I think mine is just worn out. It makes a lot of clicking noises when I play it. If I let it go like you do in the video it's absolutely silent. But when i play with my foot it makes awful clicking noises like there's play in the board bearings or something too. I can't find any maintenance kits with new bearings or anything.

Crazy. Those two screws are probably legit the only thing I haven’t tried adjusting, lubricating or modifying. Something has felt off with my pedal for a while and I still wasn’t satisfied with how they felt after putting in close to 10 hours of work on them. Much appreciated for this, I hope this is the missing piece to the puzzle!!!

WOW! I'm in the same boat and made so many adjustments to figure out why my second pedal was laggy. Like it wasn't bouncy and responsive compared to the other demon drive pedal. It would lock up after a few bounces. Now I can relax and de stress. Thank you so much bro! May the drumming Gods bless you!

I wastn able to remove the screws :(

Lifesaver. Mines been locked up since I bought.

Thanks! I had same problem. They were sent back to pearl and they sent me new pedals . I have two singles. One was perfect , the other had this problem. After watching your video, I did the adjustments, and now working perfectly!!!! Thank you

i have this issu thanks so much ♥

Holy shit... this might change my life

So? How does that effect the playing.

It's insane to notice that in a 25k comments, I haven't seen any reply on mention from Pearl. Pitty! I was about to buy these, I'm just too concerned at this point.

There is another bearing at the bottom of the drive. Unscrew the allen bolt and remove the metal washer. Then you can line it up so it wouldn't be crooked. Tighten everything back up and it'll move like the left one.🙌🏾💪🏾

I have the same problem. Now that you've shown what the issue is, now i cant find the allen wrench that came with it🤦🏾‍♂️...

I get mine for second then even just changing the spring tension causes my main pedal to go completely out of alignment.

Was feeling pretty defeated with my demon drive. This improved it drastically. Thanks for posting this. You’re a hero.

That few seconds of a jet landing was fire! Nice job, brother!!

Hey guys! I love the camaraderie we’ve built in the comments! Us drummers gotta have eachother backs! Going to selfishly use this time to promote my new record! Check out the page for updates! Just posted the first single, full album coming in a few more weeks! Rock on! 🤘

I tried mine wouldn't align easily think the company could do a better job designing the pedal.

These pedals are cheap garbage. The Tama Dyna syncs are waaaay better

Wow! I'm having the same problem with my NEW Pearl DEMON XR The right Pedal is hard as hell to push. I can't seem to get a double out. it feels like something is wrong with it. I'll try your method.

These are well out of my price range, but I'm sure this can be applied to other pedals. Thanks.

Just got the Double pedal Demon Drive and had the exact same issue with the slave pedal assembly. Tried all the settings and gigged 2x struggling with it until I came across your video. Thank you so much for the video and the fix!! I adjusted the linkage in just a little and boom it’s perfect now! I let my rep at Sweetwater know about the fix too. Thanks again!!! Also I actually gave a little heat to the set screws with my soldering iron prior to loosening the screws. Made it easier!

Holy crap this was my problem EXACTLY. Tried oiling and messing with the spring tension, did not help. Both beaters insanely stiff. For a second I thought I had to break it in or something. THANK YOU!

I love you man! I’ve had my pedals for 4 years now and after adjusting that link they work better than the day I bought them! 😅

I haven't checked your resolution yet, but there's an issue with my pedal after converting to the long board setting. Left one is great (using a double pedal). Right one stops dead after 1 or 2 bounces. To me it sounds like there's friction in the base of the pedal and kept thinking something's wrong with the alignment of the screws I had to move to convert it. Does anyone have any idea or ran into this as well?

DUDE YOUR A LIFE SAVER!! I was about to buy a new drum shaft or even a new pedal and you just fixed it thank you so much

You've come a long way. Good job.

What a wonderful version of this song !! Great work at to start of the Christmas season.

Thanks from Brasil!

I got new ones about a year ago & they were sloppier [out of the box] than ones I replaced. And to this day I haven't been able to figure out where the problem is

Thank you! Pearl company needs to see your video, and include your directions in the owner's manual.

Yup mine too what i did is loosen the two screws and while loose tap the pedal the shaft will move straigt to where is supposed to be by it self the tighten and go play fast

Thank you. I couldn’t get mine loose. I needed to use pliers to turn the key and there was a loud crack due to how tight they were

Thank god i found this vid

Just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the Demon Drive linkage tip in your other video. The comments were turned off so I just had to find a way to tell you how much that helped me out. It was driving me crazy and I had already replaced the drive shaft bearings and the drag was still there. I found your video and boom... super expensive pedal fixed. Thanks so much man... one video can make a world of difference. I hope you're doing great and YOU NEED to post more videos, it's been years Bro. Haha!

Now for the death metal song.

Hey man! I just saw your demon drive video. May I ask What tool did you use to take the pedal apart and fix it? Thank you

Great sound

This song is rockin
