The Korena take

Replacement bass drum pedal spring with a felt insert, for drummers restoring feel to a worn DW pedal or quieting spring noise.

Product studyDW Pedal Spring With Felt Insert

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a stretched or broken spring on a DW bass drum pedal
  • Killing spring squeak or rattle picked up by close mics
  • Keeping a spare in the stick bag for gig-night failures

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers whose pedal problem is the beater or footboard, not the spring
  • Non-DW pedals where the spring length and mount differ
  • Anyone wanting to change pedal feel through beater angle instead

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Felt insert inside the spring

Damps the metallic ring and rattle a bare spring makes. Useful under close mics or in quiet rooms.

Detail 02

It is a consumable part

Springs stretch with use and lose tension. Feel drifts slowly, so a swap can restore the pedal's original response.

Detail 03

DW-specific

Made for DW pedal geometry. Length and end fittings on other brands' pedals often will not match.

Detail 04

Single spring

Double pedals use two. If you want matched tension across both sides, buy a pair and swap together.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01One spring per package. Double-pedal owners replacing both need two.
  2. 02Confirm your DW pedal model; spring specs vary across the pedal line.
  3. 03You will need to reset spring tension after installing to get your feel back.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit my non-DW pedal?

It is made for DW pedals. Other brands use different spring lengths and end fittings, so fit is not reliable.

02What does the felt insert do?

It sits inside the spring and damps the ringing and rattle a bare spring makes when the pedal cycles. Mostly a noise fix.

03How do I know my spring needs replacing?

A spring that has stretched will not return the beater as fast, and tension adjustments stop having much effect. Visible kinks or a snapped coil are obvious.

04Do I get one or two?

One. A double pedal takes two, and replacing both at once keeps the tension matched between the primary and slave sides.
