No amount of Googling and thread searching seems to reveal anything about this problem, so I'm wondering if I'm crazy. There is no shortage of complaints about wobbling and lack of stability, and I think most of these problems may be related to vertical alignment between the pedal and the pad mounting plate.
I use DW 9000 pedals mounted to a Roland KD-9 bass drum pad. The KD-9 when sitting at rest must be pushed back a few inches for the vertical bars to be parallel with the wall. This would be fine and well, except at this point, the mounting plate is about 1/2 inch higher than the bottom of the pedal mounting plate. An obvious attempt at solving the problem would be to start stuffing random things into the gap to snug it up, but that seems like a crappy approach and prone to a different set of problems.
Has anyone taken the base plate off of the KD-9 to see if the core bass plate structure can be adjusted somehow? The manual (http://roland.com/support/article/?q...-9&id=61922134) says nothing more than "hook it up and go".
Am I alone with this?
