Setting Up Your Double Pedal

[@Inshadows]

Great video, man. The recoil thing is from a really old Dave Lombardo Clinic in Italy ;)

[@highstickpercussioncustomd1453]

Thanks for the video! Totally different way of checking double pedal adjustments that I haven't seen before. I'm going in to test mine now! Bonus points for quickly getting to the point and not starting the vid with a 3 minute drum solo and/or 5 minutes of a song forced down the viewer's throat just to get to the content! (Wow....I think I just unloaded some deep down, repressed anger towards some other people's videos - sorry 'bout that!) Thanks again!

Thank you so much Dude! I just got my Dbl Bass Pedals today & you gave out some really good pointers! The Recoil sync & ensuring our tension is adjusted right so that we get 4 - 5 recoils after striking! Nobody tells you that! LOL! And adjusting the beaters. I virtually had no idea how far they should be! And tightening our springs! I super appreciate ALL the info you presented here! Thank you so much! I’m super pumped about using them! 🤘🏼💋🤗💕

[@Aiba271]

I just got my double pedals and this was extremely assuring and helpful for me. Thanks!!!

[@carrie7225]

putting a second spring on the slave pedal at around 10 percent on the tension really helps with the evenness

[@NEWAGenTChannel]

This is a excellent explanation of how to tune your pedals. Thank you!

[@trolltopro]

Just the answer I was looking for! Nice

[@habanerat]

Good video bro! You look a lot like Murr from Impractical Jokers!

[@peytonstevens3466]

I have the iron cobra 600, with a dw beater. The pedal that’s loose is the second bass pedal.

[@turnsoonest]

This is super helpful. Thank you.

Hallo, i have just bought the pearl demon double pedal, i used to play with pearl eliminator with chain, it is a big difference, i saw your direct link adjustment is at the L position, would you recommend that for speed or it is better at the H position, which was the factory setting? Btw i found your video very helpfull.

[@carlochoa2116]

Good job dude!

[@seansearle9340]

When i push my beaters to the bass drum and let go, the left pedal does 3 returns then stops whereas my right pedal does about 20 ish but its in sync for one bounce is there any way of fixing it thanks in advance

[@eugeneromero]

great advice. Gonna try that

[@Danfromoverthere]

Great video man

[@junkeee1]

Dude thx for the video I have the exact same pedal and I'm struggling to tight the springs Do u have any advice

[@peytonstevens3466]

Bro I tighten the screw all the way the screw that’s holding the beater in and the beater still twists and turns and eventually flies out of the hole, idk how to securely make it stay. Sorry if I don’t make sense haha

[@Starkill]

sounds like you probably have a stripped screw or the hole itself is actually stripped.

[@TheMasonator777]

Peyton Stevens Lock-tite it, if it’s loose and not stripped.

[@dominic8129]

Thanks man. Useful stuff. I'm thinking of going for either Tama 900 series or the direct drive of any company. Which do you recommend for fast hertas?

[@MrE1981]

Sounds like your direct link bearings are trashed! I replaced mine with regular linear bearings, 625 size IIRC. I replaced the heel plate bearings as well.

[@CorridorOfChameleons94]

Dont really agree with the beaters being close to the head to be considered cheating. Great pedals though.

[@Starkill]

"Cheating" may have been the wrong word choice. I just tend to see less experienced drummers set their pedals up that way when triggering, because it's easier for them to get quick bursts of fast notes, which sounds really impressive if you're new to the trigger game, but setting them a little bit further back helps you develop control. Again, it's all preference, and as long as you are practicing correctly and play cleanly, do whatever works best for you.

[@CorridorOfChameleons94]

@@Starkill ahhhh ok. Gotcha.

[@KAJYT6969]

Also, when do you think you should buy new springs for your pedals?

[@Starkill]

I've only ever replaced my springs once. And that was because they broke.

[@KAJYT6969]

I feel like my foot pedal just doesn't have enough response to do consistent beats, I have a Dw3000. thought it was the springs getting looser

[@ggjezusgod505]

thank u!

[@KAJYT6969]

Is that a FMA tattoo on your arm?

[@Nuk335]

H1V1 yes it is

[@erictorres4889]

I don’t play double pedals play 2 bass drums . 2 bass drums are better to me .

[@vandavis000]
