If this happens one more time
... That guy's saying "ONE MORE TIME!" lol
I'm really getting sick of dealing with my PDP402 pedals. On second thought, I'm really getting sick of all my PDP hardware! The main two things that I need figured out are as follows:
This problem has never happened until recently...
The spring and all its counterparts on the left side (that hold the beater in place) of the right pedal, keep on falling completely off right in the middle of playing, forcing me to get down on my hands and knees like a monkey and find out what the hell is going on, which by the way I have failed, that is why I come to you all lol.
To describe what happens more clearly (I don't have a camera), I'll be playing using my hi hat and right pedal, which is the strange part, and all of a sudden feel the left beater either fall back on my leg or stay straight against the bass head. The part that tightens on the bottom of the screw is the problem I believe. I've tried making more room for the thing on the screw, up to about a half an inch out the bottom, and still it falls off. My right beater has never had this problem and I'm using that as my only reference.

My stupid friggin hi hat clutch
. This thing has caused me problems since I bought it, again PDP hardware. I'll tighten the clutch on the top hat just like it should be and sit it about a centimeter away from the bottom hat. I do this because the PST-3's I own sound much to open if they're farther apart. Anyway, after almost every song where I use it, not even that much sometimes, it will keep getting looser and looser on the clutch, the part that holds the top hat not the part that tightens on to the rod. It will do this until eventually it just becomes flat and flying all over the place.
My band and I have a big big show coming up next weekend so I need some tips on how to keep this from happening.
Thanks guys
