Re: Reversed pedal
I like modding hardware. I think it would be worthwhile to craft a beater rod that was bent back in a cocktail-ready fashion. Then you wouldn't have to take the pedal apart to realign the cam - you'd just swap out the beater. The trick would be getting the bend in the rod just right. The rod might a...

Tiki Cocktail Set
Hi, long time lurker now joining your community. I mainly play trap set but I wanted a second set for smaller, quieter gigs.
