Detail 01
Universal fitment
Designed to cover common pedal designs rather than one model, so it often works across brands. Still worth comparing to the old spring.

GibraltarSC-15F Universal Bass Drum Pedal Spring
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement tension spring for a bass drum pedal. Buy it when your pedal feels dead, uneven, or has lost a spring outright.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Reviving a pedal whose return feels slow or mushy
- Matching a double pedal after one spring stretches out
- Keeping a spare in the hardware case for gigs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting a different pedal feel rather than a repair
- Pedals with a proprietary spring shape or captive assembly
- Anyone whose problem is a worn cam, bearing or footboard
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 02
Tension spring
This is what pulls the beater back after each stroke. A tired spring shows up as a slow, lazy return rather than a broken pedal.
Detail 03
Single spring
One pedal's worth. A double pedal needs two, and mismatched springs make the two feet feel different.
Detail 04
Bare spring, no hardware
The hooks, rod and adjustment nut from your existing pedal get reused. Nothing here replaces those parts.
Detail 05
$8.99
Far cheaper than a new pedal, so it is worth trying before assuming the pedal itself is finished.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Compare length and coil thickness to your old spring before ordering
- 02Doesn't include the tension rod, hooks or adjustment nut
- 03Replace both springs on a double pedal so the feel stays even
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if my spring is worn out?
The beater returns slowly or unevenly, and tightening the tension no longer firms it up. A stretched spring will also sit longer at rest than a new one.
02Will this fit any bass drum pedal?
It is sold as universal and covers many common designs, but pedals with proprietary or captive spring assemblies will not take it. Check against your old spring.
03Do I need one or two for a double pedal?
Two. Each pedal has its own spring, and replacing only one leaves the two sides with noticeably different return feel.
04Do I need tools to change it?
Usually just a drum key and your hands. Release the tension fully first so the spring is not under load when you unhook it.
