DW Double Bass Drum Pedal Bag
The DSCP8002PB is the carrying bag DW offers for its double bass drum pedals, sold on its own, without a pedal. A double pedal travels badly among the rest of the hardware: its connecting shaft is the thinnest part of the whole assembly, and it is the one that bends when a cymbal stand leans on it for a two-hour drive.
What sets it apart
- Carrying bag listed for the manufacturer's double pedals
- Sold on its own: pedal not included
- Takes the pedal out of the case where the heavy hardware rides
- The pedal stays assembled, so your settings survive the trip
- Stores and carries separately from the rest of your gear
Why a double pedal does not travel like the rest
A single pedal can, at a pinch, slip into a corner of a hardware bag. A double pedal cannot: it is two baseplates linked by a shaft, and that shaft twists as soon as weight presses on it at an angle. Wedged between a straight stand and a snare stand, it takes loads that no pedal was designed to carry while sitting still.
A dedicated bag ends that close contact. The pedal stays assembled, lies flat, and the heavy metal travels elsewhere. It is the simplest way to find, night after night, the stroke and tension you had set.
What the trip really costs a pedal
Breakage is the rare damage; the common damage is quieter. A pedal shaken against other metal parts arrives with screws a little looser, a stop that has moved two degrees, a memory lock that has slipped. Nothing shows, yet the pedal no longer responds quite the way it did the day before.
So what a dedicated bag buys you is not, first of all, protection against impact: it is the certainty that the pedal comes out of the vehicle in the same state it went in, and that setup does not begin with an adjustment session.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it come with the pedal?
- No. The manufacturer sells the bag on its own; the pedal is sold separately.
- Which pedals fit inside?
- The manufacturer lists it as a double pedal bag without giving a compatibility list. Measure your assembled pedal before ordering, especially if it is from another brand.
- Can the pedal stay assembled in the bag?
- That is the intended use: you do not separate the two baseplates or the connecting shaft. It is also what preserves the stroke and tension you set.
- Is it really worth it if I already carry a hardware case?
- That is exactly where it helps. In a hardware case, the double pedal is both the most fragile and the heaviest piece: it damages the rest as much as it gets damaged.
