantik, bisa dibawa kemana-mana kalo mau konser atau sekedar pamer ke mall (kurang kerjaan banget :)) )
- Dudukannya fix dan stabil banget, jadi nggak "jalan2" meski ditendang sekuat tenaga, soalnya ada plat ditambah karet dan pengait yang kuat di bawah footboard.
- Apa lagi ya...coba aja sendiri deh, kalo menurut saya...saya lebih suka ini daripada Iron Cobra...


Cons:
Muahal, Muahal, Muahal! Jika tidak di halmahera music harganya mencapai 3. Tapi di Halmahera saya dapat diskon jadi bisa tak beli seharga 2.4 kurang malah.
Tapi saya kira, harga double pedal yang berkualitas memang segitu lah. Misalnya Tama Iron Cobra atau Pearl Powershifter ya sekitar 2.5 sampai 3.3... untuk sebuah double pedal saja booo..
Saya mungkin sudah gila membeli barang ini! (obsesi masa kecil), dan itung2 buat belajaran anak saya juga..biar nanti bisa kek Jason Bittner atau Mike Portnoy..hehehe.
