The late&great Colin Flooks aka Cozy Powell used them throughout his career,

They're modelled on Ludwigs Speed king design,

I DON'T know if Cozy ever broke his pedals or not,

There's a bloke here in "OZ" that has these pedals for sale shipping to USA may etc be cheaper.

Those are neat looking!!

Cheers

I see those on eBay here in the states pretty regularly. They generally don't go for very much.

Thanks all. Great Moon flick! They're pretty cheap when they pop up so I'll give one a try.

I used to have one to make my B303 outfit complete. It's light, easy playing, but if you're used to today's function of bass drum pedals, keep away from them.

Playing it makes only sense if you want to have the genuine feeling of playing the bass drum like back in the early 70's.

Thanks. I have all vintage drums but very little vintage hardware sans snare stands. I typically play Yamaha FP-6110A pedals, which are modern and simple, but I dislike Iron Cobras, DW 5000s etc. Would you say the Premier is that far off from a simpler low end modern pedal? I'm thinking maybe it's like a Speed King due to direct drive and maybe a bit better for heel-toe due to the board design?

Hello Jay,

I'm afraid that I'm not the one to give you a tip in this matter:

- I love playing my IC with the Flexi-Glide,

- I never had a Speed King below my right foot and

- I play heel-down, always - no exception.

Especially the last point made it a little bit strange for me playing the 250S, as it has

no resting base to place the heel on ...

Sorry.

Ralf

This actually helps! I only play heel down for quiet intricate stuff and use more sliding motions and the heel plate always takes away the active sections of the board as I have a 13 foot. It sounds like it may be what I'm looking for. Gonna get one and if it doesn't work $50 isn't the end of the world! Thanks.
