I have used a lot of pedals in my life, and I do not like buying equipment again because of design flaws. I need a pedal that is made well and will not break. I am an engineer with mechanical and material science background.
If a steel screw is threaded into an aluminum part, eventually it will strip. The steel has a strength that is much higher than the aluminum. When designing a steel screw into an aluminum part, usually a steel insert is used so that the screw does not strip the aluminum. This is so basic that I am very surprised that I have this issue with pedals that I purchase.
I have a choice now of either taking my pedal parts to a machine shop and having them modified, or finding another pedal.
Does anyone know of a very durable set of bass drum pedals?
