The Darwin FTW Double Bass Pedal by ACD Unlimited**

The ACD Unlimited Darwin FTW Double Bass Pedal is a high-end, hand-built drum pedal designed for maximum customization, precision, and efficiency. Developed over many years, it focuses on giving drummers complete control over their setup, allowing nearly every parameter to be adjusted for a personalized feel. Its symmetrical design and mirrored left/right construction provide balanced ergonomics and extra space for advanced techniques like slide playing. The pedal supports both strap and direct drive systems, making it highly versatile across different playing styles and genres. Built from precision-machined components, it emphasizes smooth motion, low friction, and consistent response even at lower spring tension. Overall, it is considered a premium, boutique pedal aimed at professional drummers seeking ultimate performance and flexibility.

Specs:

• Type: Double bass drum pedal (configurable as single, double, or middle)
• Drive system: Convertible strap drive or direct drive
• Footboard options: Shortboard or longboard (interchangeable)
• Construction: CNC-machined aluminum with ball-bearing components
• Drive cam: Split cam with independently adjustable geometry
• Spring system: Optimized geometry, tool-free adjustable tension with ball bearings
• Beater: Dynamic beater with interchangeable weights and striking surfaces
• Driveshaft: Aluminum, fully ball-bearing supported, zero-play design
• Weight: ~4.5 kg (double pedal)
• Adjustability: Extensive (beater angle, footboard angle, spring tension, clamp position, etc.)
• Extras: Reference markings for repeatable setups, backpack or hard case included
