...you guys/gals need to revisit your seating position if this is a continous thing with different styles of pants or dresses. I also suggest that you leave your pedal in the factory beater setting/position to those that play around with settings.
...the pedal that is known for it's beater hittin' shins are the Yamaha Flying Dragons. I've played on 3 different generation Yamaha Pedals and those things love to fire back at ya. Definetly not church drummer friendly. lol
