My pedal won't stay in place. The back (heel) of the pedal will start shifting to the left after a song or 2 of heavy playing. I have a bd anchor, I have the spikes out on the bd legs, and the spikes on my pedal and it is still moving. I cant figure it out and its driving me nuts... any suggestions?? I use Accutune hoops because they're awesome. Here's some pics:
I know the bass drum looks tilted in this pic, but I can assure you it is perfectly level, I just put on the Faalam patches crooked because I'm an idiot.
Here's where the pedal is when its in the correct position
And here's what happens after playing for a few songs
See how the heel has moved? I've tried tightening the pedal clamp, I tried putting a rubber gasket where the pedal clamps onto the hoop and Gorilla Taping it on the hoop, I do have a bass drum anchor and all the spikes are out on the bd and pedal and the pedal still moves.
NOTE:
My bass drum pedals are pretty far forward, meaning that my shin is not at a right angle to my thigh when I play. Do you think the slight "pushing forward" motion is making the pedal slide out of position? I also dont have the pedal lined up exactly where my whole foot rests on it. The pedal is pointed a little more outward than my foot.
