 Trick Snare Throw-off
Any body ever used a Trick snare throw-off? Hard to install? I was thinking about buying one

No I haven't but I've been wanting to. Maybe one of these days I'll order one. They look like they work similarly to the Trick.

Most of my snares have the Trick Throwoff retro-fitted.
It's the best throw-off I've ever had the pleasure of using. The EGO throwoff looks great, but I have not tried one.

The Trick throw-off is the throw-off of the future. Think about this; the throw-off and snare wires are what makes the snare drum unique and in the past fifty years, not much has changed in the one thing that make the snare drum work. Along comes Trick and out of necessity, develops something which has never been seen before. Moreso, it is extremely durable, pretty lightweight. I sell a lot of the Trick conversion kits and none have ever come back and I have had no complaints.
Every other throw-off on the market is pretty much old technology and why would Ludwig or Pearl change at this point; they are still making money off their own proprietary designs.
Trick really broke the mold on this one.

im looking on their website and it seems pretty "snazzy" but what makes it so revolutionary other than being of higher quality and better designed? it still does pretty much the same thing doesn't it?

Most throw offs have two settings, on and off, the Trick can be adjusted all the way around the motion of the lever.

Unless you are either talking about the multi-step or have a technique that I am not aware of, I have found that this is the case. What makethe TRick (Nickel) is that they are a more modern design whereas the DW throw-off is the old Gladstone design which is at least fifty years old. Just last night, I was playing on one of my DW snares which I retroplated three years ago with a Nickelworks throw-off in the exact same venue as three years ago. It just amazed me how much of a difference these throw-offs make and this is due to their being more adjustable (?) in their design. And just as a sidenote, those DW throw-offs are why you see so many DW snares for sale on Ebay and craigslist; the factory throw-off doesn't have the senstivity that these modern models offer.

Trick throws for me are ugly as sin, but boy they're the smoothest of all on the market.

BUT, with a retro-plate they will fit damn near anything without alteration of the drum... see Skitch about that.
I personally like the 4 position Tricks myself. REALLY useful!
