The Speed Star Bearing works wonderfully on my DW-5000 pedal. There is a noticeable difference in the smoothness of the pedal action and it does accelerate the speed of the pedal itself. The DW pedals tend to feel a little "sticky" at times, but the Speed Star Bearing has solved that issue very well. Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot) |

The Canopus Speed Star Bearing took my classic, reliable DW pedal and made it even better. One simple to install part took a great feeling pedal, and made it even smoother and faster. I was amazed at the difference. Jim Rupp (Columbus Percussion) |

I am old school and generally don't go for new fangled drum and hardware gadgets. The Canopus Speed Star Bearing is very cool though, After a few minutes of easy installation, my reliable DW 5000 Pedal was magically transformed into a very smooth and fast pedal. The feel is changed greatly as there is more consistency in the back and forth foot-board and beater motion. Some might even say that it plays like butter. This seemingly small attachment, makes a big difference. Michael Tocker (Daddy's Junky Music) |

I fitted the Speed Bearing to my Yamaha FP570 and it has made a remarkable difference to both the action and the response - far beyond my expectations I should add. Ian Croft (Editor of iDrum Magazine) |
