"AmbA DextrO"

Playing both sides

HISTORY

An idea...


The invention of the cable hi-hat... a revolution in drumming equipment history...

In the beginning there was just an idea...
Place the hi-hat in front of the snare drum...

The obvious pedal choice for me was the TRICK
Pro 1-V Detonator Bass Drum Pedal.

See my review on the

Pro 1-V Detonator Bass Drum Pedal.

Double bass drums



Since I liked the idea of two bass drums, I had to have Michael Dorfman, President of TRICK Percussion, make me a second bass drum.

Of course Michael's work was impeccable.

Prototype...

On the left we see the "AmbA DextrO" idea with a combination of two sets of drums...the Yamaha Maple Custom and the TRICK custom made toms and bass drum...I would eventually move to all TRICK drums and have both bass drums made in the same finish as my toms...candy apple red.


This prototype was featured in the March 2005 issue of "Modern Drummer" magazine...the "Kit of the Month" section.
