Double Bass Drum Pedal Setup

[@diabedics]

didnt watch this but i saw the thumbnail and quickly just adjusted my stuff to look similar and its done wonders. thank you

[@drummereub]

That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad the thumbnail alone was helpful for you. It’s great when small adjustments make such a big difference. If you ever want to dive into the full content, I’m sure you’ll find even more useful tips. Keep up the great work! 😊

THANK YOUUUUUU!!! I've always had double bass drums until recently......its my first time using a double pedal in 12 years

[@drummereub]

You’re so welcome! That’s a big switch after 12 years with double bass drums! It might take a little adjusting, but once you get comfortable with the double pedal again, you’ll be back in the groove in no time. If you need any tips for the transition, feel free to ask. Enjoy getting back into it! 🎶🥁🔥

[@streamingbeagle]

Nice to see a video that shows layout of the pedals/snare etc, most videos assume you already know that, which wasn't the case!!!

[@drummereub]

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! 🥁😊

[@jimmygreer2140]

Thank you. My double pedal didn't come with a user manual or anything like that so I was losing my effing mind trying to get the double pedal to play nice with the snare stand. I did have the shaft on the near side of the snare stand but the screws were getting stuck on the snare stand. So then I tried putting the snare on the other side of the shaft but there was just no humanly possible way to set it up comfortably.

[@drummereub]

That sounds so frustrating! Double pedals can definitely be tricky to set up, especially without a manual. One thing you could try is adjusting the positioning of your snare stand height and angle so it doesn’t interfere with the pedal shaft. Some drummers also shift the snare stand slightly to the side or angle the left pedal just a bit to get more clearance. It might take some trial and error, but once you find that sweet spot, it’ll feel a lot more comfortable. If you can, check out online diagrams or videos that show different setups-sometimes seeing how others position their gear can spark a new idea. Hang in there, you’ve got this! 😊🥁

bruh i literally just watched this for the drop clutch - i was curious abt how they did it at the same time. thanks heaps, mate

[@drummereub]

Haha, glad you caught what you were looking for! The drop clutch can be such a game-changer, especially when you’re working double pedals. I’m happy the video helped! If you’ve got any other questions or want more tips on using it, feel free to hit me up. Cheers, mate! 🤘🥁

[@davidsheffield2508]

thank you for making this video, it makes sense to some of us drummers with XYLOPHONES on their set, but not always to the learning drummer

[@drummereub]

I’m really glad you found the video helpful! Yeah, when you’ve got more complex setups like xylophones or other percussion, things can get tricky. I always try to break it down for drummers at all levels, but I totally get how it might not always click for everyone learning the ropes. If you ever have specific questions or need something explained differently, feel free to ask. Keep rocking that unique setup! 🎶🥁

im getting a double bass pedal and have a kick drum tower for my e kit. My single pedal is already attached to my kick drum tower on my e kit and I don't know how to remove it in order to attach my double bass pedal. Please help me

[@PerticaJr]

Hey! I want to buy another bass pedal to build my own double pedal, but can different pedals become a double? Or I need to buy the same brand? Nice video!

[@drummereub]

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!

My problem is with my Pearl Excalibur the left pedal is hitting metal to metal on the round nut directly below it, attached to the base. I adjusted the chain back a little but it lost its sound. Is there another way to stop the collision of the pedal to the bass

[@drummereub]

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.

[@embarakasnerekete2749]

thank you man

[@drummereub]

You're welcome!

[@Mr.BassGuy]

How do I position the hi hat with the left food double bass pedal?

[@drummereub]

Just place them as close together as possible, so your foot can quickly move between them.

[@Mr.BassGuy]

Ok

[@danbalaban1558]

seems like the legs on your snare stand are much smaller than the ones on mine. Can you share what size that stand is?

[@drummereub]

It's just a regular Pearl snare stand. The only ones I've seen with longer legs are made for standing snare height. What kind do you have?

[@jersmith1486]

is there a way to adjust how far apart the beaters are? mine are too far apart for my edrum kick pad.

[@drummereub]

That might be possible depending on what kind of pedal you have.

[@peerlessrecords6236]

great tutorial! just one question, I see you're using the same double bass pedal for your e drum kit like I do. Why is there a second spring? I mean you already have 2 springs on the right pedal, one for each beater, why is there another one on the left pedal? That gives me double spring tension so I would have to loosen both of them to fit them the spring tension of the single right spring which is rlly hard to do..

[@drummereub]

Good question! I don't really use the second spring. This is the only double pedal I've ever seen with an extra spring on the left pedal. I assume it's there so you can increase tension on the left pedal, but why? Maybe in case the left pedal lags.

[@Oerger89]

Because it can be used as a single pedal, the slave pedal even has a beater holder

[@juniqbeatz1323]

@@Oerger89 Ah cool that was my initial thought too thank you for confirming! ✌🏼

[@vishalselvan]

Great video

[@drummereub]

Thanks!

[@chrisbenj3819]

I like to play wide and bowed out like that too funny a lot of Metal drummers do it it seems you get more push with the bass. You can drive the foot into it more

[@drummereub]

That’s a great technique! It’s all about finding what works best for you and allows you to play comfortably and with intensity. If you have any specific setups or adjustments you’re working on, I’d be happy to help! Keep rocking that powerful style! 🤘🥁

[@dancingcross]

Hi. Glad for a fresh video. I've been searching for info on stroke adjustment for the same pedal. It's got adjustment measures on the rocker hub, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to adjust within the smile on the hub or the shaft in the hub? I cannot understand how if the adjustment is within the smile on the hub it remains stationary from the center of gravity within the smile. My kicks keep slapping my shin

[@drummereub]

I think I understand what you're saying. It's difficult to explain. The beater angle adjustment is what you need.

[@dancingcross]

oh wait you change pedals halfway through. I've got the dw 3000

[@drummereub]

Got it! The DW 3000 is a solid pedal. If you’re making any changes or adjustments, make sure to check that everything is set up evenly to avoid any issues. If you need any tips on setting up or adjusting your DW 3000, feel free to ask!

[@texasN1836]

What are the high hat pedals that open when you push down instead of letting up on the pedal? I think I've seen the trivium drummers do that

[@drummereub]

I have never seen that! If you find out, please let me know. I'd be interested in seeing how that works!

[@pietzsche]

@@drummereub hhot hat sort of does this, meant to be used with a standard hat too tho kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmPGhJl4hdp2fpo&ab_channel=DRUM%21Magazine

[@evangeloskostakis8071]

what I don't understand is how do you attach the pedal to the actual kick drum tower

[@drummereub]

Your pedal should have a clamp with a wing nut that can grip the bottom of your kick tower.
