It's in the photo-gallery.

Did anyone play this at the
show? I was wondering.

Any details on what exactly makes it "revolutionary"? I find its design is terrible.

i saw it but was not able to play it, reminds me of a ghost pedal

All I know is that it is totally
silent, has an encased housing and
I think it uses inverted spring
tension. I am trying to find out
more about it.

Peter, we have the drums at the Drum Pad, if you want to stop by and check them out.

They were supposed to bring the pedal to our shop but I was teaching and didn't know it was there. The pedal is completely unique. No springs, no elastomers. I don't know if I'm supposed to talk about how it actually works but it's unlike any pedal you've seen or played. I haven't played it yet, but I was told it has the smoothest action of anything ever made.

Trick also received the patent for their unique and seemingly unbreakable GS007 strainer.

Brad,

I was going to ask you about it
because I saw that you guys had
it, at your shop.

Please, if you can, play it and
tell me about it. I will try and
get around to coming in.

Thanks.

personally, i'm not a big fan of the drums, but did get a few of the throw-offs to replace my Nickelworks that are worthless.

In addition, did anyone play any
of their drums?

I have two of their original Kodiak snares that are both very nice. They have thick extruded shells rather than the current offerings which are now rolled and welded thinner aluminum shells. I've heard the drum sets many times, and if you turned your back you wouldn't know they weren't wooden.
