Beater Setting
Insert the Quad Beater into the Beater Holder Link with the
desired striking surface facing toward the bass drum head
and tighten the Key Bolt to set the Quad Beater at the
desired height ( Fig. 5 ). To retain the height setting and to
keep the Quad Beater from rotating while playing, loosen
the Allen Screw on the Beater Setting Stopper with the
provided Allen Wrench and slide the Beater Setting Stopper
into the notch of the Beater Holder Link ( Fig. 6 ).
Quad Beater
The Quad Beater has four striking
surfaces, each capable of producing
a different sound. Please refer to the
following chart to determine the
sound best suited to your playing
style ( Fig.4 ).
Beater Angle Adjustment
The Beater Angle can be adjusted by loosening the key bolt
on the Uni-Lock Beater Angle Cam and swinging the beater
to the desired angle. Re-tighten the key
bolt when the desired angle is achieved. A gauge is
provided on the side of the Uni-Lock Beater Angle Cam to
aid the setting process ( Fig. 7 ).

PowerShifter
The PowerShifter function allows you to change the feel and
action of the pedal by shifting the footboard toward or away
from the bass drum. To change the PowerShifter setting,
loosen the key bolt in the heel of the footboard and move
the footboard to the desired position: A, B or C. Re-tighten
the key bolt ( Fig. 10,11 ).
Spring Tension Adjustment
To increase the tension of the spring, loosen the
Upper Nut and tighten the
Lower Nut until the desired
tension is achieved. To
decrease the tension,
loosen the Lower Nut.
This adjustment assembly
employs a double nut
system to retain tension
settings. Before playing,
make sure that both nuts
are tight. ( Fig. 9 )
Footboard Angle Adjustment
The footboad angle is adjustable by loosening the Key Bolt
as shown ( Fig. 8 ) and sliding the Drive Connector of the
chain or belt to one of three positions and re-tightening the
key bolt.
Note:
Removing the beater first
facilitates easier footboard
angle adjustment. Changing
the footboard angle does not
change the beater angle.

Traction Plate and Traction Grip Adjustment
The Traction Plate is reversible to provide just the right
amount of grip at either the front or rear of the footboard.
The Traction Grip dots can be removed as needed to
custom tailor the amount of traction for your personal
playing style. For either adjustment, remove the four Allen
screws holding the Traction Plate with the included Allen
Wrench. The Traction Plate can then be reversed, the
Traction Grip dots removed and rearranged, or both. Note:
When reattaching the Traction Plate, finger-tighten the four
screws to prevent cross-threading then tighten the screws
securely. ( Fig. 12,13 )
Toe Stopper
The Toe Stopper prevents your foot from sliding into the
chain or belt while playing. If you prefer, it can be easily
removed by undoing the key bolt as shown in ( Fig. 14 ).

hoop between the Hoop Clamp and the bottom lip of the
pedal. Square the pedal then tighten the Wing Bolt to
secure the pedal to the bass drum. If the bass drum hoop
doesn't fit or if the heel of the pedal jumps up while playing,
loosen the Allen screw with the provided Allen wrench and
turn the Adjustment Knob to compensate. Securely tighten
the Allen screw when done. ( Fig. 15 )
