So how about a little review Harry ;-)
Quite frankly, I'm in heaven. It's been almost 3 years since I first played the Sleishman (at the 2008 NAMM) to me now owning a set. There are only 3 pedals (that I know of) that are "of center design". The Sonor, the Off-Set, and the Sleishman. First and foremost, I wanted a center design pedal. In 2005, at the Winter NAMM, I was able to do a 3 day shoot-out, between the Sonor, and the Off-Set. I wound up buying the Off-Set.
The Sleishman has been around since 1971, but it wasn't until 2008 NAMM, that I got my feet on one. And my feet likey-likey. Now I own a set. And the Off-Set's, they've served me well ... but they'll go up on eBay soon.
I like the two different beaters Harry very cool concept. As with the set-up IMO I think it would play more like 2 bass drums you straddling the snare lol & you're feet are equal distances apart.
congrats on the landing,

I love my Vater VB. I'm gonna order another, but I'm not sure if the clearance is there for 2 fluffy's to side-by-side. But in any event, I need one for my Yamaha single pedal (Flying Dragon). So it won't go to waste, but yeah, two different beaters, I've mixed and matched for years. Sometimes going for subtle differences, sometimes more extreme. Like playing 2 kicks ... you can play/tune them identical ... or not.
The one thing I noticed immediately was how easy the left foot kick drum/hi-hat combo thang is to do, with this rig.
Distance, center to center on the footboard, at the heel, 19", and at the toe 21". So this is a pretty tight rig. Seems like less of a leg-spread, than most.
