I seem to break one of these every few months. I'm on my fourth one in the last 12 mo. Does this seem excessive? I'd say my tension is set somewhere between loose and medium.
Are there better springs that work well w/ these pedals? I've got a DW 5000 single pedal.
Sorry dude , I've played a 5000 for over 15 years and still on the original spring...
There might be a burr or sharp edge. Take the thing apart and check it. If you find a burr a small file should clean it right up.
HTH
Hmmm...tossed it in the trash already, sorry. I'm afraid all of the evidence is hearsay, at this point. To be fair, one of the broken springs was swiped from a DW 7000 pedal I had used for a year prior. It lasted a few months before giving up the ghost.
Hey I just got a DW 5000 double bass pedal and before i was using just a mapex pedal that that had a pretty high tension... the DW's seem to have almost no tension at all is there anyway someone can tell me how to adjust the spring for the max tension or any other adjustements i can do? thnx..
