Members boxofrocks Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Mines got the blue cam, spring bout 50% tight, heel plate pushed up, it's a double, both set the same, but I only use half of it. Never use double, also the factory beaters need weights IMO.I miss my speed king... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thomas G Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I use the red cam, reeeeeeeal loose, no toe-guard, and the footboard all the way back . I absolutely love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members D Carroll Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Well, I guess I will list the rest of it: Chain for now (might change to a strap soon) board set a little above medium, spring is all the way loose, and the toe guard is off, I can heel-toe better with my foot all the way up. The beater is one of the following: My rubber band beater (Thanks cearleywine for the idea!) or an older DW half wood, half felt, on the felt part. I need to get another felt beater soon though... footboard way the {censored} back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pearl Player Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Blue Cams, Medium Tension, Horz. Curved Felt Beaters, Footboards all the way back, Mid Chain Setting. I do something a bit different than the stock setup. My main kit is a double kick so I bought one Single eliminator and the double setup. That way I have 2 singles for the big kit and a double for the smaller single kick kit. Then I bought the beater holder and an extra spring setup. I run the Slave pedal with an extra spring on the slave pedal and run each spring set to half the normal tension. This setup takes a bit of the stress off of the universals. I also have the 2000 series hat stand with the same settings. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cearleywine Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 My rubber band beater (Thanks cearleywine for the idea!) . Nice to see that it's holding up for you. I may try it some day. I bought a DW large round felt beater for my DW5000 about a month ago. Really liking the dynamics I get with this, great for my jazz group while still being able to push the rocking blues group I started playing with. I tried a generic round felt one and it was {censored}, I've found you need a solid weighted beater on that solid of a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marko46 Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Fairly tight tension, Blue Cams, Belt, Beaters are 3"-4" from the batter, footboard angle is medium. Hate the eliminator beaters. Replaced them with DW SM 105 Hardcore adjustables. I can really control the attack with them and I like the weight.

Members Zeromus-X Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Springs as loose as they'll go, all the way back, red cam, Pearl 4-way beaters set to one of the plastic ones (does it really make a difference, even though they each curve a different way?), removed the toe stopper. I don't understand all these guys who tighten the springs as tight as they'll go. Even when I'm playing heel-toe there's not a problem with speed, and for most gigs I'm just playing three 1-hour sets of covers... I want those beaters to hit the drum with as little force as possible. I'm worn out enough at the end of the night already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
