Kick Pedal Bounce

2004-11-16 by rjbb2

Hello to everyone, I'm a newbie to this group and a new DTXpress IIIS
owner.  I've only had my set for about 3 days, so the tweaking has
just begun.  Overall, I'm really impressed with the sound.  Actually
impressed is an understatement!  It has blown me away!

My only problem so far, I seem the be getting some extra bounce on the
kick and pedal.  The beater wants to bounce on the kick creating an
extra (where I dont want it) beat.  It's not a double trigger.  I have
adjusted the beater angle, and spring tension but can not seem to
completely get rid of this extra bounce.  It could be simply related
to my playing style?  I've been thinking that maybe a piece of
stick-on felt attached to the kick rubber may help? But I hate to
start sticking things all over the place.  Anyone have any
suggestions?  or Anyone else experiencing this problem?
