Pearl Eliminator thread
« on: September 04, 2006, 10:27:34 PM »
i owned a pearl eliminator pedal na nabili ko sa isang handog sale yata. the problem is, since nung nabili ko ito d ko maenjoy.. d siguro ako marunong gumamit.. i tried the different colors na pinapalit palitan. inadjust adjust ko na rin pero d talaga ako comfortable..
mas nagustuhan ko pa yung simpleng simple na pedal ng isang lumang Pearl export na nabili nung 1995. at yung naging pedal ko noon na Gibraltar eh lalo ko pang nagustuhan. kahit nga yung d ko masyadong nagustuhang pedal ng sonor force 2003 eh mas maganda pa feel kesa dun.

wala lang.. i dont know what to do eh.. :(

Alam mo ba yung hinahanap mong feel ??

Baka hindi ka lang sanay sa Eliminator.. Ako naman, Hindi ako sanay sa Iron Cobra. Hindi ko tlga makuha sa feel na gusto ko.. its too.. heavy, parang draggy.

yung eliminator ko naman, i liked it kasi ang gaang ng footboard. parang ang bilis masyado. I use the Red Cams, Then Tightest Possible setting sa Springs. And I use a Belt Drive.. Maybe that's why

i'm not really sure kung alam ko yung hinahanap kong feel. :D  o baka d ko lang madescribe. all i know is d ko magustuhan yung mga adjustments na nagawa ko. hirap akong gawin ung mga nagagawa ko sa ibang pedals. parang magaan yung eliminator na hindi maintindihan. although inadjust adjust ko na. & 4 other (non-pro) drummers share the same thought.

siguro i could try your settings. thanks bro.:)

I own and play a Pearl Eliminator double bass drum pedal.  I bought mine last summer.  It took me a month, more or less, to get adjusted to its feel and settings, after being a Tama Iron Cobra user for 3 years.  

Simply devote some quality time with your pedal.  Learn and understand its features.  Get to know your instrument more.  Experiment.  Adjust it to your advantage.  Eventually, you'll be able to get the pedal settings which will work well with your footwork style.

Pearl Eliminator double pedals din gamit ko ngayon.. experiment ka lang bro dyan!  Napakaraming adjustments ang pwede sa eliminator pedals.  Wala pa ako binabago sa adjustments hanggang ngayon dahil nagustuhan ko yung feel ng pedal ko sa simula pa lang (from the box).  Wala pa ako time mag-experiment pero gagawin ko yun in the future..  Sa ngayon, nag-eenjoy ako practicing with it!

Have fun, experiment, enjoy!

Saang pedal ka ba galing dati? Ako galing sa stock ng fernando. Kakabili ko lang din ng eliminator (single) wala pang 1 week :lol:

Try mo muna dun sa black na cam. Sanayin mo muna paa mo dun kasi dun palang magaang na eh. Masasanay ka din dun. Tapos pag sanay ka na try mo na yung red. Swabe yun!

Ako rin nanibago bigla nung unang gamit ko nyan. Pero mga after 30 mins of playing ok na!  :D . Ang sarap pa mag heel-toe jan!  :D  Ayos!

yeah.
i mean, ultimately, if you're not happy kahit ano pang mamahalin na pedals yan, wala ring kuwenta diba?

i own the same pedals as yours and i find with it's almost infinite possibilities, mahahanap mo talaga ang tamang feel para sa yo.

pero again, if you're not happy, why not sell it and try mo naman yung ibang brands? malay mo makuha mo na yung feel na gusto mo sa iba.

Pearl Eliminator Help Needed
« Reply #14 on: November 28, 2006, 10:27:36 PM »
Recently, napansin ko na me squeak na sa chain at spring yung pearl eliminator ko. Slightly used lang to...actually, sa practice pad ko usually ginagamit. When I looked closely, napansin ko na medyo off center yung cam assembly (yung metal part kung san kinakabit yung colored cams) - hindi aligned sa footboard. Bec of this, medyo naka slant yung chain. I guess ito yung reason sa squeak. sinubukan ko galawin yung cam assembly, tinanggal ko yung 2 hex screws na nakakabit, pero ayaw gumalaw. Tried pushing it down using the butt of a screwdriver pati yung butt ng drumstick pero ayaw pa din. Hindi din nagwiwiggle. Meron ba talagang adhesive na nilalagay para hindi basta basta lumuwag to? Even tried using the pedal na wala yung hex screws pero hindi talaga nagbubudge. Yung ginawa kong workaround sinet ko na slightly slanted din yung footboard para ma-align sa cam. Pero medyo off center na din yung tip ng footboard. Do you have suggestions on how to loosen the cam assembly? Was able to move the beater assembly without any problem. ok naman yung feel pero yung kinakatakot ko lang baka meron effect to pagtagal. Sir JP, thanks for the offer to help...kaya lang medyo walang time pa makadaan sa yupangco. Alanganin kasi schedule ko sa work. Subukan ko muna ayusin sa end ko. Sana good pa yung offer pag me time na makadaan   :-) sa mga nakakaalam kung pano ayusin, patulong please. Salamat sirs

jckazs: i think kaya hindi naka align is because of the footboard. :-D usually kasi kapag nag adjust ka from the settings of the footboard(light,med and hard?) nagagalaw ng konti yun pa side. just make sure naka align to before mo higpitan.  ps. yung squeek baka sa cam yun usually sa red dahil medyo namomove to compared sa iba. try mo lagyan ng lube yun likod ng cam. hehe not sure about this but it worked for me. sana nakatulong! happy drumming! :mrgreen:

Yun din yung ginawa ko as workaround. pero yung footboard yung medyo nakaslant ng konti. pero subukan ko lagyan ng lube yung cam. baka nga yun din yung tumutunog  :-)  salamat sa advice sir!
