In this video I am demonstrating the Trick Drums Pro 1-V Single Short Board Kick Drum Pedal. This is a high tech, almost futuristic looking pedal that feels really good to play. All of the high tech features actually just make the pedal easier to use and adjust. When Trick Drums say that they have reinvented the kick drum pedal they really mean it. Precision-machined parts, aerospace-grade bearings, and an internal compression-spring mechanism make this one smooth feeling pedal that brings the power when you need it.
There are many highlights to this pedal. First off is the internal compression-spring mechanism. A small spring inside the housing to left of the beater is adjustable by a single big knob and helps propel the beater forward on every stroke. The Split-Cam design allows adjustment of beater and pedal angles independently plus you can easily adjust the stroke length to fit your feel. The telescoping beater is independent from the shaft and can be placed to hit the center of any size kick drum. The Slide-Trac hoop clamp adjustment gets the pedal in the right spot every time and the ultra-simple hoop clamp lever saves you setup time and aggravation with no tightening of a wing-nut under or to the side of the pedal board.
Do yourself a favor and check out the Trick Drums Pro 1-V Single Short Board Bass Drum Pedal. It could be just what your feet having been asking for. Thanks for watching!

I've got both the Long and short boards [double pedals]. I've had them for over twelve years now with absolutely no breakage or worn parts. This includes touring and multiple shows. Not only are they still solid as the day they were shipped, they still hold true to the notes I'm playing. When I got together with J.T. at Trick it was because Axis left me high and dry on a brand new set of pedals that broke the first show They were used. That's right, they wouldn't honor their own warrantee which caused us to miss a show. I contacted Trick Drums and they put me right through to J.T. himself. He overnighted my longboards and I've never looked back since. In short, I've tried them ALL, from Camco to Axis and none compare in reliability and craftsmanship of the Trick Drums products. Just my two cents...
You toured without a backup pedal?
who uses a back up pedal? a pedal is in its case or on the drum. iron cobras are the way to go.
Hey man! do you play metal and speed double bass? or a less "specialized" music? Asking because I am trying to find information for this pedals outside the metal community, how do they perform on single notes in pop music and such? I am aware of the workhorse pedals like the iron cobra, pearl eliminator and dw 5000 - 9000 but I want a good size long board because I have big foot (haha) and only the metal-speed oriented pedals seem to have them, or great pedals like the demon drive but ... with a really short board even when long board setting.
@@jamesnikki5 I've used my long board pedals for everything from country music to thrash metal and they performed well on all occasions. The best part about the long boards is once you have them dialed in, you can play any genre of music.
Trick and Czarcie Kopyto are the way to go. No other brands (including Axis) come close.
This is easily the most beautiful kick pedal I’ve ever seen
Such a simple yet technical, beautiful pedal
i only got my set recently and was just so blown away at how good they already felt i didnt boter to learn them in depth - i fiddled around with them for sure - after watching this video its like im falling in love them all over again on such a deeper level
Thank you Nick D'Virgilio for another great review.
I have the double and single direct drives. For the most part they are amazing. The main thing I don't like is the way it clamps on the hoop. It's a spring and you have to somehow squeeze the clamp arm down to open it enough to get onto the hoop. That is a real pain to do while you are trying to mount this thing when your drums are set up. I like the DW method with the large wing nut much better. Other than that, this pedal is super fast and well made. I would like to see them change that clamp situation.
Jim S. DWDD has the best hoop clamp. I love it. And it’s self centering and both sides of the clamp has the soft rubber for not scaring the hoop. Nd self adjusting beater is brilliant
I know what you mean. It's almost too strong of a clamp. Try picking up your drum and clamping it on mid air, and lowering it all back down so it goes where you want it. Which you kind of already have to do, if you're using the super strong Velcro that comes with the pedals, which I do since I keep my drums on a rug to begin with and it locks it in place.
Fantastic double base drum pedal. However, I found the footboards too heavy and ordered lightweight foodboards. What a difference much faster and smoother now! I also shortened the connecting shaft slightly!
Wrong title on this video. He's not reviewing the Bigfoot; he's reviewing the short board version.
Right...but, they only differ in board length/pivot point...same animal, otherwise...
One of the "cleanest" pedals I've seen so far, design-wise.
You know no matter what someone will come up with one that they claim is better
Welcome to 21 century
Just got mine today ordered it from Sweetwater.Cant wait to get it adjusted on my kick drum so I can start getting used to it.
*. Can't
Bought these, dw 9002, and the new generation speed cobra doubles to see which ones I like better and much prefer the speed cobras and the chain feel. But I did buy the trick drive shaft 5.0 and put that on the speed cobras and wowwww it’s the best fastest perfect pedal for me. Plus the Tama pedals are MUCH cheaper than these or the DW’s. Returned both the dw and this trick double pedal and bought the new generation iron cobras as a backup and couldn’t be happier. But I will say trick has some really awesome stuff and their drive shaft is seriously amazing innovation and quality. Axis might have had that type of shaft design first but I read from most reviews and forums that the trick 5.0 shaft is better so I went with those. I’m just not really into the direct drive feel compared to chain and the Tama pedals are just perfect for my foot. Even the stock shafts the Tama pedals come with feel great to me but the trick shaft just makes it little more responsive and faster and last much longer.
Trick makes a chain drive as well...actually, you can install one without having to buy a whole new pedal...can't say that for any other brand!
@@chucktouchton398 My Sonor Giant Step can switch from strap to chain to direct no problems at all.
Just proves you don't have to pay a stupid amount of money to get quality equipment, but then again you just always know DW is going to charge you up the Ass for Mid grade Equipment, i think the only thing i do like about DW is the Pedals...........I use Tempus Carbon Fiber Drums and they will out play DW no problems at all, from Tone to Tuning range, no DW kit will touch these Drums.
Enjoy Your new Speed Cobras, and you are the one who knows you didn't get suckered in to buying the most expensive pedals.
** CHEERS **
aren't bigfoot longboards?
This is Trick Drums Pro 1-V Short Board. Pro 1-V Bigfoot pedals are longboards. But the prices are pretty much the same, I believe.
I bought the pro1_V double in 2007 and bought the longhorns for $40 per board...So I paid $890 altogether...I replaced the original designed driveshaft, so altogether, I paid around $950.
I'm blown away by the new pedals out there these days. I just can't get away from my 50-year-old Camco. Furthermore, I bought it for $15 almost 20 years ago, and I use it all the time. The problem with new pedals is, they don't fit in a trap case.
He looks and sounds like Dennis from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Braeden Hicks Its because of the implications...
Braeden Hicks he kind of sounds like him too. Haha
I’m so happy someone finally said it xD
Nah
it is like a vintage Ghost Pedal??
$weet. Most of us have wants but few of us have needs. Being informed and a drum geek is cool but I have never had the cash to play around with so, I do the best that I can, with what I have, right where I am at.
should have shown how they convert to cocktail pedals
I love the Trick metal beaters,but I don’t like direct drive at all on any pedal.
Best reviewer (?) ever! Thank u man
Looks incredible. I love the sloppy feel of an old speed king though. I've tried newer designed pedals and I know this may sound stupid but the ease is just too strange of a feel. Does that make sense?
Tim Anderson I hear you! We are all a little different but I think people can relate to this
Yes, it makes sense. But you'd get used to the new feel in a few days, literally. I'm going through the same thing right now between my old double Pearl Eliminator (16 years old) and my new PDP Concept (3 days old).
Ich spiele das Yamaha dfp 9500 d und bin hoch zufrieden damit. Sicherlich sieht das Trick- Pedal "technischer" und stylisher aus, und die Einstellung der Federspannung ist auch genial gelöst- aber braucht man das? Mal ehrlich: Sehen tut meine Pedale (fast) kein anderer ( und die Yamahas sehen auch richtig gut aus!), und die Einstellmöglichkeiten sind dieselben. Zumal man seine Pedale ja im allgemeinen nicht andauernd verstellt, wenn man einmal die passenden Einstellungen für sich gefunden hat. Das Trick- Pedal kostet allerdings beinahe das dreifache des Yamaha- Pendants, und diesen "Mehrwert" - so es denn einen gibt- sehe ich nicht. Und zu guter Letzt muss ich sagen, dass ich kein Freund dieser flachen beater bin, da finde ich die Variante mit dem zweiseitigen beater ( Filz/ Plastik) von Y. sogar um einiges besser. Leichter zu justieren und man muss den beater nicht auswechseln, sondern einfach nur umdrehen, wenn ein anderer Kickdrum- Sound gewünscht wird. Keep on drumming!
how can you prevent the slave pedal from moving if you dont have 2 bass drum ?
Love me a good direct drive pedal. Just wish these had screw down spikes.
That beater is good looking
Too light...needs a shaft counterweight, or a heavier heater (like my danmar red wood beaters) My pedal is a double (gen 1) Bigfoot from 2007 and that combo is boss tits!
2:40 ...Yes, Super easy.. but would be moot if it slides around. I am Super-Very curious to know just how well it actually stays Put throughout a gig/session/rehearsals, etc.. I've had Ludwig, Pearl and DW pedals and the best of them end up even slightly skewed. I am Not a light, jazz cat Or metal player, but I do lay into my 26" Ludwig pretty hard, but Musical. (Unlike some who have no idea how to hit a crash cymbal with the finesse necessary to get loud without being a cave man, breaking sh*t left and right). SO, For us moderate to heavier players... Does this thing stay Seriously Gripped to the hoop or not? And if not, do they make a "Hoop Sleeve" to thicken up the mounting surface area for the pedal? (not just a cheap rubber adhesive pad that also slides around). Thanks!!!!! Cheers!!!
Sounds much better than the DW you reviewed a short time ago. You can actually hear the drum. And about half the price of the DW.
Maybe this changed recently, but these are significantly more expensive than the top of the line DW pedals.
I meant less expensive lol
Play the dyna sync (tama)
If only I could try one out for 20 mins. Too much money to take a chance on.
I have the double pedal version (Dominator) and I can tell you, I'm never selling it. That being said, I bought them used lol.
Are they good?
hmmm... No music stores where you live? WOW!
not a lot of music stores actually carry them.. too expensive... you might find them here and there when they have used ones.
All you have to do is ask the store to get one in for you to try. If they refuse then contact the distributor to help you out.
Not a fan of that beater,looks like something that could come loose while playing. Would suck playing a show and than suddenly your beater is gone. I like the hoop connecter though and not sure how i feel about the spring seems like it would be a nightmare to replace if you needed to repair it or upgrade it.
For the price it should come with a case.
Kick sounds good
Don't buy it, it's a trick.
You can adjust this pedal so that you fail to pay your mortgage and wonder why you played better on your old cheaper pedal to boot.
Larry Tate haha i get it so funny...
Lmao
thats how all pedals are. an iron cobra or trick, if the pedal isn't set up to your needs then it won't let you do what you want. what you need is a pedal with plenty of potential to get you what you need if you have a different body type. my ankles don't have the flex range as other people's so i need odd set ups for my pedals. without infinite adjustment, i can't play well. this pedal would not work for me no matter what.
will that hoop clamp work with a wood hoop?
Hey, Fittingoff. This will work on all bass drum hoops. It is adjustable.
Thanks for the interest!

Like how he paused when he said it really helps you...stroke....
So they designed a pedal from the ground-up but didn't add ways to attach the tools to the pedal?
Shame.
Why does the same drummer speak for all the pedals
Because he works for Sweetwater and that's his job...
How much?
2 much..I have been considering a DD pedal for quite a while tho..🤔
Can the pedal be triggered?
Yes, do a search on Trick SB1 Laser Trigger
Yes it can, so be careful what you're saying around it
@@I.MilanovHAH
Chris Adler's pedal 😃
Is that batter head on finger tight?
these arent the "Bigfoot" pedals, those are longboards, fix the title
Year late, but trick actually calls these “bigfoot”
This pedal looks almost exactly like "Czarcie Kopyto" pedals.
+TheCzlowiekZagadka No its the opposite, Kopyto look like this, Trick is the original design, Kopyto is the copy. Guys behind Kopyto had copyright law issues back in the days.
Marek Fanta So because Czarcie uses longboards and direct drive they are copying Trick? Why don’t Pearl or Axis get sued then?
@@EvilSewnit No, Axis IS the one who should sue these, they have been here LONGER than Czarcie Kopyto, Trick, or Demon Drives.
From what I understand, no one can sue over a direct drive or compression spring design because that was the original design... from like the 1800s. I think trick has a patent on their driveshaft thats preventing CK from being sold in the US. Could be wrong...
That is not longboard
Yeah .. Made the mistake of buying the Bigfoot.. Didn't like it !
Back to my old trusting reliable Speed King !
sweet? afraid to ask how much....
JINGOISTICALLY SPEAKING $850 USD
Bass Drum ! where does kick come from, in most cases the best drummer use the correct name.
Many people say kick. Some drummers say trap kit/set (short for contraption) and that was the original name given by the jazz drummers in NOLA who invented the drumset...Call it a banana drum, it doesn't matter! A good drummer is a good drummer...
Very expensive pedal but I bet his business cards cost more to type his name out
I dont care for these new style of beaters. Plastic, silicone. What ever happened to the cloth felt material ones. Far more warmer sound.
Guy's reviewing pedals that are made for lightning fast double bass and homie playing it like Ringo. Where's the skinny, long haired metal dweeb to rip these up?
LillianGardner0214 search up Simone arconda piras,
Ringo used a direct drive pedal.
I play various different genres and get unrivaled performance from my Trick double...just sayin...
👏 😯 🍻
Best trick is DEMON !
gohst
I'm so confused right. This pedal feels like shit to me idk what I'm doing wrong.
Did you figure it out?
lets see... a $400 kick pedal. A short list of drummers who managed to make a go of it without a $400 pedal: Elvin Jones, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Billy Cobham, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Carl Palmer Bill Bruford...
Then don't buy one.
Michael Boykin They also didn't have TH-cam, or smartphones.
I don't plan to buy one. I don't mind if you buy one but it isn't going to make you a better drummer than you would be w/ a $50 used Camco or Speed King.
I'd miss youtube but I'm not sure about my phone. There are times I'd love to toss it
yeah, i guess they are awesome on 230-250bpm @ 16
Ok before I even finish watching this : how dumb is it that they would put the hoop memory lock screws UNDER the pedal ??? That’s just totally stupid.
RIP kick drum head lol. Look at that dent right in the center 😆
