Hi,
I've been playing regularly for 22 years now, for the past 19 years i've been using the same Premier XPK.
I do around 60 gigs a year ranging from 2x 45min sets to 3x 1 hour sets.
Over the past couple of months I've been getting pain in my left knee (kick drum - i'm a lefty), towards the end of gigs, also, i'm getting lower back pain after I stop playing for about a day after the gig.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
The knee pain is like a tightness from underneath/back of the knee.
I was wondering if it might be time to buy a new pedal, I use a premier strap driven pedal that's as old as the kit, its quite loose and I've always wondered if maybe the strap has stretched and is too long - i'm quite heavy footed and before this pedal I have broken many chains!
