On drums...

Plus, the pressure from playing only makes it fit further onto the rod. Which is very different from the foot part, that tends to slip away from the rod (under pressure).

well not necessarily as the ground is there to stop anything moving downwards, it's only if one is lifting the pedal off the ground, repositioning for example!

Looking at it more closely: the tripod leg assembly (including the upper and lower plastic bushings and the threaded brass spring tensioner) have nothing to do with the connection of the shaft to the base. Once you remove the base, all that assembly should slide off the central tube, although the threaded brass piece is locked in position or it would be useless as an adjuster.

The footboard pivots, but only in relation to the tripod assembly. It should not pivot in relation to the central tube. It is either a press fit, or else the bass and the central tube are threaded. Have you tried spinning the central tube clockwise (typical right hand thread) in relation to the base to see if it might perhaps tighten up? It is difficult to imagine a press fit, even one that has come lose, being so sloppy that it would spin as easily as yours seems to.

I've emailed Sonor.de re the problem and asked them how the pedal is assembled, that should answer it...assuming they get back

Assuming. Meanwhile, I'm betting you'll be buying some Loctite.

yes, saying that I'm sure i've got some somewhere, the two tubes that mix together right?

Single component fluids. If the tube is press fit, you would use one type of fluid, if threaded, another, so it's good to know what you have before ordering.

Hello Nicolas,
many thanks for your Email.

No there is no fix mechanism or something. The middle tube is connected to the footplate only with a metal glue.

I hope this will help you.

Many thanks,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
With best regards

Good start. Will they suggest a type of glue to use? That would narrow down your options. Metal glue is pretty broad.
