darfin Registered: 11/19/07 Loc: Florida	Dang, that's a lot. But considering what it is I'd definitely spend my money on it. It looks promising.

They just had it flipped to the side with less rubber. edit: Gernads, might have to do with stick angles/rimshots, like Vic's Exactopad. Edited by bltsponge (09/09/08 07:04 PM)

The two strips at ~5 and 7 o'clock are for rim shots. The strip at 12 o'clock is for dimenuendo rolls from the center out toward the edge. The strip at ~2 o'clock is, I believe, an alternate dimenuendo roll path -- directly over the snares for slightly more snare response as the volume drops. _________________________ /\ "Make mine matched!
