Got this a few days ago, service from Thomann excellent. I play on a Tama Iron Cobra double and although the drive shaft looked and felt pretty solid, thought to invest in the Trick drive shaft as soon as it became available, mainly to reduce any lag regarding the slave unit. So my thoughts so far are:
- Fits perfectly to my setup, no problems.
- It is heavy and sturdy, looks like a quality piece of equipment.
- First hour of playing felt different, made me doubt a little bit.
- As i continued practising for the next few days, i started noticing the pedals felt more responsive and light under the feet, slave pedal especially.
- Gives me the impression i have to tighten the springs a little bit.
- Needs little time to get used to.
All said, it is a good investment and so far delivers to an extent what it promises. Both pedals feel definitely more equal as far as action is concerned. Smooth is a word that fits for sure... Don't expect miracles though, you have to practise hard to achieve high speed, endurance and consistency.
