G'Day Jarred, several things come to mind. Set the backchecking as close as possible. If you can't get to at least as close as 1/2" you may consider looking at the sweep of the hammer tails. Also, many times the drop is excessive which eats up repetition time. Drop should not be more than 1 or 2mm. Any more than that slows rep and decreases control of pianissimo playing. Excessive drop usually indicates excessive aftertouch as well. All these regualtion steps build on one another. Little errors accumalate. Not knowing your particular experience with regulation, I'll assume that you understood why these things should be checked. If not, the list is always here to inquire from.
