I just received this:
Thank you for your inquiry. We are going to unveil the BOA at the Winter NAMM show. We are still testing out the pedal and will be projecting a release as early as spring 2005. Thank you.

You have all the info I have.
If you have seen the Bo-Flex
exercise systems, that will
give you some idea of the
basis behind it.
It looks and sounds fascinat-
ing. I want to try them.
I also noticed how the beater
mechanism was set up that the
action looks optimium. This
is according to my view, of
course. We'll soon see.

Do you have to shave all of the hair off of your chest and rub down with baby oil to play it? [img]eek.gif[/img]
Seriously, what's the price?
And will someone shoot Bob Gatzen; he's got a monopoly on all the great ideas. [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's that Bo-Flew stuff i didn't see ( on you link i just see a picture and a short explanation ) , i try a little search on internet and seem this system use a kind of elastomer rather then a spring ?Originally posted by peter c:

I saw a prototype of this pedal at the DW booth at NAMM this year. It felt very different from the usual spring versions. Clever idea. I'm looking forward to test driving their final version.
Another nice idea is that new beater (pictured with the pedal). It has both a soft and hard component. For soft strokes only the soft section hits the head. For stronger strokes, the hard center part kicks in for a different sound.

BTW:
Peter,
Thanks for writing back! We are
aiming to release the new pedal
at a price similar to our 5000
pedal line.
