Supercharge Your Bass Drum Pedal | Season Four, Episode 2

We’ve tried all sorts of bass drum pedals over the years, many of which boasted innovative designs and hyper-smooth action with a price tag to match. In the end, so much can be accomplished by modding a bass drum pedal that costs less than $100 (and can often be found for a fraction of that). We’ll break down four of the most important changes that we make, all of which cost less than $25.

• The pedal we used here is the Yamaha FP7210A

• Bearing: DW DWSP016 Rocker Hub for 5000 Series Pedals
