Hi Trak drums ever used that type of lug..Back in the late 1980s I sold Paiste drums new sets 6 ply breech wood shells--top line was Paiste drums- the lower end were Trak drums 6 ply shells..Both of these drums were made by pearl for Paiste to sell in the u.s...If i can[i'am still trying to post photos on the site]]I still have the lugs that were used on Paiste and trak drums...Mikey

I think the Jack$$$ comment is way out there and not called for here IMO. That vintage cocktail bass pedal is worth some cash (atleast to me - please sell it to me when you`re tired of it!)

I just want to throw in - don`t those lugs look a bit like those old REMO 1980s kit lugs?

Hi 510.That lug in question,,is a Pearl for sure,why you ask tonight in my shop,looked in the box of odd lugs,and i have the lug in question in my hand,Pearl on the inside of lug.If i recall right Pearl used these from 1980-82 on the "export" drums they made..I will try later today to post a photo or two of the lug...Mikey

Mikey..check your PMs please

Mystery Solved! Mikey, you nailed it and thank you! I removed a lug and PUT MY GLASSES ON, and sure enough those symbols that I thought were little part #s were the word Pearl. This word was so off center I had to remove the little rubber damper but as it came into focus, Pearl.

Let me complement you on your sharp memory Mikey, remembering no re-rings and such, impressive.

OsakaBop, “You Sir have a fine eye for quality” (spoken in a Ray Charles in the “Blues Brothers” voice) and seriously it is a rare pedal that was in the trash with the drums I salvaged. This pedal is adjustable in every way (a very good players pedal) and the height/drum size rod just happened to be perfect for mounting it to the Cocktail drum.

You guys are the best, thank you for taking the time for my “lowly” Cocktail kit.

OsakaBop, That is the comment that prompted me to post this thread called "Trap Set Pioneers" in the "Vintage Drum" area.

Hi 510..Thanks for the kind words,i guess after 30+ years restoring vintage drums Ia'm a walking book about them..Also feel free to P.M. or ask questions on the forum..Thanks again Mikey

Thanks for trying, man.

Found one just today.

Sorry if i offended you, but i thought you just picked this up off some kid or something and were wondering what it was. I didnt know you actually made it to look like that.
