Spring Stretching – Over time, the spring on your bass drum pedal will stretch out. Keep this in mind as at some point you will probably have to adjust the tension.

Equipment Maintenance – You should oil your springs and lugs from time to time. They can get packed with dirt and dust and prevent your stands, pedals, and drum gear from working its best.

Videotape Yourself Playing – Watching a video of yourself playing drums can allow you to observe your posture and technique. You can also look at the placement of the elements in your kit to make sure you are not reaching too far for anything as you play.
