This throw off has an adjustable friction mechanism that won’t vibrate loose during hard playing. The main perk of this throw off is its multi-step action. The tension lever stops at three positions, and allows you to experiment with more tonal options. The drummers here at Sweetwater especially liked experimenting with different tension levels before cycling through the multi-step mechanism. Included with the throw off is a matching Trick butt plate. The Trick Drums GS007AM Throw Off and Butt Plate will look great on your Trick snare or provide a welcome upgrade to any other snare in your collection.Trick Drums GS007 Multi-step Throw Off Features: Replacement throw off for your Trick snare, or an upgrade to another in your collection Multi-step level allows you to

I bought this to replace the factory throw off on a Ludwig snare that came with my kit. The snare itself is good, but the throw off was junk. This was the upgrade I was hoping for! Came with everything I needed to install. I did have to slightly drill out one of my holes to get everything to line up. No big deal, just be careful! This thing is buttery smooth and I love the sound with all three different tensions. Couldn't be happier with it!

There is a reason it costs a bit more-it’s excellentEverything is well machined. If you go to the Trick site and read the history, the founder is also a chronic machinist nerd. As Mike T. commented, multiple positions are more useful in an orchestral setting. I use it on my Ludwig Superphonic 6.5x14 snare and I often switch between settings for sticks, brushes and mallets…the right texture for the right song…sometimes in a few measures. I can do complete-full snare drops and retracts without a sound, smooth as butter, right to position.Note: On the Ludwig snares the alignment is not 100% spot on. There is a guy out there who sells a terrific adapter that won a NAAM award (you have to look it up.) This way, you don’t have to do any drilling.Maybe somebody has a better drop-off, I don’t know, but you get a whole lot of “saves the day” for the money. This unit near perfect as anything I’ve ever touched and it feels and looks really, really cool…sorry. I went with chrome, but the black is super bad!

Excellent throw-off. Well made, smooth, and easy to use. Exceeded expectations. However, for cost it should b shipped with the longer attachment bolts in case u will need them. Mine was very difficult to attach to shell bc the bolts were barely long enough. Otherwise good purchase.

One of these came stock on my older model Craviotto Unlimited, and i was so taken with the design and craftsmanship that I specified one for a custom snare drum that I had built. The throw-off is low mass and so well constructed that one has to marvel at the design and manufacturing. However, for the price point you have to ask yourself if it has any real-life value other than a cool factor. There is nothing wrong with that, but bear in mind that if you are planning to specify it for a new snare drum build it is going to add a premium price to the final price.Price aside, the key question is do you need the multi-step positioning of the throw? I play jazz and some blues and have yet to use (or even need) that feature in a playing situation.On the other hand, if you are an orchestral drummer I am betting that you can make a strong, logical case. That makes this throw an essential feature on a custom made snare drum or a lightweight, super reliable replacement of a Nickelworks or the heavy Dunnett R Class throws. I have had too many problems with the Nickelworks and truly dislike the weight of the Dunnett throws, so in that respect this is a viable alternative - and the better designed and built one in my opinion. Also, the hole pattern for all three will work. Be aware that while the hold patterns are interchangeable, where the throw-off you are replacing is located on the shall makes a difference. You need to factor in the distance the throw travels when disengaging and make sure you have sufficient room. I ran into this problem when replacing a Nickelworks throw which was installed relatively low on the shell. This Trick fit the holes, but would not clear the hoops (which were wood.)Bottom line: this is definitely the Rolls-Royce of throws, but it comes with a Rolls price tag too. If you need the features then grab it because you are unlikely to find another brand and model that is multi-step.
