DW-9000 系列踏板
  拥有多项专利设计的DW9000系列踏板，可说是继5000系列之后又一佳作，近乎完美的设计，可说是工匠艺术的结晶。DW新9000系列大鼓踏板为DW最新的大鼓踏板技术，为了让大鼓踏板更平顺平滑(smooth)，并且能够成为抵抗重力的机械装置(gravity-defying action)，DW9000的Floating Rotor并不是像传统的踏板固定在驱动轴(drive shaft)上,而是在free-floating drive shaft上使用低摩擦的滚珠轴承(friction-reducing ball bearings)。另外，专利的转子(Roter)，能够使用力矩调整系统(Infinite Torque Adjustment)来调整DW9000，从中心点center的涡轮(Turbo-style)到偏心点的加速(Accelerator-style)两种模式，使鼓手更能随心所欲的来操控大鼓的技巧。专利的设计像是(free-floating rotor-drive system)，(rotating swivel spring)，(infinitely adjustable cam)，三者间的密切合作使得DW9000能更直接的转换脚的力量成为打击的力道以及更多的精确度。以下先针对这些优点为大家介绍

力矩(Torque)的调整
DW9000的特点包括了(Infinite Adjustable Cam),使得踏板很轻易的就可以设定成(Accelerator Drive)或(Turbo Drive)或两者之间。 原厂设定为一般较普遍的设定，包含了标准的偏心轮力矩，然而9000的驱动装置可以依照鼓手喜好任意的调整成各种模式。
Eccentric(偏离圆心的)--Accelerator Style(加速)
将踏板设定成加速模式使得踏板和鼓槌关系较紧密而敏感，也就是说踏板踩下去的力量,速度和距离在反应到鼓槌上面都会更快。这样的一个模式适合需要增加速度以及踏板敏感度多一点的鼓手。
Concentric(同圆心的)--Turbo Style(涡轮)
将踏板设定成涡轮模式使得踏板和扣炼齿轮之间的关系更紧密结实并且更有力，使用踏板的力道和鼓槌打到大鼓的感觉相当一致，适合一般用途的鼓手。
踏板弹簧[Floating Swivel Spring]　
DW9000系列的弹簧有别于以往踏板的设计，将踏板弹簧设置在骨架内侧(以往的设计通常在外侧)，增强了鼓槌的打击和回受两着的力量，创造了低阻抗和更平滑的感觉。另外也特别加强弹簧的机构部分，使其降低由机构本身所产生的噪音，并增加其弹簧的松紧度。
　调整弹簧的步骤：
　　1.将弹簧上方的圆形螺帽(round knurled nut)放松，也就是转向上方。
　　2.向下轻拉六脚螺帽(hex nut.)。
　　3.向上转紧或向下转松六脚螺帽到适合的松紧度，再将圆形螺帽转紧，
即完成了弹簧的调整。
浮动转子驱动系统[Free-Floating Rotor drive system]　
DW9000系列专利的浮动转子驱动系统(Free-Floating Rotor drive system)，能将大鼓踏板的能量最直接的转换到鼓槌上面，这样的设计也使用低摩擦力的球状承轴，使得整个踏板在使用起来更感到平顺并且不费力

精密万向连接装置[Precision Universal Assembly]　　
DW9000双踏板采用DW的精密万向连接装置(Precision Universal Assembly)，DW是唯一一家自己生产这种机械装置的鼓公司，为的是让踏板能够有更精确和更严格的品质水准

单一骨架设计[Single Post Casting]　　
双踏板的左脚使用专利的单柱设计(Single Post Casting)，这样的设计使得双踏板容易和hi-hat做接合，而且也使得鼓手容易play一些技巧(ex:同时使用左脚play hi-hat和大鼓)。

脚跟升降平台[Elevator Heel Platform]
　　dw的脚跟升降平台有9种高度可以调整，使鼓手能以更舒服的方式来打鼓而不用牺牲速度、力量或正确性，使用不同的高度组合可使得脚跟和踏板做不同角度的变化

大鼓框夹[Hoop Clamp]
dw所设计的大鼓框夹可以轻易和大鼓鼓框做紧密的结合，使用上相当方便，不会有任何其他的机构设计上的缺陷而导致调整的不便。

Since the early 1950's, the Vater Family has applied advances in technology to their manufacturing process to give drummers the most consistent and highest quality drumsticks in the world. The Vater Family has truly perfected the art of drumstick manufacturing, leaving the competition scrambling to keep up.

Bring it on...

With Chocolate St*rfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, the Limp Bizkit five-man assault crew bring it on like it never has before. With over 13 tracks - including one that's so phat it had to be presented in two different versions in order to fit everything in - the quintet from Jacksonville, FL, that's spent the past four years turning the rock world on its head and spinning it round and round is back with its third album, a set of songs that's deeper, denser and harder hitting than anything that's preceded it.

"It's kind of a combination," explains Wes Borland, the guitarist of many faces. "It's a third level as a combination of Significant Other and Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$, kind of the heaviness of Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ but more mature and focused in a better way." Adds drummer John Otto, "It's us with different edges."

On Chocolate St*rfish, those edges are the product of growth, maturity, and the confidence that comes from being one of the world's most distinctive, popular, and, when necessary, controversial bands. "People are aftaid of this band," says Borland, who makes that observation with a certain degree of pride. After all, a hint of danger has always been one of the vanguards of rock n' roll.

Limp Bizkit formed six years ago in Jacksonville, an assemblage of visionaries brought together by frontman Fred Durst, a former Navy plebe turned tattoo artist who'd been writing raps since he was 14. The collision of sensibilities between Durst, Otto, Borland, bassist Sam Rivers and House of Pain DJ Lethal formed a synthesis that was entirely of its time, a sonic barrage of crunchy power chords, phat grooves and psycho-delic loops that was without precedent- at least all under the same roof.

The 1997 debut Three Dollar Bill, Y'all$ ushered Limp Bizkit inot the platinum house, thanks to an irreverent hit remake of George Michael's "Faith" and an attention-getting spot on the 1998 OZZFest bill, with its famous giant toilet stage prop. But Limp Bizkit really ascended to te throne with 1999's Significant Other, a ranting, raging masterpiece that debuted at No. 1 on Billboard Top 200, selling 634,874 copies during its first week of release and went on to sell more than six million copies.

As Durst notes on the new album, Lim Bizkit "crawled up you butt somehow/and that's when things got turned around," and what followed was a torrent of activity and accolades that left scorched earth and happily spent mosh pits. With the hits - "Nookie," "Rearranged," "Break Stuff" - as a soundtrack played at the WHFStival in Washington, D.C., and at Woodstock '99 in Rome, N.Y., and it headlined the 1999 Family Values tour. Durst was named a Senior Vice-President at Interscope and started his own label, Flawless; he also signed on to direct the films "Nature's Cure" and "Runt." Rivers, meanwhile, was named the Best Rock Bass Player at the 2000 Orville H. Gibson Guitar Awards.

And as it set out to start work on what would become Chocolate St*rfish, Limp Bizkit was also tapped to record the theme song for Mission Impossible 2, scoring a summer hit with "Take a Look Around" which is also featured on the new album.

The keywords for Chocolate St*rfish were bigger, badder, harder, heavier, phatter, funkier…you get the idea. "There's a lot of really good melody, and everything about every part is pretty catchy," says Otto. "It's new and really melodic. There's all kinds of different hooks going on within the music. You could listen to the music by itself, really, but once the vocals get over and Lee does all his DJ stuff, it takes it up to that enormous, killer level."
