problem with bass drum beater (i think)

[Candicechew]

Hi everyone!

I'm not a professional drummer, but I had a drum kit few months back. I don't know what do i call it, but is it the beater of the bass drum pedal? Everytime when it hits on the bass drum, it vibrates and it gives me like double/triple hits which i do not want. The way that I play on this drum kit, was the same for all kits that i have tried before. And there isn't any vibration or what on the bass drum. HOw do i solve this problem??? would really appreciate all help!

i have the same prob with one of my pedals...i m using a double pedal....so one is ok...

have been trying to figure out what's the cause..but still can't get it...

its not the beater i guess...cause i tried switching the beater but doesnt solve the problem...

Try cutting a mic-hole on your bass drum resonant head(the other side which your beat is not hitting)

Perhaps the batter bass drum head is tuned rather high (therefore, a tighter tension) and it causes more rebound on the head as the beater hits the head? You could try loosening your batter head and play again and see if it solves the problem.
Perhaps it's your footwork somehow that causes the after-hit too. Not really sure what exactly is the problem but that's all I can think of.

Hope this in any way, helps!
