Product Description
DFP8500C Features
Beater Shaft Locker

The teardrop shaped shaft hole holds the shaft securely. The shaft’s flat surface keeps the 2-way beater from swiveling while playing.
Beater Angle Adjustment
Loosening the adjustment screw lets you freely adjust the beater angle along with the footboard angle.
Spring Tension Adjustment with Self Lock

One hand spring tension adjustment is easy, and a lock bolt secures the setting to prevent loosening during play.
Simple Hoop Clamp Mechanism


A wing bolt firmly tightens the clamp for secure attachment, and thus allows the clamp to accommodate different hoop thicknesses.
Spring Roller with Built-in Bearings

Precision bearings deliver smooth, natural pedal action.
Base Frame Tie Rods
Rubber coated tie rod ends prevent the footboard and base frame from becoming disconnected.
Longer Footboard

The Footboard of DFP8500C is longer than of DFP9500C.
New Designed Spike on Slave Pedal

Frame Structure
This Yamaha original design incorporates a sub-frame just below the rocker shaft in order to deliver greater stability and durability. Drummers will experience smoother, more stable movement particularly in double pedal setups since bearings for both the main and remote beaters are incorporated into the sub-frame.
