Is that a concert stand holding up the snare? I just bought one and I was wondering how that worked out. Nice groove, by the way! Kind of Rockabillious. Thanks, guys. That was my 3rd show playing the kit (and with the band), so definitely still ironing out a number of kinks. And yes, that is a Pear...

Someone posted some videos of our first show with the new Straight 8s line-up from Saturday. Not bad for a first shot at playing these songs live together... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmkF5CJExXI I wish the audio was better, but this will give you an idea of our sound/vibe AND see the Phattie c...

Wow, hasn't been a post to the forum since Nov 22, so guess a little self-promotion won't be too big an impact. LOL I just launched the new Straight 8s website. http://www.straight8s.com Always interested in constructive criticism, so if you have a second to check it out, let me know what you think....

Straight 8s are playing Puckett's in Charlotte on Saturday, Jan 2. This is our first show with the new line-up and should be a blast. More details on the "Latest News" section of our website: http://www.straight8s.com

I have a several month old DW side-kick pedal for sale. You can search for my posts on this site to read about my adventures with it. The pedal and beater assembly are in great shape. I only used the pedal for two gigs and a handful of rehearsals. The black cord is frayed, and "fixed" with...

How much for the side-kick? It was a special order from my local Sam Ash... couldn't find one on the shelves anywhere (in hopes of being able to get a better price). I just checked my credit card statement from August and it was $245 out the door with tax. I don't think packing and shipping would c...

Pedal arrived today. Took 15 minutes to reverse it and it feels rock solid under-foot. I am totally stoked. Going to set the rest of the kit up tomorrow and have a proper thrash to break it in. I don't have rehearsal till early next week... really can't wait to lay down a proper pulse (no pun intend...

It stays put . Just don't forget to tighten it up before you play. I had it slip on me once in the middle of a HankIII song( Thrown out of the Bar) That sucked. I have giged it about 25 full nights, and also lots of rehersel. Great pedal for the money Thanks for the input. The pedal shipped yesterd...

I already have the pulse pro pedal. It works great. I am looking for pedals, or other toys you all might not be using anymore. I have cash. LOL. Thanks, Rooster Awesome! So if you had to list one (or more) strengths/weaknesses of the reversed Pulse Pro, what would they be? Is it very stable when pl...

I am looking for some reversed pedals. Need back up, and one for the studio. I have been working way too many hours, and have zero time for a reversing a pedal. Let me know what you have. Also any other toys you might be willing to part with. + shipping. I like the plate design with the velcro on t...

It's already been mentioned but the problem is that there is a sharp edge at the end of the pedal where the cord passes over it. My cord started to fray so I took it apart, filed down the edge with a flat bastard file, and voila! I've been playing it for several years now with no fraying. Bruce the...

Just occured to me, maybe a chain may work and have the more immediate feel. Just a thought. Thought I'd follow-up on the fraying/working loose issue(s). 1) Fraying - I wrapped the cord with a single layer of black electrical tape where it enters the mounting/anchor assembly. For those with one of ...

Does the "arc" in the cable make the pedal-->beater connection feel a little sluggish? Overall, I am pleased with the "feel" of the rope/cord, but I need it to not fray and be reliable. I bought the pedal knowing it wouldn't feel like a direct/strap/chain drive type pedal, but je...

might be interested if it's cheap enough. I was thinking along the lines of $150 + $10 shipping. Again if the rounded screws are an issue I can get an extractor to try and remove them and then replace them, but as they're the screws for the footplate and heelplate they still hold strong (too strong...

Thanks for the kinda words, guys! I take no credit other than knowing the right two guys to talk to, to make the drum a reality. :-) Had a first gig with it on Friday... definitely got some great response. One guy came up with his niece (a drummer in her school band) and they were both fascinated wi...
