Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I'm having a problem with my dw5000 pedal slowly working its way off of the bass drum hoop. After about three songs into a set, the pedal separates from the hoop. This happens with my vistalite kick and my older gretsch kick. If I tighten the hoop clamp on the pedal down extremely hard, the torque lifts the kick drum and the beater side of the pedal up in the air. When the beater returns after a hit, the bass drum bounces along with the pedal which causes the pedal to slowly work its way free from the hoop. If I don't clamp the pedal down quite as hard, the effect isn't as bad, but the pedal still works its way loose. The pedal never slides away from me because of the velcro on the bottom of the pedal, but the subsequent hits after the kick falls out of the pedal causes the kick to slide away. I have two different dw5000 pedals and both have the same result with both drums. Is there a setting on the pedal that I can adjust? Any constructive ideas are greatly appreciated.
thanks,
-jeremy
