    Default Double bass drum PEDAL Help

    K, Ive been playing for 2 year, and playing double bass sinc echristmass (mainly latin and jazz and metal)

    And I play double bass drum, both same company and pedal, not sure about size.

    And I noticed one of the pedals was...well I dont no what was happening to it, but it felt like it wasnt rebounding, it was like it was sticking if that is a good way to explain it. I tried everything to this one bass pedal, from tightening to losening, to tightening the BASS DRUM. Moving the beater, moving it too a different bass drum and it doesnt do anything it is really frustrating coz I cant practice above 145 BPM without this thing sticking and not bouncing at all. Anyone else experiance this proble, if so I need some suggestion to fix it.

    Thanks alot guys I appreciate it!

    Tighten the spring. It's hard to explain how to do it, but if you mess around with it for a while you can figure it out. It's the vertical spring that controls the tension of the pedals.

    I think he said he tried tightening the spring. I'm going to suggest greasing up the bearing or getting an entirely new one.

    The only two constants I have are DW and Zildjian.

    I'd try oiling the bearings....That could cause a pedal to "stick".

    Or if u can, new bearings. I've done it and it makes a huge difference.

    But right of the bat you need to grease those bearings.
