I bought a Trick pedal a couple of weeks ago and I'm really impressed with it. I'd been playing DW9000s for the past three years and wanted to try something new. The Trick pedals have gotten very positive reviews here, so I bit the bullet and dropped the hammer.
The thing that really stands out about this pedal is it's ease of adjustment. All of the adjustments are easy to reach. The 9000, while a great pedal in it's own right, is a hassel to adjust.
The Trick utilizes a split cam for stoke and foot board angle. A large knob on the riser controls spring tension and the foot board can be placed on three different positions for aceleration. Super adjustable and the cams are marked. Repeating a setting is easy and fast.
When I first mounted the pedal it was sliding around a little. A few Velcro strips placed on the bottom on the base plate took care of that, and the pedal feels rock solid now.
I'm still getting the pedal dialed in and trying out different adjustments. So far it is a joy to play. At $325.00 it's a bit pricey compared to most other pedals, but the quality and user friendlyness makes it woth while to me.
