I have not been playing the Caroline since 1981, since the classic Tamco is much lighter. I have been playing it from 1969 till 1981 : easy going piece of gear, not as fast as Czarcie Kopytos , but who would want ? You should try the Cobra hack; i feel no need for it, but who knows? I left Axis bc ...

Would definitely not be un upgrade, according to the ones around... Welcome, though :cocktail: Edit: Back to english lessons. Thks, Pr. Soft. Cheers! Why not an upgrade vs the stock hinge heel of a Tama? Really interested to find peoples opinions “fer or again’ it” I figure, since I love the strap ...

Thinking of Frankensteining one together out of a 1st Gen Tama Speed Cobra. Ive got a Camco as well that I retrofitted with FlexiGlide parts but the hex rod is pitted & only accomodates the main beater in a certain position. Since independent beater/footboard adjustment is something I must have,...

Anyone have any advice for me converting Tama Speed Cobras heel hinge to the famous Floating Heel of a ASBA Caroline? There's very little out there on them, nothing to speak of on YouTube that shows them being played or the importance of the Floating Heel. For such an apparently beloved feature it d...

Good day, batterers, drummers & "musicians". I'm an Amercian drummer, 20+ yrs of playing mostly Metal, with a Swing/Jazz influence but never stayed w one style or really learned. I created an account here to get info & advice on creating my own ASBA Caroline pedal, but I'll probabl...
