LOL yeah, but do you have an endorsement deal like he does? No? Me neither. I change mine once a year. Probably should do it twice a year, but given the fact that I have 6 rack toms and 2 floor toms, most of which are an inch increment apart, it makes for a time-consuming and money consuming process. Depends on how much you play and how hard you hit as well. And the brand and model for that matter.

Erm, when you play upwards of 250bpm 16ths on the double kick, you NEED triggers or it will sound like grade A crap, no matter what drummer is sitting on the stool. If you want to hear him play without triggers on his kicks, go listen to the Burn Out song he did: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLKVYNSn2N-bYYU.html Yup, one trick pony.

They're like any other Axis pedal with a different tuning system and built in triggers. Like was said, if you're not used to direct drive get ready to relearn how to play. These pedals are also very light.

TheAsomeGuitarist A non ported kick feels a lot different than a ported kick. Not common these days, mostly everyone ports. It has an old school sound/rebound to it and was much more prominent with jazz players. He does have a pillow, however, to deaden things up. I for one use a coated ambassador on my bass drum with absolutely no dampening.
