Claim:
A pedal device used to play a drum, the pedal device comprising: a base; a beater pivotally supported by the base and configured to pivot between an operation position for beating the drum and a suspended position separated from the drum; a pedal pivotally supported by the base and configured to operate the beater, the pedal being located at a standby position that is separated from the base when in a free state and being located at a position that is close to the base when in a depressed state; a connection member configured to connect the pedal and the beater; a first urging member configured to hold the beater at the suspended position and the pedal at the standby position when the pedal is in the free state, the beater being positioned and configured to be pivoted from the suspended position to the operation position against an urging force of the first urging member when the pedal is depressed, the urging force of the first urging member returning the beater to the suspended position from the operation position and the pedal to the standby position when the pedal is freed from the depressed state; and a second urging member attached to the base and configured to urge the pedal away from the base by adding a second urging force in an auxiliary manner to the urging force of the first urging member when the beater returns to the suspended position, wherein the second urging force of the second urging member is smaller than a load produced by the pedals, the base being configured such that the second urging member is slidable along a longitudinal direction of the base to adjust a longitudinal position of the second urging member to control the second urging force.
