Good explanation thanks

[@KamalBensra]

Thank you so much for the video. It's very helpful. I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I play heel up and I bury my beater. When my spring is tight, my pedal sometimes makes unwanted hits when I bury the beater. I hope you know what I mean. I hit the bass drum, and then because the tension is high, the pedal has an extra unwanted hit. How do I avoid that?

[@SteveHowardDrums]

Thank you, I bury the beater into head also. Your spring shouldn’t be tight though as you end up fighting with the spring. Try making it quite loose.

@@SteveHowardDrums Alright, thank you for your reply! =)

I'm somewhat new to drumming! Got a used kit for my birthday my pedal only came with one tension nut! Is it easy to add another one? The one I have is connected to the bottom it doesn't have a top one!

[@SteveHowardDrums]

The nut should be at the bottom of the spring. Kinda hard to help without seeing it

twenty lip smacks later i had to leave

Dude, have you even looked at where that beater of yours hits the skin?! It's definitely nowhere near the middle, let alone under. It's way above bro. Just freaking look for God's sake. Unless maybe you have a 30 inch kick or something

[@SteveHowardDrums]

Why does it have to be near the middle?

[@JeremyBazinaw]

stop smacking your lips
