Ok, I had a Dixon pedel with a really big foot board, and it was wicked, and what not, I learned how to do heel/toe technique down perfectly, and ever so quickly. Then I got a Dixon Double Pedel, the boards where thinner but just as long, and I got used to them in seconds, I got to heel/toe even on my left foot, not very well but good for just learning it.
Then I went to the music store, I used those double pedels for a year, and these nice pearl p-100TW double pedel caught my eye. I basically bought them, and traded in my dixon pedels. These pedels where nicer, felt more durable, they had plates on the bottom with rubber grip. I think the year on them is 2000. Not sure, maybe newer. It looks almost the same as the 2002 model, but I dont think it has the infinite adjustable thingy.
Anyway, I couldnt do heel/toe technique, and if I cannot do it on a pedel I always figured it was low tension because I have the tension on my dixons rather highish. And so I figured the springs where not as heavy as the dixon ones and they weren't, so I have the guy order up DW high Tension springs, and I strap them on, and when I do the heel/toe technique, it seems the beater does the quick back and forth motion, but it doesnt get to the skin, is their a way to adjust it so the beat his the skin when I do it? The beat is like 2 inches maybe from the skin when I do it. And I found these beaters hit my shin, annoying.
Is it because the foot boards are smaller?
Please help. Thank you.
