    The Tri-hat is pretty cool. Just one of those Sabian oddities from a golden age when they were constantly innovating and experimenting. They were the ones pushing the envelope back before Meinl kinda started to take that mantle. The Max stax was one of if not the first stack that was intended to be used as such, they were also the first to purposely put large holes in a cymbal to change the the sound.

    To note on that Tri-pedal... the "white pads" are to face the head. 🙃
    I think, if you had a double base drum and set it up on the left foot, and put a single on the right, you could use the right as normal, and then go heavy when applying the left.

    you should do a whole video on that triple hi hat and as many cymbal swap combos on it that you can come up with. i saw dom famularo in clinic promoting these when they came out, and all i could think was how cool it would be to put a 18 sabian jia chinese on the bottom. the cymbal choice isn't as much out of date as it is just not very good. so much potential. they should have made a cable version too, as they're just a little too whacky to have as a main set.

    Those are neat.
    I had a Mapex Janus double pedal and transmission hi-hat all-in-one thing. It was neat. Pedals were super sluggish, and it's substantially more cumbersome in transport. It didn't add anything, but rather subtracted a footboard. I ended up selling it because I needed the money for other gear, otherwise I'd still have it for funsies.
    There was a Gemini 241 (two for one, get it?) double single at a local music store when I was a kid. I think it came out slightly before the Dualist. The heel plate was the drive for the left beater. A salesman at the store bet me $20 that I couldn't play it because I was some dumb young kid and none of the kids could figure it out. I sat down and played it. He was mad that I played heel down, which is required to play the pedal. I told him to keep his money and stop being a jerk as my payment. If you want to play it as a single pedal, then play heel up. If you want to play it as a double pedal, then play heel down.

    Not the one you demo'd in the video, but the other heel-toe pedal you mentioned before the dualist pedals, I think would actually work incredibly well as a single pedal by blocking the normal pedal so it can't move and only using the heel pedal. I honestly think I'd have much more power and accuracy playing that way, just being able to keep the front of my foot planted and just dropping my heel down, kinda like how people shake their legs. Your top possible speed/bpm would go down as a result of not being able to do like heel-toe, but that's something I'd trade off tbh, and it's not like you'd be ridiculously slow either.
