Congratulations on your new Rogers Dyno-Matic Pedal. The Dyno-Matic is
an extremely versatile bass drum pedal that offers seemingly endless options
in performance adjustments. This pedal is designed to suit a diverse variety
of player preferences, and also has the unique ability to adapt to a wide
range of different size drums. Featuring independently-adjustable compo-
nents like the Beater Cam, Spring Arm and Pedalboard/Axle positioning,
the Dyno-Matic gives the player control over several different dynamic
combinations at once. The Dyno-Matic is engineered throughout for ease of
operation - even the way the pedal attaches and releases from the drum is
just a simple flip of a lever.
First, let us introduce you to some of the key components of the Dyno-Matic
that feature important adjuster screws and control nuts you can use to tweak
your pedalʼs response and positioning. Donʼt be surprised if you find the
set-up out of the box to be just perfect the way it is - but with the Rogers
Dyno-Matic, youʼll know that you always have options to try something
completely different...

Pedal Set-up
Attaching the Pedal
In the box, your Dyno-Matic Pedal has been collapsed
for transport. It is easily adjusted for play using the
following procedure. Locate the Drum Key mounted in
the holder clip on the right side of the frame. Use the
Drum Key to loosen the Axle Position Screw as shown
above. Once loose, swivel the Spring Arm up to a
comfortable angle, where you can easily reach it from
your throne (the classic position shown at right, 55˚).
You will notice the Spring Arm, Beater and Pedal-
board move together once the Axle Position Screw is
released. Make sure to tighten the Axle Position
Screw securely, and return the Drum Key to its
holding clip on the pedal frame.
KEY
The Dyno-Matic attaches to a bass drum
hoop quickly & simply with the flip of the
Hoop Clamp lever. With the Hoop Clamp
open (lever down), insert the hoop fully
into the clamp area as shown. Raise the
lever all the way forward, until it snaps
against the stop (as shown below).
You can fine-tune how tightly
the Hoop Clamp holds the
hoop by adjusting the hoop
tongue adjuster screw, as
shown on the left.

Quick-Flip Dual Surface Beater
Without any tools, you can instantly change the Beater playing surface from the standard
felt side (muted tone), to the hard plastic side (crisp attack). Simply push down the spring
loaded beater head and rotate it to the desired playing surface, and it snaps into place,
ready to play.
Carpet Anchor Screws
The Dyno-Matic Pedal features a ribbed, rubber sole on the bottom of main pedal frame
for maximum grip on smooth surfaces. For playing on carpeted surfaces, adjustable
Anchor Screws are located on both sides of the pedal frame. Adjust with your fingers to
extend the Anchorsʼ pointed tips to “bite” into the carpet and prevent movement.
Adjustable Toe-Stop
The optional Toe-Stop for the pedalboard can be easily adjusted forward or back (or
removed) to suit the playerʼs preference. Using the Drum Key, loosen the set screw under-
neath the pedalboard to change position. Tighten securely once in position.

Top-mounted, Spring Adjuster Arm
Beater Position Adjustments
The Beater of the Dyno-Matic
Pedal can be positioned
independently - without affecting
the positions of the Pedalboard, the
Spring Arm, or the Axle height. The
forward, or backward angle of the
Beater Cam is adjusted by loosening
the Beater Angle Screw with the Drum
Key, as shown on the left. The
length of the Beater shaft can be
changed by loosening the
Beater Length Screw with
the Drum Key, as
shown on the right.
Be sure to tighten the
screws securely once
positioned.

The Dyno-Matic
features a modern
upgrade to one of
Rogerʼs original pedal
innovations - the
top-mounted Spring
Adjuster Arm. While
playing the pedal, you
can easily reach from
your playing position to
adjust the spring action
with one hand.
First loosen the Lock
Nut by turning clock-
wise. Then adjust the
Finger Nut to loosen,
or tighten the spring to
achieve the desired
ʻfeelʼ. Then, turn the
Lock Nut counter-clock-
wise to set the position.

What Size is Your Bass Drum?
Out of the box, the Dyno-Matic
is set at the lowest position, which
will easily suit bass drums 18” - 20“
(some may even prefer this setting
for 22”). The main axle assembly of
the Dyno-Matic is mounted on a single
vertical shaft, which is adjustable in
height to accommodate bass drum sizes
from 18” up to 30”. Because of the
independent control of the Pedalboard
position, the Beater Cam, and the Spring Arm,
a player can maintain the comfort of their same
familiar playing positions while also striking the
ʻsweet spotʼ of any size bass drum. See next
page (6) for the simple procedure to adjust
for different size bass drums.
Rogers created the idea of a pedal with a user-expandable height profile.
This unique design allows the user to raise the main axle assembly - placing the
Beater at the optimum striking position when used with any size bass drum.

For larger bass drums
22” - 30”, you can raise
the upper Axle Assembly as
desired to center the Beaterʼs
strike on the drumhead.
1. Loosen the vertical shaft
Wing Nut as shown.
2. Raise the Upper
Axle Assembly by the
chrome cylinder of
the body. Tighten the
Wing Nut securely at
the desired height.
3. With the Drum Key,
loosen the Axle Release
Screw as shown to return
the Pedalboard to your
preferred playing position,
then be sure to tighten the

(IMPORTANT).
4. Use the Drum Key to
loosen the Beater Angle

the Beater to your preferred
playing angle, then be sure
to tighten the Beater Angle
Screw securely.

Adjusting the ʻAttackʼ
The Dyno-Matic features an option for the player to add a faster
attack to the pedal response. With the Drum Key, loosen the set
screw in the surface of the heel plate (shown below). Slide the
pedalboard back, away from the frame. Only pull the pedal-
board back until the Beater starts to move, then tighten the screw
securely. Youʼll notice that the chain is now on an
angle, and the response will feel a bit ʻsnappierʼ
and faster when you play.
Performance Tip - The Importance of Alignment
Incorrect Correct
Incorrect Correct
Bad alignment of the Beater & Chain Cams can affect performance. After adjusting the
pedal components, view the axle straight-on to make sure the cams are aligned correctly.
The Beater Cam should be centered
on the knurled axle bushing.
The Chain Cam, Chain & Pedalboard
should all be in a straight line.
