I can't do it.
About 2 months ago, I was hitting 200 bpm sixteenth notes with my feet. I was using the $100 pacific double pedal. I was just starting to get serious about double bass. Well my sessions came in along with my eliminators. Now I can't play steady sixteenths at all with any speed. I don't know what it is, I use the flatfoot technique. It could be I'm still not use to the new double pedal or not use to the bass drum which is 4 inches deeper than my old one. I don't know what to do, I'm really frustrated. If anyone has any suggestions for me I'd appreciate it.... Thanks, Cory.

Ok if you are saying that your new pedals disable you from playing 200 bpm than maybe there not set up rite look at your old pedals and test em out then go to your new ones set you springs identical to the other pedal also new pedals are sometimes hard to get used to but it will happed. Good luck.

How long have you had them? It took me several weeks to get a feel for my new pedals, but I'm faster on them now than anything else.

I just switched cams, and now I feel stupid because the white one is the only one I didn't try in the beginning and now I can tell it is the one I should have been using the whole time. Thanks for the advice.

I find the Blue Cam works the best for Eliminators. But I had to dial down the tension in my springs so that they were incredibly loose. Then I could really get into it. I always wondered why other pedals, like the ones you play in music stores were so damn easy to play, but my own pedals weren't. Eliminators have HEAVY tension. But that's why they're so customizable

good pedals
Corndog,
I was asked to come up and play on a drumkit that I have never played on and it had those $100.00 pacific pedals you have or had and I tell you what I blazed them with no effort,They acual felt better than my Iron coba's which cost $250.00 when I bought them new.All in all that Pacific pedal gets high marks from me  . Do you still have the pedals? also the ex-drummer from soilwork plays Eliminator pedal and he swears by them.I use to take to him via e-mail.goodluck CD Denny
