Beater Stroke Adjustment
The P-3002C Demon Chain Double Pedal features Pearl's
patented two-position Beater Holder that can be positioned
closer or farther from the drum head for Finesse "A" Position
setting or Power "B" Position setting respectively.
It also rotates infinitely for perfect beater angle without
changing the footboard angle.
Changing the Beater Holder Position
To change to the Power setting, loosen the Key Bolt to open
the clamp and slide the Beater Holder to the Power setting
position (Fig.4-A, 4-B). There is no need to remove the Key
Bolt from the clamp.

You may need to rotate the Drive Shaft Assembly to bring the
footboard of the Slave Side (left) Pedal to the proper playing height
(angle) before attaching the Drive Shaft Joints (A) to both pedals.
If the Drive Shafts are extended too far, they will separate from the
Center Connecting Tube. Reassemble them with the dots aligned
as shown in Fig.15-B.
Connecting the Drive Shaft Assembly
Connect the ends of the Drive Shaft (A) to the short
extensions (B) on the Main and Slave Side Pedals and
tighten Key Bolt 1 and then Key Bolt 2 (Fig.13 ,14).
Loosen the Key Bolts on the Center Connecting Tube of the
Drive Shaft Assembly and adjust the distance between the
Main Pedal and the Slave Side Pedal to your liking.

Spherical Rubber Grips allowing the front of the bass drum
to be raised while keeping the pedal flush on the floor.
Insert the bass drum hoop into the Clamp, and turn the
Wing Bolt to secure.
The Clamp comes preset from the factory to accommodate
most bass drum hoops but if necessary it can be adjusted
to fit thicker or thinner hoops. Loosen the Allen Screw on the
Adjustment Knob with the provided Allen wrench (2.5mm)
as shown and tighten or loosen the Adjustment Knob until
proper fit is achieved then re-tighten the Allen Screw
(Fig.17). If the heel plate of the pedal lifts while playing, try

(Fig.25). NiNjA Oil is also ideal for use on the footboard
hinges to maintain "like-new" performance (Fig.26).
Check all Key Bolts and Allen Screws for tightness
before performances, and tighten them with the
provided Multi-Function Drum Key or Allen wrenches
as needed.
Optional Items (sold separately)
. Control Core Wood Beater (B-300W)
. Traction Rubber Grip (NP-283N/7)

Reverse the previous sequence
and attach the Spring Assembly,
Beater Holder Link and the
Beater to the Slave Side Pedal.
Change the position of the Key
Bolt as shown on the Uni-Lock
Footboard Angle Cam for easier
