You should attach it to a practice pad such as this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibraltar-GBDP-Bass-Drum-Pad-100253641-i1139033.gc

you could always make your own practice pad out of a box or something, quite a few people have done that in the show off your drumset thread.

Try putting one sensor on the beater arm and the other on the pad. It works surprisingly well.

Photobucket

check out my sexy ass pedal

EDIT: i made some changes, i took off all the extra tape, and repositioned the sensor, now i am just going to raise the beater slightly, and i am using a shoe box with a guitar amp keepin it from moving, it all works great!

Photobucket

definitely would recommend this to all drummers.

That sound is probably from the bottom of the footboard slamming into the hoop clamp. You can try a rubber door stopper, like Rock Pedal uses, or put some foam or something on the clamp to cushion the blow.

The best way, of course, would be to put a beater on the pedal and have that beater hit something. That stops the footboard before it can get low enough to hit the clamp.

i didn't feel like looking through 31 pages, so i'm not sure if anyone asked this or not, but: would a hi-hat pedal work as well?

Yeah, but don't use it. It doesn't feel like a bass pedal and won't work as a bass pedal well.

Just get yourself a Pearl P900 and use that.
