I found the perfect combination

DW 9000 double pedal with Tama Iron Cobra beaters (felt) carried in the Pearl Eliminator bag/case with a 6"x10" 1" thick piece of wood in the bottom so the pedal has a flush surface to sit on when the bag is standing upright.

They really do punch like crazy. I tried the Puresound beaters and I like them but they are a little too shallow. By like a half inch, small but I noticed it when my feet went farther down on the pedal.

Yeah, I use the hard side of the DW beater and I noticed by the wear that only a small portion of the top contacts the head. The Iron Cobra beaters allow you to pivot the head surface for a flush hit on the head. It makes a big difference. I also put the counterweight about half an inch away from the top of the shaft by the beater.
