Trick Drums Dominator Single Pedal

I stumbled onto this pedal pure by research for a pedal with adjustable beater height.
This was necessary for my 18" kick, because the beater on my classic 1st gen Iron Cobra just couldn't be lowered enough.

I searched the net for the best pedals around.
Then I came across this.
The beater head can be lowered, but I was especially interested in the optional laser trigger add-on.
Also from Trick, its their own design.
I ordered the both, as a bit of a gamble, since the internet didn't provide too many examples about the trigger.

To make a long story short: it works beautifully. For me.
I installed the trigger add-on via an internet video manual, tightened it, and it worked immediately.
No piezo vibration, just the laser checking movement..which means no more false triggers by vibrations. It's a game changer. With a price.
For the price of the laser trigger add-on alone, you'll already buy yourself an excellent kick pedal..
But. This means you will always have your build in kick trigger around, it will always trigger the same even if you would use a piece of wood as a kick..
It even got a blue led which flickers at every trigger.

The pedal itself...it took some time for me to find the right set up. Experimented with beater weights, beater heights, spring tension and footboard angle, and eventualle found my sweet spot, after weeks of trying.

The old Iron Cobra (single chain, rolling glide) is a fabulous, light and fast pedal, durable, reliable, never had to replace anything.
I will always keep it and use it for the acoustic gigs.
The Trick plays even lighter and...it's totally quiet. Not a squeak during action.
Very happy with it, and due to the price it's exclusive, but worth every penny.

I didn't give it 5 stars for it's features: because it hasn't got a toe stopper option.
Which I'm very much used to.
Had to learn some footing without again, which took weeks.

Tengo poco más de medio año con este pedal y lo único que tengo para decir son cosas buenas! Estuve un largo tiempo intentando decidir por un pedal con "direct drive" y después de mil reviews y la grandísima ayuda de el equipo de Thomann, me decidí por este.

Fisicamente, a mi parecer, es muy bonito. Su manufactura es impecable! partes de aluminio/metal por todos lados, tornillos, su "beater" de metal... me parece fenomenal el diseño. La caja lleva velcros para pegarlos debajo del pedal, muy buenos por cierto; aparte de una llave para poder llegar mejor a algunos de sus tornillos.
Su funcionamiento es también muy bueno. No he tenido el más remoto problema con él, no soy un pro ni de cerca pero todos los movimientos que puedo hacer a la fecha con él, van perfectamente y con tantas cosas para modificar, le encontrarás el punto exacto seguro! Yo llevaba probando unos meses y hasta ahora creo le he pillado la tensión correcta.
Es un pedalazo y venden todas las partes por separado en caso de que alguna de ellas (después de no se cuánto uso) se rompan!
