The first was that after I loosened them to where it felt the least resistant, after a few beats the spring would actually fall out, which could be different with other pedals idk. The second was that while there was too little resistance, the pedal would actually hit my leg, and that again I guess could change between pedals.
To resolve the problem, I finally said screw it and realized that no matter what I did, I wasn't going to get my desired result because PDP is cheap lol. Seriously though, I loosened it to where I could play heal up and down with the same accuracy. I also then adjusted how far and high my beaters sat so that I didn't get hit with the garbage while playing. As for the little technical errors, the rod connecting the pedals was kinda loose and the small twisty things (technical term) next to the beaters were down too far from the metal piece (another technical term).
Just something about Gretsch and PDP I guess lol. I know three people with the same set and hardware, as well as Phil Collins.
