i have the lowest of the gibralter double pedals. it is the "velocity" series. strap driven. it only has a base plate (or as gibralter says "rock stabilizer plate") on the slave pedal.
when i get going around....i think 170-180, the main pedal starts like.....fish tailing? and i has gotten to the point where my band has to stop playing just so i can fix my pedal back onto the bass drum. when i am playing around that speed, i can feel it moving and see it moving. once, practicing on my own, i was playing and one of the 2 prongs that holds it together came out. it is only the main pedal that does it, that is why i was thinking that maybe a base plate will solve this problem.
and when trying to implement the slide technique (i dont really do the slide part, my foot just goes up to the top of the foot board and bounces and does a quick double) the part where the heel plate is comes off the carpet and completely ruins my double. every time.
i can get some plate steel from my local tractor supply house that is a little bigger than the size of a base plate for real cheap. all i would have to do is drill the holes.
any opinions???
