It didn't come with any paperwork? Otherwise I'd use a key and start messing around with the angles, tensions, and heights. It's pretty easy if you experiment.

Hello Co- lefty! Relax, take a deep breath, and slowly start messing with it. One adjustment at a time.Get the beater angle and the spring tension adjustments the way you want them.. worry about the rest later. The beater angle has a notch in the hardware to indicate the ideal position, if you like. The cams come on and off in seconds, so worry about those last.Same for the footboard.

Its a highly adjustable pedal, but also very good as is.. so take your time and dont sweat it. Its not rocket science, n you'll get it soon enough.

good luck

You've got a great pedal, I have the same one (just a single :-( ) and I think the blue cam is most comfy, I've tried the red one for some time but it's very 'explosive', and the white one is way too smooth, so the blue is the middle road, and that's often a good thing.

Have a great time learning to play double kick and getting to know your pedal ;-)

thanks for the advice. what kind of stuff should i learn or practise to get the hnag of it. cause atm my strokes ar uneven as heck! lol

just a question should both the beaters be set at exactly the same level? like, on the pedals in the shops on beater is slightly more fordward than the other. im not talking about the beater hitting in the centre on not but wether 1 beater should be slightly closer to the head than the other.
