Was reading a profile on Jet Black of The Stranglers when I came across this...
"During a long career in music, Black, like many other drummers, became aware of certain practical limitations inherent in the basic kit design and set about addressing the issue in the form of the now [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent"]patented[/ame] 'Jet Black Power Bass Drum Pedal'. This has brought new freedoms of comfort and technical feasibility to drummers. The 'Jet Black Power Bass Drum Pedal' enables the bass drum to be placed anywhere and yet remain playable"
Anyone from here ever use one of them or are they mad expensive or are they just basically "cheating" and non raw like?

so, what if I put the bass drum in another room?is there a gaurantee on this?

 

[GO]

Leave Ringo out of this.

 

[axisof]

Yea. If its what im thinking of ive played one. Its just like a pedal, with a flexi coil coming out of it leaving onto a pedal on the bass drum. No need really unless you own a 40 foot kit.
It could just be a double kick pedal tho, without a picture i dont know :O

 

[Janer]

Cheers for that reply, I was just curious after reading about him and his methods.
