I have been playing double bass pedal for about two and a half years on the same single chain dixon pedals i bought back then.

Six months ago, I used to be able to keep a constant clean double bass kick going for about five minutes at 120 bpm, then that increased to 130bpm.

I really need some advice and help here because I am struggling to keep a constant beat at that speed for two minutes.

the pedals feel really loose compared to when i first got them

i practice alot of things for smoothness and independance and it feels like I have lost the feel for them. Im really disheartened by this and frustrated because I am feeling really uncomfortable playing doubles and after two and a half years I should not feel like this.

Is it me? or the pedals possibly. Please help

your advice and help is greatly appreciated
