Trick Drums Pro 1-V Custom Shop Bigfoot Double Pedal Demo

[@Lasers459]

Can we just take a second to appreciate Mike Dorfman. That man has changed the game.

[@BBEDrummerAK]

Peeps griping about the price, consider this: 1) its all machined, high grade titanium, billet aluminum, and even steel. 2) its all manufactured in the US (like Axis), and as we all know, US made products just simply cost more because workers aren't making pennies on the dollar like they are in other countries that most manufacturers use to make their product (China, Taiwan, etc). That's not saying the quality is any less with other high end pedals, but you're truly buying a tank of a pedal that will last you many moons longer than anything else. And Sweetwater does have the option of making multiple payments on these pedals. Still expensive as hell, but that fact alone helped me pull the trigger on the 'regular' Pro-1V Bigfoots. I played the first gen version of these pedals long time ago, and only stopped playing them and moved on to Pearl Demon Drives was simply because I wasn't playing extreme metal anymore, and I didn't need to play something that was like launching Howitzers at my kick drum. 😂😂 Im back to playing black metal again, and it was time I went back to a more serious pedal. Not for everyone, I agree.

[@timmoran6280]

I owned this pedal for a bit. From a manufacturing standpoint there is nothing above it. You really cant appreciate the quality, fit and finish and feel without actually seeing it in person. I ended up selling them and getting the DW machined series. But just because I preferred the feel. But Trick has the best manufacturing quality hands down.

[@angrychivafan]

A pedal that expensive needs to come with a case.

[@quorthonsinferno5119]

Right?? EDIT: I just looked it up and their double pedal case costs 120! 1000 for the pedal is understandable but 120 dollars for a plastic case? damn

[@Triple-M822]

@@quorthonsinferno5119 Not a very good case either. It's basically just a box without any interior molding.

[@x8jason8x]

I'm not saying y'all are wrong but, I don't think there's anything I can do to break these pedals short of a steamroller or foundry.

[@drumrboynoid]

It also needs spikes to hold it in place. I just returned mine yesterday. I was hoping it would be the last pedal I ever purchased, atleast the best. I cant understand why they would overlook this. I've been playing drums for 25 years and instantly knew velcro wouldn't hold it in place.

[@chazmichaelmichaels88]

There is a pedal called (I believe) czarkie kopyto. If I recall they are a bit cheaper than the trick pedals but aren't allowed to be sold/shipped to the US because trick pedals has a patent dispute.

[@dr.threatening8622]

Srsly though, anything Nick demos is going to sound amazing.... Can we all just appreciate how much we enjoy watching him work?

[@JakeStaffin]

I gotta say, I think this is the top tier of the top tier for kick drum pedals- with its infinite adjustability and the ability to turn it into two single pedals, this clearly does the job. I first heard of Trick this summer when Alex Rudinger started using their pedals for the direct drive that the Tama Speed Cobras do not offer and have been interested since. However, 1K is a lot to spend on a pedal which is why I’m much more considering the new Speed Cobra or the Pearl Redline Eliminator, both of which are less than half the price. But I will say that the driveshaft is amazing. I currently use a Gibraltar 6700 double pedal and I was starting to set up the pedals in a straight line to reduce the latency of the secondary pedal (similar to Travis Orbin) but I invested in the Trick driveshaft for my Gibraltar double pedal (shoutout to my Sweetwater Sales Engineer Josh Strid for always being awesome) and it’s truly something else. The secondary pedal responds the same way a single pedal would and both beaters take the same amount of time to stop moving. Trick has some amazing stuff so if you don’t want to invest in the pedal, definitely go for the universal driveshaft. Great review, can’t wait for my new Ludwig Supraphonic (B Stock version with olive/blue badges on serious sale) to arrive this week for #HappyNewGear. Always love shopping with Sweetwater!!

[@Yeetuss]

These pedals are incredible, I highly recommend. 7 years strong on the same pedals, I’m the second owner as well. So I don’t know the full age of the pedals.

[@samdominator6394]

Es todo un honor pertenecer a la familia Trick

[@TheInditribe]

Got the low mass version in the green and black version. Best pedals ive had or played, but pedals are all about preference. I need a lot of dbl kick runs, so it's perfect for me. and I will say, for those learning how to play dbl kick, it really does help to have a consistent pedal to see your progress. I messed around endlessly with pearl demon drive pedals learning heel toe, but these guys made it so much easier.

[@johanjotun1647]

I didnt like the demondrives, they came mint with a kit I bought used, I traded them in used and got what I paid for the whole setup, in hind sight that was kinda scary... shopping these I saw version Bigfoot cheaper than your BigfootproV1s, Is there a difference other than the lower weight and the colors between the 2 models? I'm always with 2 kickdrums and don't need the shaft I just can't tell if its only the Weight and the pretty i'd be sacrificing going that route.

[@TheInditribe]

@@johanjotun1647 to my knowledge, they have short board pedals, long board, and low mass. Everything else is the same unless it's the dominator version. You can always just buy the low mass footboards by themselves too.

Yes!! Absolutely!!! And thank god for Mike Dorfman!!! Changing lives one pedal at a time.

[@EvilSewnit]

I got a used iron cobra 910 powerglide and find it smoother than any other pedal i’ve tried before.

[@mwb78]

Try the updated Speed Cobra. It'll blow your mind.

[@STEELFACEJOINTHEFAMILYTODAY]

Try one of these. You'll throw your Iron Cobras away dude. Not that Iron Cobras are bad, they are great pedals. BUT, you will fall in love with these. I went from Iron Cobras to Axis A21 Laser Longboards. My iron Cobras have been sitting for a year and a half.

[@mamaisyo8623]

Bro that's insane, but nobody asked

[@jasondranger2165]

[@I_ROT_WITHIN]

The powerglide make your bassdrum sound like a Canon, but they're heavy af.

[@capoman1]

11:01 I know things are getting expensive when I "have to talk to my Sweetwater sales engineer."

[@KrisHuber]

This was by far one of the best pedals I ever owned... HOWEVER Big disclaimer for those of us that use 20" bass drums, there's no way to adjust the spacing between the beaters and where they strike the head, so the second pedal is so far from center that the tone is awful. Not to mention the hoop clamp system should really be redesigned. After a year or two I had to switch out the bass drum clamps for new ones because of the tension of the spring diminishing over time. If you have a standard size bass drum though, you cannot beat this pedal as far as comfort and ease of use. Compression springs on bass drum pedals will always be my favorite.

[@lucasbrucas9632]

I just ordered the standard pro 1-v bigfoot's and have a 20". Would you recommend upgrading to a 22" to save myself the hassle or what?

[@tomificationable]

That Mead With Juniper Berries look up BASS PLATE from Musicians Friend, or EBay. It allows you to laterally adjust your pedal. Might save you a headache.

[@lucasbrucas9632]

@@tomificationable That's awesome! I might need to try that. I'm not a professional drummer or anything so tone isn't of utmost importance but thanks for the reccommendation, rock on!

[@ElStomatube]

Good tip: "Hoop Clamp upgrade for Trick Pro 1-V & Bigfoot"; www.acd-unlimited.at/english/onlineshop/axis-trick/

[@BumpNrun69]

Yeah I'm definitely not a huge fan of the hoop clamp system either. It still pivots side to side because only 2 points underneath (outer area) and only 1 point on top of hoop (small center area). My old demon drives had a lot more better design. The clamping area covered a lot more area in detail. Plus Trick's hold down WILL damage your hoop in time, that's why I use a small piece of rubber on top of hoop and underneath (for support). Although it's awkward to slide the pedal-on and holding rubber around hoop edge at the same time.

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

I’ve been running the Pro 1-V Bigfoot double for 10 years. It’s build quality is awesome. Honestly the chain drive Iron Cobra felt better to me. Being direct drive is a strange feeling. Some like, some hate. After 10 years I should be better with it. The Iron Cobra broke down within 1.5 years. Trick never gave me a problem mechanically.

[@BumpNrun69]

"Never say never"... I have a short-board and Pro 1-V pedal that are failing. The beater is sticking (no rebound) at the end of the stroke on the Bass Drum head. The Pro 1-V won't even return at times, it's sitting in the corner waiting for me to totally tear apart because looking under-neath the screw cap and disassembling the Spring Adjustment screw, components seam to be okay. Need to research further, another day down the road.

[@evanshuping5218]

It took me a while to adjust too, but now I can roll double strokes on the bass all day with hardly any effort. These pedals play themselves, just gotta keep your foot work clean.

[@drumrboynoid]

Hiw do you prevent it from sliding all over the place?

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Very expensive, but they are the top end of direct drive pedals, but you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a direct drive, the PDP concept is a very affordable way over to direct drive feel . The first few times I used direct drive it felt wrong, but it just clicked for me one day and I haven't looked back since, much easier to play very fast double bass.

[@zhongxina8426]

wow this pedal is more expensive than my whole drum kit

[@XeRo333]

Same!

[@samc6332]

The one thing that dosen't ever seem to get mentioned is how hard these can actually hit. In the directions it tells you to adjust the hoop clamp so that the beater impacts the head as close to 90 degree angle on the beater shaft as possible. When you do, look out! Easily compared to my old Pearl Eliminators for power. They even have a chain attachment now that you can swap out the direct drive portion if you are a hardcore chain guy.

[@cypherking5546]

I get this is about the pedal… but what tf is Nick’s snare?!? Holy gajoly that thing sounds so good

[@JoseMTamez]

Oh shit! Nick's been practicing! You know, I like Mitch but it's always better to have a real drummer introduce a new drum product line. Do they have one for a lefty? If they do I'll buy right away. Chances are us lefties are gonna get left out in the cold on this one but I'm crossing my fingers.

[@mwb78]

$1000. Probably worth it. I'll never know at that price. I'll stick with my current rig.

[@mwb78]

@Derek Frampton good point! This is not an issue with Sweetwater, you guys are amazing! Seriously, how many working drummers or weekend warriors are going to be able to afford this? Who, outside of the sponsored drummer, is going to have one of these? There is a price point sweetspot that us drummers, whose primary income comes from a job outside of drumming, can afford for a pedal. For me, it's way too high. My old Pearl Demon Drive Direct Drive that I bought (roughly 500 USD) in 2009 replaced and Eliminator which I still have for my road/teaching kit...and that was a gigantic sacrifice. I moved up (tech and fit for my large feet and overall playability...for me) to a Speed Cobra double which was far less than 1/2 the price of this Trick rig. Is it worth it, probably! But, it was made to suite a very niche market (primarily super fast footed metal players) who don't have sponsorships. Having said the above, I hope they sell loads of these!

[@evanshuping5218]

I got mine used on Ebay for 600. Best pedals I've ever used.

[@HaselwoodCattleCompany]

I'm curious how these would be for heels down playing? I haven't heard anyone talk about that

[@Stardust_Lei978]

I’m mean, most LongBoards aren’t intent for heel down. I think you’d be a little better off learning how to use flat foot or heel up.

[@HaselwoodCattleCompany]

@@Stardust_Lei978 oh I play both ways depending on the style I'm playing

[@bergerdrum]

Reminds me of the Premier 252 pedal I played ages ago, which also had a one-piece footboard design ... only this pedal has the hinge at the very end of the footboard, not under the center of the heel like the Premier. I recall playing that old pedal heel-down sometimes, and it took a LITTLE getting used to, but it wasn't radical. I'm guessing that this Trick footboard will take less getting used to than the Premier did, because with the hinge all the way at the end, your heel is not going to feel like it's being pushed up. Your heel is going to be slightly ahead of the pivot point. So, while it'll take a little adjustment getting used to your whole foot including your heel being in contact with the board, it won't be a long or difficult process.

[@heartbeatsdrum]

I want those purple ones so bad, lol.

[@gatlinproduction]

Wonder how well this would work on a Roland TD50K? Have anyone tested?

[@Lasers459]

This is the best pedal in the world. Of course it will work.

[@BumpNrun69]

I have the chrome version, Bigfoot double pedal on the KD-140 and it works great. Both beaters line up pretty good within the half-moon foam center. Make sure you're using the hard rubber portion of the beater. Rebound and feel are really good.

I bought mine a year and a half ago, and it's a hard beast to tame. But once you master it, you can never go back. I've had an iron cobra and a DW 9002, and they all got terrible latency on the slave pedal. I guess you can only buy the drive shaft to improve your actual pedal, since its the strongest point of this pedal.

[@timmoran6280]

They are over engineered. But the thing that I really think holds people back are if they like a light feeling pedal. These tricks are really designed for heavy spring tension and super fast playing. I was at the Chicago drum show and they were showing their new low mass versions. Essentially the same pedal but the underside of the footboards are routed out and you can lower the spring tension way lower without any ill effect. You can also buy a chain drive for any of their direct pedals. @@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52
