Dear Trick Drums,

 

Hey, I just wanted say that WOW, these pedals Rule, they're the best pedals out there! Exquisite piece of hardware!

They are extremely well designed and engineered. Won't ever need another pedal again. Pro-1V Big-Foots are the best out there, look no further future buyers. The first time I had ever tried them, they felt very weird, but after only 2 mins in I was like I'M SOLD I WANT THEM. Now I’m playing better, faster, stronger, cleaner and more precise then ever.

Rock on TRICK PERCUSSION!

Oh one more thing, congratulations Trick, on making the most amazing connecting rod. That thing makes my left foot feel like its playing a single pedal, on it’s own bass drum….and one last thing.......

.......WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWW, just love them!!!!

Dear Trick Drums,

Trick's Pro 1-V is an infinitely adjustable twin pedal that is sure to fit any drummer's playing style. Combining superior engineering with space-age aesthetics, the Pro 1-V sets the new standard in twin pedal construction.

Dear Trick Drums,

After relentless search I have found MY pedal. I’ve owned what the other bands have to offer and was never satisfied. The Trick transcends the conventional pedal. Its more than just a drum pedal, it’s a piece of machinery, and it’s also a piece of art. Simply the most solid, playable and adjustable pedal I have ever owned. Even the most discriminating drummer could find what they’re looking for with the Pro1V. From the adjustable hoop clamp to the independent beater and footboard adjustments, this pedal has it covered. 

Trick provides you with the pedal, you make it yours.

I’ve only had my tricks for a few days now, but I’m already in love.

Thank you for your contribution to the drumming community, they’re astounding!

Dear Trick Drums,

The Pro-1V is something that propelled my curiosity from the beginning. Since I saw it for the first time,

 I was very interested in its innovative features as the easy set up and tune capabilities along with

the compression coil, the split cam and the multi pedal adjustment cluster.

 

The split cam is the best system for an optimized easy positioning and user friendly adjustment capability I ever played with. It really helps to customize the feel for your own taste and needs.  In conjunction with the compression coil, I could reach my “optimum” feel, once I could fine tune the pedals without having to stop playing them. After all of it you can still adjust the multi pedal adjustment cluster to one of its three positions to add more feel or power. About the Zero Backlash joints on the drive shaft

 I can state it keeps the power and the feel exactly the same way while you-re playing on two separate pedals.

 

The Pro 1-V Double Pedal is the perfect tool to help me towards a further development of my musical capabilities while playing hands and feet unison double stroke and flam phrases or just keeping the sensitivity on!

Dear Trick Drums,

                            I'm a South American drummer, Santiago-Chile native and I want to share my experience with the Pro 1-V Big foot. I've been playing drums for over 20 years and tried a lot of bass drum pedals through out this time. I was looking for something different, and very durable and with great design and features. So I started searching on the internet. I read a lot of reviews and discover Trick. I found lots of reviews saying about broken problems with some (other company) parts and zero response from the company. After thinking which one would be the best I made my mind and ordered the Pro 1-V double Big Foot without testing (in my country you can't get this products) so, I trusted in Trick and the result was truly GREAT!!!

Imagine a bass drum pedal fully adjustable, smooth, fast, accurate, with a futuristic design, a jewel of engineering... and very durable, VERY DURABLE, to play happy gig after gig, show after show and more. And the most important: a really great customer service for all you need.

So, if you're looking for the great one, trust in TRICK, you'll never be disappointed and let me tell you that the PRO 1-V BIG FOOT will make your feet "speak" and fly with all the music you have and more, because you'll find new levels of comfort and performance while playing this "DREAM BASS DRUM PEDAL" created for the excellence of the art of foot techniques. Thanks a lot To Trick Drums!!!

Sincerely,

Dear Trick Drums,

"The smoothest, fastest, best built pedal on the market, period.  Even for a company known for its phenomenal ingenuity, the Pro 1-V is a master stroke.  Dazzling performance, precision construction, combined with a host of incredibly innovative features, it provides me a true creative advantage. My thanks to the Trick engineers for creating a monster for the ages!"

Dear Trick Drums,

      I had to drop you a line to tell what an unbelievable product that you’ve put on the market!  To finally have a pedal that covers ALL the bases…there are some that are quick, fast and responsive but lack the power & punch.  Not so with the Pro 1-V!  I was surprised with its’ smooth, fluid, silent operation, I purchased the double big foot but have been using them as two separate pedals since I use two bass drums.  Using the heal toe method, the places where my former pedals would die this thing seems to smoothly go!  Playing singles, flams and doubles, the transitioning from one to another puts a lot of pressure on pedals you more or less have to play the rebound of the pedal…these monsters handle it and then some!  Another surprise is foot placement on the pedals when looking for the “sweet spot” for the first time I have options, I mean real options, it all depends on what I want to do.  Definitely the most easily adjustable, best looking (when you come with one of these you mean business) user friendly pedals out there!  And the customer service!  It is so refreshing to speak to people that not a bunch of hirelings that don’t know what they’re talking about.  You receive immediate answers to your questions, and that goes from the top on down the line!  Besides all of that you’ve given drummers an unbelievable opportunity to increase our creativity/expression.  (Can’t wait to get the drums)  Keep up the excellent work!

Dear Trick Drums,
I purchased my Trick Pro 1-V (single) bass drum pedal last month from Dale's Drum Shop in Harrisburg, PA and it is already apparent that it is one of the best drum gear purchases I have ever made. 
The pedal just reeks  of quality and craftsmanship.  Its solidity and smoothness can't be described; the throw of the beater by this pedal is so satisfying and effortless. Indeed it has to be seen and played to be fully appreciated. 
The fact that it is so infinitely adjustable means that you can dial in whichever settings you wish to from a seated position.  And the pedal can easily be adjusted to clone whatever advantages your previous pedal offered, except it eliminates any play in the hinges and any rattle or squeaks in the mechanism.
I would unequivocally recommend this fabulous bass drum pedal to anyone who wants speed, appreciates smooth functionality & durability, and admires meticulous engineering and clever design.  This is a keeper.

Dear Trick Percussion,
Some months ago I called your 800 number to get information on your Pedals. To my surprise, Mr. Taylor returned my call almost right away. To make a long story short, I broke a piece on one of my Axis Pedals while on tour. I tried to get this problem fixed by calling the support number at Axis. The result of that call was either they didn't care, or they just wouldn't stand by the quality of their product. I ordered and received a Pro 1V Detonator Double Pedal. I've never seen such precision and innovative ideas packed into any one product as I have this pedal. Not only is it effortless to play, it's the most precise and accurate pedal on earth! Bar none! No longer do I find myself having to ice down my shins after a show due to having a pedal that feels like I'm pushing on the bumper of an old Buick. Adjustments are easy and on the fly so there's no need to have a Tech reach in while I'm playing to make adjustments or repairs. I just can't say enough about this pedal or the quality of the customer service I've received from Trick Drums thus far. I've been "Tricked" and I love it!!! My next purchase will be a complete kit, and yes, I'll be "Tricked" again. Please feel free to share this letter as you see fit as I'm proud to be the owner of my Pro 1V Double Pedal, and I want the world to know it. Congratulations and many more years of continued success with all the new and innovative products to come from Trick Drums.

Very Sincerely,

Hello Trick Drums I bought your ProV-1 double pedal I would just like to thank you for making the best pedal on the entire plant I am one satisfied customer and then some keep up the good work!

I felt obligated to fire an e-mail to you regarding your new Pro-V1 Detonator double kick pedal. I can honestly say, as the first drummer in Pennsylvania to own one of these things; Holy CRAP!!!!! Who's stroke of genius WAS this thing?!?!? I was a devoted Axis pedal aficionado until I picked up my Pro-V1 last evening at Dale's Drum Shop in Harrisburg. It's really almost TOO fast..(believe it or not!). Of course, now I'm going to have to tailor my double-kick style to suit the pedal,<grumbling ever-so-slightly>,  but it will be a project WELL worth the undertaking! The Axis unit seems sluggish compared to this marvel of engineering. Now, all I need to do is to sell both my children to science so I can get some extra greenbacks to get myself one of those awesome Trick drumkits...<rubbing hands together eagerly> I can always make more kids.....<cackling> Bravo, TRICK!!! Most sincerely impressed.

Dear Trick Drums, I just want to thank you for designing the best Bass Drum pedal in the world. I say this because I own just about every bass drum pedal made on this planet and after a few days of ownership your pedal gets first prize and my drumming has improved because of it.
