What kick pedals do you use? / How tight are the springs? |

I use DW5000 pedals. The spring tension on my pedals is set up very tight. I adjust my footboards so that they are very low and they almost make contact with the footplate when the beater strikes the bass drum head. I've changed my technique over the last couple of years and now my toes are usually at the very front of the pedals. I've also recently incorporated doubles strokes into my playing, RRLLRRLLRRLL etc... To more easily perform the double strokes I've shortened the throw of the beaters. When the pedals are stationary the beaters are 4" away from the bass drum head.
