There are a number of percussion instruments that uses a pedal. Here are a few of them:
If your meaning the kick peddal on tyhe bass drum then all you have to do is put your foot on the peddal and push down
The timpani is a pitched instrument. You adjust the foot pedal which changes the tension of the drum head. This is what changes the pitch.
For a drum kit, there is a foot pedal with a beater that strikes the skin or head of the bass drum. In a marching situation, a stationary band or an orchestra, a beater is used by hand striking the head of the drum.

(PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BECAUSE ALL OF THE INFO IS VITAL) First you need to get a decent bass drum pedal with a heel placement. You'll find this very simple once you get the hang of is. If you know how to roll properly on a drum, you find that it's like rolling with your feet. You do NOT need a double bass drum to do this but if you don't the method wond sound right. Try to roll with 1 hand and if you do It correctly it will sound like a shuffle. Okay, now, back to the method. All you have to do is nail your heel to the end of the pedal. It does not have to touch the pedal. That's when the ball of your for is very important. When you strike the heel part of the pedal, the ball of your foot will hit the somewhere near the center of the pedal. Then just rock your foot forward and strike the pedal again with your toes. If you call this the heel/ball toe method, it might make a little more sense. The motion isn't the same as a roll on a drum but the sound is; because halfway through the second hit of the first foot, you use the same method with the opposite foot just like a roll. This is the way I learned how to use it, there are a lot of other ways but i think this is the best description.
With a foot pedal. The pedal is usually chain driven and utilizes a beater (soft or hard) which rotates when the chain is pulled down by the foot to strike the bass drum.
they are basically like the kettle drum or timpani. the tone and pitch to the drum itself can be lowered or tightened by a foot pedal, much like kick drum pedal to your average drum set.
Yes. (Only if you buy the actual drums, then the foot pedal will come with the drums.)
Use sticks or brushes for the snare. Sticks for tom-tom, and suspended cymbal. A foot pedal activates the mallet for the bass drum, and another foot pedal activates the high-hat cymbals.

You can plug in your drum foot pedal and hit the pedal to activate overdrive.
This depends, if your referring to a marching band bass drum, you have a mallet that you strike it with. On a drum kit there is a pedal that you "activate" with your foot. This swings the mallet which strikes the drum head.
The timpani is a pitched instrument. You adjust the foot pedal which changes the tension of the drum head. This is what changes the pitch.
It's the hi-hat.

William F. Ludwig designed the bass drum pedal in 1909.
