Double bass question[views:2252][posts:19]____________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 2:09am - Bethlehem ""] Is there a secret part to keep the left kick pedal on my dw 7000 double bass pedal from moving....I have a shitload of velcro under it and I am on a drum rug. Someone help it is so fucking annoying |
| _____________________________ [Sep 27,2006 2:21am - ZJD ""] There should be spurs on it that will come out via screw. Find those. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 2:34am - Bethlehem ""] spurs like on the back of dog the bounty hunters boots. |

| __________________________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 10:29am - theaccurseddrummer nli ""] If the velcro isn't working, and the spurs don't keep your pedal from pushing forward, some drum companies manufacture a special plate to which you can attach both the slave pedal and your hi-hat stand, keeping them mounted together. That should keep the slave pedal from moving. |

| _____________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 10:53pm - anonymous ""] buy another bass drum |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 10:59pm - powerkok ""] DW9000's dont do that. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 11:05pm - Bethlehem ""] the 7000's are fine there is not much difference. |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 27,2006 11:11pm - powerkok ""] well....ya there is actually, not to be a dink, but the 9000's feature a shitload of 'better' components, like the free floating rotor, and infinite cam adjustment's, just to name a few. If you are playing on a wood floor(?) you could drill some stop screws in there, or a weight really does work wonders. If you mean it's doing this live, then I would say to build a floorplate with industrial grade velcro, that connects to something solid (bass drum, stand) |

Your bass drums should have spurs at the end of the leg for when you are on carpets. They should be out enought to catch in the carpet. If they do have spurs then set the bass drum legs forward as to resist your foot pushing the bass drum. This way the bass drum will hold your pedal on the rim. |

He's talking about the slave pedal. |

These pedals are great. I have the dbl and a single 9000 series. I bought these after i got a iron cobra and they didnt work for me. |
