Great video! My high school band has a set of Adams Gen 1 and 2 timpani. I notice a rattle coming from the gauge rod ball joint. When I press it, it doesn't rattle. Are there any fixes for this? And also, the pedal squeaks... yikess
Thanks! The most common rattles we see on Adams gauges are: 1) The indicator arm rubbing up against the indicator rail. You can simply loosen the arm and move it away from the indicator rail. 2) The ball joint that connects the gauge to the spider does not have enough lubrication. You can pop the ball out (remove the cotter pin if it has one) and add white lithium paste to the casing before putting the ball back in place. As for the pedal, some white lithium spray or silicone spray at the axle and any joints around the pedal should fix it. Happy drumming!
