Stroke Adjustment

The stroke adjustment can be used to vary the distance the beater travels before hitting the drum. For a slightly heavier (longer) stroke move the screw towards the back, for a lighter (shorter) stroke move the screw forward.

Beater Height

The length of the beater shaft can be adjusted to achieve the desired feel and impact area. The beater should hit the center or an area 1-2 inches above the center of the drum. Once the desired height is achieved, secure the beater shaft by tightening the beater hub key screw.

Beater Playing Surface

The standard Two-Way Beater has both a curved, medium felt side for a warmer attack and a flat, hard plastic side for a brighter attack, much like wood, but without the weight.

Spring Tension

DW drum pedal springs feature an internal noise reduction damper as well as a tension locking mechanism. To increase or decrease the spring tension, loosen the round knurled nut at the base of the spring assembly and pull down on the spring to release the locking hex nut. Tighten or loosen the lock nut to create the desired tension, then release the hex nut and retighten the knurled nut to lock in the adjustment.

Hoop Clamp

The DW Toe Clamp is designed to fit a wide variety of manufacturers’ bass drum hoops. Position the pedal on the center of the hoop and tighten the side key screw securely. Use the provided rubber hoop protector to avoid damage to the bass drum hoop.

Non-Skid Spurs and Velcro

All DW Bass Drum Pedals include built in adjustable spurs and non-skid Velcro on the bottom of the pedals to prevent bass drum crawl.

Chain Position & Footboard Angle Adjustment

The length of the chain determines the angle of the footboard and, when adjusted in combination with the beater height and stroke adjustment, the length of the stroke. To change the position of the chain, carefully remove the master link connector from the chain and sprocket and reposition it as directed by moving it to an alternate hole in the sprocket. The factory settings are recommended for most general playing situations and preferred by many drummers.

Attaching and adjusting the linkage assembly

(Double Pedals)Use the provided drum key or any standard drum key to secure the linkage to the primary pedal by tightening the key screw. Rotate the beater, casting and hex shaft on the auxiliary pedal to the correct playing position, attach the linkage and tighten the auxiliary side key screw. Loosen the set of key screws on the middle section of the linkage and adjust the length and angle of the linkage to the desired position, then retighten the key screws.
