I'm cleaning up my old pedals and found this video super helpful. For future reference, the bearings used in these pedals are also used in skateboards, so you can pick up replacement bearings from any skate store that might be near you
Great tip. Keep jammin’ and rippin’. Thanks for watching!!
This is incorrect.
The bearings used in the pedal are R6Z, 3/8" inch bore with 7/8" outer rim, 9/32" width.
Standard skate bearings are metric, 8 mm. They are close in size, but not compatible unfortunately.
@@ToddJeffreys good call out! I had only heard this from someone who said they did this themself.
@@seanybabyy No, the bearings are R6zz and 626zz, Bones reds skateboard bearings are used in iron cobra pedals making them superior to DW. Dw uses standard poorly mass produced China products and claim they are made in the in California.
The clip that you omitted from reinstalling on your baseplate is to hold the drum key that came with the pedal, FYI.
You’re right. Nice. I don’t need that thing. I’m not a traveling drummer. Thanks for watching!!
@@jebusgabagool7902 He said the same thing to me. Although I have no idea what tuning a head or adjusting you pedal has to do with being a traveling drummer. 🤷🏻
Great vid! Thanks! Try Wrights copper cream for cymbal cleaning! Works great!
Awesome. Thanks for the tip. Check out the video where I break my kit down and clean them up. Also have a Cymbal cleaning video coming soon. Thanks for watching!!
7:40 you don’t actually need a book to convert fractional measurements into decimal. Just use a calculator. Type in the top number, then hit the division button and then the bottom number. Works like a charm. Yes. I was shocked when I learned this too!
Example 1/2” = .5 (1 divided by 2 = .5)
Works every time.
3/8 = .375
Boom.
No engineering book needed.
You’re right, and I know. Thanks for watching.
There's a slight "click" in your pedal that I hear (it's slight but there). I had the same issue with mine and it was the rocker bearings that the springs ride on. Had to order them directly from dw. Just something I heard in your video and hope this helps. Rock on my brother!
I know it does. You’re right. I’ve just decided to live with it. I would love to try a different pedal sometime just haven’t been able to justify it yet. I’ll keep rockin’. You too bro. Thanks for watching!!
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse That's a great pedal you have! Here's the bearing info if your interested? (DWSP016 - Rocker hub for 3000/5000/7000 pedals) God Bless you my friend!
Awesome video, can you please sent the link that you bought the bearings on Amazon thank you 🤟🏽😎
Dude, I can’t find that exact link. Here’s what I found out afterward, I could have gotten them at ACE Hardware. Check there first, our at your local hardware. They are a pretty common small bearing. Good luck brother. Rock on!!!
that left side has some rebound issues looking at it stopping so soon. I have the same pedal. Left keeps moving on it's own more. And COVER that kit at least.
It feels ok though. I’ve actually adjusted the right pedal to feel more like the left. I like the length of travel, it’s all about feel and it feels fine. Yeah, I plan to do a video of tearing my kit down and cleaning it. Thanks for watching.
how did you remove the nut that holds the bearings on the left pedal? I'm having a hard time trying
It’s been a minute since I did that, but I think you can use a Cresent wrench in the rod that carries the heater and then just use a socket to get in to the nut. I think I took a socket and ground it down a little so it would fit.
Hey. It is much easier :D just loosen the holder for the drumbeater and then push the cogwheel towards the nut. You will get the nut moved outside. Before that, you have to loosen the small grub screws on both sides where the bearings sit. If that makes any sense.
@@GabyGuinezPH there’s a small retaining ring holding it. Look closely it’s small.
New heads my brother.
I actually just posted a video breaking my kit down to clean and put on new heads. 😀
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse fresh heads are always very satisfying. Lol
How did you remove the pre-load nut? Did you use a thin walled socket?
Sort of. I took an old deep well socket and ground it down on the sides to fit in there.
Hey bro! Thanks for your video. What's the size of the Allen wrench you used? Thank you.
Hey man I'm having issues with my dw 5000, the left pedal has lost its tension
Are all the set screws tight? I would start with checking all of those, especially the spring rocker. It took me some time to get that adjusted back to where it was comfortable because I didn't mark it before I took it apart. Also, there is an adjustment screw at the bottom of the spring that will add tension to the spring, if this turns loose, that can also give you some problems with rebound and tension. Let me know how that goes and if there is anything else I can help with. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Pear demon drives use the skateboard bearings
Do you remember the hex key sizes for adjusting parts that have hex screws ? trying to find a chart to purchase the right size keys . thanks
My friend, I don’t remember the sizes. They weren’t uncommon sizes. I also don’t remember if they were standard or metric. I really wish I could be more help on that. A few bucks will get you a set of each and those should work. My apologies.
Dude I think your kick heads are facing the wrong way lol
Haha. Nope. That’s why DW makes them that way. You can use them either way for a different sound and feel. Thanks for watching!!
Their a waste of money. Like everything Drum Workshop. Your paying for the brand name. The bearings are 626zz, “That little clip” Goes on your plate it is a drum key holder.
Eh……. I’ve had that pedal for 10+ years. I’m good for it. The only reason to use “That little clip” would be if I were traveling and in a band. I’m a garage rockstar bro. Also. I think you mean they’re and you’re. Not judgin’, just sayin’. Thanks for watching.
@@4AcresandaFarmhouse it’s actually pretty handy if you can’t keep track of a drum key. Need to tune up your snare or head, keys always right there under your foot.
PROBLEM WITH VIDEO? I don’t wanna see you fast forward and clean yours I WANNA SEE YOU DESCRIBE FOR BEGINNERS THE STEPS YOUR DOING.
I have thought the same thing. I’m going to do a break down of my drums. I’ll slow it down. Sorry yo. How does that sound?
