This is a cool look

[Bo Eder]

For those of you beginning to hate that black/silver/red look:


I couldn't help myself. I like this all metal look even though I know it won't make me play any better. I was beginning to hate the black and red motif. If anybody wants one, these (along with a matching 5000 hi-hat stand) are available only through the Chicago Music Exchange.

Or buy a Speed Cobra...

Or send your red and black one to me, I'll put in the media blast cabinet, remove all the paint, and send it back to you. Just cover the shipping.

 

[AzHeat]

Looks 10x better.

No

That’ll just look ghetto

I do think it looks a bit striking. I thought the gold ones and glossy chrome ones looked too silly. These look like working tools. I can get behind that.

I'm sorry, are you trying to tell me that I don't know how to use blast media? That I haven't been doing this for 30 years? I think you're sorely mistaken. FYI, blast media is how DW finishes the raw casting before it's painted.
If I were, say, a thin skinned bully gameshow host, I might be insulted.

Oh no I’m not saying that. I’m just saying it’ll look like a one-off to my working class ways. I wouldn’t hassle one person to do something unique just for me. I feel better when they come from an assembly line

look like a one-off

Then you can refer to it as your "bespoke pedal" and be a pretentious twit! LOL

Never!

Use dry ice in your media blaster and have very little clean-up

I don't mind the red/black deal as I have a matched set. If it were a Frankenstein deal, I'd go this route just to match it all up.

I think I like it because it matches my Yamaha CrossTowns. Of course, nobody but me will ever see that when I’m playing.

Doesn't keep me from matching my underwear with my socks.

Exactly.
Maybe some photog will snap a shot of your kit pre-gig, but that's a big maybe. I've learned over the years that audience members really don't care about as much as the band thinks they do.
They're just there to have a good time & as long as the band is delivering, it'saul goodman.

Don’t tell Andy and the Guru brigade

We all know the pedal is now faster and smoother. Having it match the hardware makes it smoother and faster yet. It’s a proven fact!

Did DW up the price for the no color look? I like my 5000 Black and Red

 

[Stroman]

Pedal's under my foot. I couldn't care less what color it is.
