Hi Steve, I wrote you a few months ago and asked you what you recommend using to clean the pedal arm assembly, and you DID respond by answering my question regarding the vertical rod that the clutch moves up and down on which enables us to stretch the head up or down. Somehow, I have lost that message and wondered if you could tell me again how you got all of grease and grime off that rod? I recall it was some type of sandpaper and I think you said something about silicone. Could you please tell me again? Thanks very much, Steve.
To clean the clutch rod, start with plain rubbing alcohol and a cloth. If the waxy build-up is still to much, you can use goo gone or de-solve it products to remove any stubborn grease or wax. It the clutch rod is rusted, use 1000 grit emory type polishing sand paper cloth to remove the rust. A very fine coat of WD-40 or any light machine oil (rubbed on with a cloth) is all that is needed to prevent further rusting and create a very smooth pedal adjustment.
DrumDial Oh, thank you Steve! You are a life saver! Not only has your DrumDial been a lifesaver, so are your instructional rebuilding of the timpani videos! Kudos, sir! Thanks a million!
We asked Premier for the diagrams and they sent us the PDF's. You can contact them directly with your style timpani and they should be able to help with the diagrams. They also have newer style timpani diagrams on their website here: orchestral.premier-percussion.com/catalogue/timpani
Hello, Could you sent me the diagrams from video? Premier answer me: unfortunately we do not have any available drawings to supply for the Series 3 Premier timpani. Thanks in advance!
