To align the footboards of your DW 3000 hi-hat and double kick pedal, here are a few things you can try: Adjust the Hi-Hat Pedal Tension: The DW 3000 hi-hat stand has a tension adjustment, which can make the pedal feel stiffer or looser. Tightening the tension might raise the pedal closer to the angle of your left kick. Change Footboard Heights: The DW 3000 double pedal has an adjustment feature for the footboard angle. You can use a drum key to adjust the angle of the footboard by loosening the screws and then adjusting the angle until it matches the hi-hat pedal more closely. Adjusting the beater angle and spring tension of the left kick pedal can help bring the footboard in line with the hi-hat. Positioning and Placement: Slightly adjust the placement of your pedals. If your left kick pedal is placed a little farther or closer to you, it may naturally align better with the hi-hat pedal. By fine-tuning these settings, you should be able to get the footboards more aligned and improve your playing. Keep testing and tweaking until it feels comfortable!

Thanks for the quick reply! I will try tweaking the kick pedal. Would definitely prefer the hihat coming up to meet the kick angle, but I’ll take what I can get!

Glad to hear you got the Donner DED-70! 🎶 The USB cord can power it if you're connecting to a computer or a USB power source, but for consistent power and reliability, especially during longer sessions, an AC adapter is definitely recommended. You can check the manual or contact Donner for the exact specs, but usually, it's a 9V adapter. Hope this helps!

You're welcome! Glad it helped! Keep rocking 🤘

Thank you for the kind words! As for your question, it is possible to mix different pedals to build your own double pedal, but it can be tricky. The key is to make sure the pedals are compatible in terms of size and how they connect. Ideally, using the same brand ensures smoother integration, but if you're set on mixing brands, make sure the drive shaft (the bar that links the pedals) works with both. It might take a bit of trial and error, but with the right adjustments, it can definitely work. Good luck with your setup!

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching 🤘

@@badnewschris8002 Thanks so much for watching!!

I am not familiar with a Pearl Excalibur pedal. Never heard of it! However, on most pedals there are adjustments that would help with the issue you described. Usually it would be a pedal height, and/or beater angle adjustment.

I’m so glad you found the video helpful! It’s true-sometimes videos skip over those basic setups, but they’re so important, especially when you're just getting started. If you have any other questions about your drum layout or anything else, feel free to ask! Keep rocking! 🥁😊

You’re so welcome! Glad I could help out! If you ever need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out. Keep crushing it! 🤘🥁

I've had it for almost 6 months, and they've never loosened so far!

@@drummereub Thanks!

Depending on what module you have, there are usually jacks labeled Master Output R & L(mono). Just plug your speaker/amp into the L(mono) output, and that's it!

They thought it would be funny to keep me from getting in line. I wasn't pissed about it though 😂

I've never tried using it as an acoustic kit, but I think it'll work fine. I'd say go ahead and try it if you can get the kit cheap enough. If not, then just get a cheap Pearl Export kit.

@drummereub what's a good price and what's a GREAT price for an Export kit with kick, 2 rack toms, and a floor tom?

@@LeeGibsonSings Used good price $3-500. Great price less than $300.

No, but it's available online.

Great, thank you@@drummereub

Which one? The Tama?

@@drummereub Yes. Sorry, I should have specified. The Tama Sizzle Drop Clutch

@@mattchase2112 The Tama Sizzle won't keep your hi-hat closed tightly, you'd still need to do that with your foot. It only lets you control the amount of wash, or sizzle when engaged. Hopefully that helps!

lol bro I am in the exact same position as you, I even also paid $200 for the set lol

@@siliconrockstar187 what color is it ......... 🤣

Yes! It works perfectly. You probably won't even need a 2 leg stand.

@@drummereub Thanks so much for the reply! I will let you know how it does once I get it setup

You need to replace the Swivel Nut Inserts. They are designed to replace missing or stripped swivel nuts on toms or a snare drum. These fit with most snare drums and toms, and help keep your drums tuned up and working properly. gibraltarhardware.com/products/sc-ln-small-swivel-nut-inserts-for-snare-tom-drum-lug-12-pack

Thank you.

Yes, it's the same thing. Mix or Aux 👍

Weird! I've never heard of that happening before 😳

@@drummereub driving me nuts lol. It's like the cord in the aux wiggles and my phone goes all wacky

@@offswitch1 Have you tried a new aux cord?

@@drummereub yes 1st was from Amazon second is Walmart crap.

@@offswitch1 Maybe the aux input on the module is no good. You say it wiggles around when plugged in.
