I’ve never heard anyone mention this principle, but it makes perfect sense, I’m surprised this isn’t talked about more often

[AFuriousCrab]

You're a genius Sir. I spent a lot of time trying different tensions before I got it right for me. So I thought I'd check my oedal against your method and sure enough my pedal is exactly the same as you describe here. 👏🏼

[deagardianayudhaoperandi]

Thank you sir. Now I know how to set my double pedal properly.

[BeatYourDrum]

Thank you so much!! I had a bad car accident 2 years ago and lost my drum set in the process.. came back and was no where near my old level of drumming after huying a new set. I got frustrated! I didnt have my same speed or control!! But now that i saw this it reminded me that being comfortable depends on how you set it up!! Now im flying ❤ thank you so much!!

[LeonardoOliveiraBat]

Never thought about it, but makes total sense

[informanti]

Man I sure wish I had a smartphone and YouTube growing up when I started drumming. So much good advice on here, this video definitely being one of them.

[jenniferhoffman]

Thank you!!! My 5 year old daughter love playing drums, tips like this will help her play longer!!!!

[stephenbarton]

Man I nearly threw away (sold) another set of double pedals thinking they were the issue. I just need this video and now I am off to the races. Now the real work begins!

[MrMetalclay]

Amazing! I can't wait to try this!

My drum teacher who has been a pro drummer for 50 years told me that i should find the spot im comfortable at but increase it when im specifically practicing kick excersises because it builds muscle because its harder to press.

[sykrosis]

I love your videos dude. And youre a killer drummer. 🤘

[justindlc]

This solved my problem. My drum head was loose at home and when I went to practice on a friend’s kit, his drum head was super tight. So I couldn’t do fast doubles anymore because the rebound was crazy. Just loosened my spring tension and I should be good! Thank you!!!

[kennethadams]

Thank you! I’ve been looking for a good method for finding the sweet spot for spring tension!!👏👏👏

[dillongorman]

This is amazing!!! I've never heard anyone break it down like this!! Thank you!!

[GrooveisKing]

This is one of the best ways to explain how to get the proper tension. I love it. Ty

[ograin]

Good advice. George Kollias also stated that he sets his spring tension so that he can rest his foot on the pedal and the beater stays just off the head.

[bluuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

thank you! as a beginner i really need more niche tips like these!

[mitchell]

Outstanding video and thank you! You would think that every bass pedal manufacturer would have this on their website and in the instruction manual.

[loreleij]

Incredible!! Thank you for making this, that makes so much sense.

[Nobleheir]

I really needed this. Have been trying to play quick strokes and found the pedal being too loose. Thanks!
