The part I'm talking about is having the two beaters right next to the chain on the master pedal.

@neillbegay slacken the beater angle alan screw and slide the whole cam across. Its honestly not hard.

[neillbegay]

Yeah you say that but do you take the black cap off then slide it right?

[reddieseled]

i suppose

[reddieseled]

@reddieseled you just slacken the alan bolt and bump the whole cam accross. thats it.

@joeyjuniorjunior Nearly all bearings out there are sealed. However. they can and do dry out from time to time. Thin oil is a quick fix. The bearings in a pedal can have thin oil as there is no real load on them. If you get fed up or mess up the bearing, just buy some more ABEC rated ones from a store. Nearly every town has one. $10 tops.

@curtisthewignall I come from an Engineering background, dad was a mechanic, his dad was, his dad was a blacksmith. I love mechanics and stuff, and making things work better than expected. AMAZING how much difference the right lubricants make, thats why race teams make such a big deal about them. A lot of experimentation and common sense.

[joeyjuniorjunior]

@reddieseled arent bearing sealed now? and what bearing lube do you recommend?

[curtisthewignall]

Brilliant Video!

What is your history in drums? You clearly know what you are talking about. Are these all things you have been told or is just years of trial and error?

Thanks for posting!
