Pearl Double Bass Drum Pedal Restoration - 115 Subscriber Special!

This is a Pearl PowerPro TW-100 Double Bass Drum Pedal that I bought secondhand from a used music gear website here in Ireland.

The pedal was in terrible shape when i got it, rusted, neglected, abused and definitely not weather protected! That said, it was a really fun restoration, which had me recording almost 3 hours worth of footage! I cut down the process substantially for the video, but I like to think that I captured the essence of the project.

I hope that you gain some sort of insight into how you can apply these techniques to your own pedal, should you ever need to service or restore yours. Never shy away from battered old hardware, because you can make them like new again!

This is also a huge thank you to all of my subscribers! I can't believe there are 115 people who like my channel enough to want to subscribe. It means a lot, and so a special thank you goes out to them!

Thanks for the following resources for helping me pool parts for this pedal:
- Music maker, Dublin
-Inox.ie for all replacement screws and fasteners (and for being much cheaper than Pearl official replacement parts!)
-Alfa Bargains, Dublin 8 for helping me remove that stuck, stripped grub screw, and to the attendant who cut his finger helping me for free!
