Coda Bass Pedal - Double Spring

The Coda brand produces several models of bass drum pedals, often categorized by series (e.g., 200 and 300 series). A common feature on many of their pedals, especially the double pedals, is a dual spring adjustment system. This design is intended to offer players a more customizable and responsive feel.

Here's a breakdown of the typical features associated with Coda's "double spring" bass pedals:

Core Concept:

• Dual Spring Adjustment: Instead of a single spring on one side of the pedal's cam, these pedals feature two springs, often one on each side. This allows drummers to fine-tune the tension more precisely. By adjusting the tension on each spring individually, a player can control the speed and rebound of the beater, tailoring the pedal's response to their specific playing style and technique. This is particularly useful for achieving a consistent feel, especially on a double bass pedal where one might want to match the response of the slave pedal to the master.

Common Features of Coda Double Pedals:

• Chain Drive System: Coda pedals typically utilize a chain drive, which is a standard and robust system known for its durability and smooth operation.

• Beaters: The pedals often come with felt beaters. Some models, like the DH-308-D, feature a "hardened felt beater."

• Sturdy Construction: Coda hardware, including their pedals, is generally made from chrome-plated steel. This provides a strong, durable build that is designed to withstand a lot of use.

• Adjustability: In addition to the dual spring adjustment, these pedals often have quick-release latches and other adjustments to make setting the pedal up easy. This includes beater angle and pedal height.

• Double Bass Pedal Design: On a double bass pedal, the dual spring adjustment is often found on the master (right) pedal, with a single spring on the slave (left) pedal.
