I never disconnect mine. Just carry them by the two hex shafts.Im having a hard time coming up with a scenerio where the pedals woud be assembled sitting in the middle of the floor? I connect the main pedal to the bass drum, add the shaft, then connect the slave pedal. why would anyone assemble it and try to move it as one piece?
See mine were transported in their case so they had to be taken apart, if you leve them assembled, why wouldnt someone assume that they coul be picked up by the shaft. and to carry them with two hands by the hex shaft is just silly, its like your carrying a hot pan or something.I never disconnect mine.

It doesn't seem silly to me. Wouldn't it support the weight of the pedals and minimize torque on the u-joints? You're basically carrying a pedal in each hand, with the drive shaft between them...See mine were transported in their case so they had to be taken apart, if you leve them assembled, why wouldnt someone assume that they coul be picked up by the shaft. and to carry them with two hands by the hex shaft is just silly, its like your carrying a hot pan or something.
Mine didnt come with a case. I've never had a pedal come with a case actually, new or used.See mine were transported in their case so they had to be taken apart, if you leve them assembled, why wouldnt someone assume that they coul be picked up by the shaft. and to carry them with two hands by the hex shaft is just silly, its like your carrying a hot pan or something.
so you carry the double pedal into a gig like its a little baby in your arms, I have never seen a drummer do that before. why waste an entire trip loading in or out just for the predals? Thats insane.It doesn't seem silly to me. Wouldn't it support the weight of the pedals and minimize torque on the u-joints?

mine were pearl eliminators, they always come with a case? if you feel the shaft ends are so fragile/weak, buy a case to save a trip with the pedals only in your hands. If i saw a drummer loading in and making a special trip just for their pedals that were pre-assembled assembled i would honeslty laugh.Mine didnt come with a case.

I received a Trick driveshaft as a gift a couple years ago. Its built like a tank. I still wouldnt use it as a handle. It didn't come with a case either.
I don't think C Dave Run gigs anymore, so he's just moving them around his house. That's why we are thinking about it differently, I bet. I'm picturing him moving them across the den, you're picturing him loading in, lol.so you carry the double pedal into a gig like its a little baby in your arms, I have never seen a drummer do that before. why waste an entire trip loading in or out just for the predals?

Nope, mine had no case. I bought them in the 90s when they first came out.mine were pearl eliminators, they always come with a case?
Yes, they move maybe 10 feet now once every few months.I don't think C Dave Run gigs anymore, so he's just moving them around his house. That's why we are thinking about it differently, I bet. I'm picturing him moving them across the den, you're picturing him loading in, lol.
So now we have transportation haters, on top of DW haters, on top of Stage Custom haters...If i saw a drummer loading in and making a special trip just for their pedals that were pre-assembled assembled i would honeslty laugh.
