Members Fafnir777 Posted September 13, 2003 Members Share Posted September 13, 2003 Take the pedal off of the drum, and look underneath the two upright posts. There are two screws that work with a slotted screwdriver. Those adjust the pedals tension. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Old Steve Posted September 15, 2003 Members Share Posted September 15, 2003 Gee, it's a design that's about 50 years old, and it doesn't have 600 adjustments like all of the new Tama, Pearl and DW pedals.... Let's see how this week's Iron Cobra's design is holding up in 2050. The Speed King is the VW Beetle of the drum world....basic design that gets the job done, and as a result has stood the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members techristian Posted September 16, 2003 Members Share Posted September 16, 2003 I have 2 of them and I love them. I recently bought a used on on Ebay. The tension was too weak and it squeeked terrible. Those 2 screws on the bottom were almost seized on. After I removed them I poured USED MOBIL 1 into the 2 chambers to lubricate the springs and then tighted them up all the way! Then I brushed oil on the other moving parts such as the pivot points. You can see me using this pedal HERE . The Ebay pedal is being used by my left foot. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
