I just adjust my beater for the angle. Didn't have that problem with any of my DW pedals when I was playing DW and don't have it with my Janus at this time. I think I had that problem once with an old Tama Rockstar pedal I have that I now use for my cowbell. All I did was adjust the spring tension to accomodate the extra travel and clamped the pedal a little back on the plate. Are you mounting the cradle snug with the hoops of the heads, right back up against the rim on a tom? Especially the back cradle piece. Since I use the cradle with either an older 16" Ludwig Tom or wood hooped 20" basses everything fits well. Some rims have deeper aprons dropping below the head. You may be having that problem. Ludwig rims are quite shallow below the head level. I don't use my 16" anymore as a bass because I can use either of my 20" basses, but to improve the sound of that tom as a bass I ordered wood hoops and claws for it and at the end had it turned into a true 16" bass drum. You might have to get one of those mallets that have impact adjustments rather than use the fixed DW mallet. Gibraltar make a good one that's not too expensive and the Tama does the same thing. That way you can move your pedal clamp back on the plate. I've always used pedals with plates with those big velcro strips that grab the gig rug surface so if I do have those types of problems I can back off the pedal, use the velcro and the pedal spurs to lock the pedal to the floor.
