Now that David uploaded the Orange catalog scans, I was able to see more about Orange drums than I was able to find anywhere previously. The pedal I used for my Cocktail drum is an Orange, and you can compare the catalog photo at the link below with the photo of my drum’s pedal to see how well it adapted to it’s new task.

I spun the base bracket 180 degrees and re-attached the beater strap to pull from the opposite side, and then adjusted the beater to hit upward better. The final adjustment was to twist the beater to about a 45 degree angle from the foot pedal itself.

It works just fine and is a tribute to the adjustability of this versatile pedal.

I know my drum is ugly and hope it doesn't offend anyone!Laughing H
