I'm currently using a DW 5000 drum pedal, and the spring tension is around medium loose, I have my batter head about 2 full turns tuned and my resohead around medium-tight setting.
My bass drum pedal does feel light, but for some reason everytime I do 16th note grooves or fast 8th note grooves on the Hi hat, my feet/lower leg area feels weird and unstable when preforming the stroke making me feel loss of control to the pedal and makes me feel tense around the leg area. (I gets worse tightening the spring tension)
I've tried multiple drums sets and they feel a lot better and I dont have that sense of struggle and lack of control when playing those types of grooves.
Any tips? How can I make the pedal feel heavier without spring tension adjusting so that way I can control the bass drum better? Tuning perhaps if so how?
