Hi, all.
I recently (January 2019) started playing drums. At that time I bought an Tama Iron Cobra 600 new. I didn't have much experience with pedals, so everything seem normal to me, even though I thought that pedal was too noisy.
After couple of months playing with some studio pedals, teacher's pedal and etc, I figured out my pedal is way noisier than the other ones. I believe the footboard side to side movement is the one responsible for this noise. It moves quite a lot for my personal taste.
I tried to disassemble it to try to adjust it, but the screws were so tight I believe I stripped two screws heads, so I decided to stop.
I don't have much experience, so my comparison is based on limited knowledge.
Is the side to side movement something considered ok in a pedal? If not, is this something eligible for warranty?
