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

2 holes 7/8" apart.

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!

I have a Spaun with a Nickel Works and that plastic piece of crap is going very very soon, it's junk in my opinion. The Trick GS007 multi-step is superior in every way.

Let me know if you want to get rid of that Nickel throw-off. And by the way, for all of you Supraphonic/Acrolite/Black Beauty owners, i have just release a butt retroplate for these snare drums which retrofits the Trick and Nickel butts to these snares. It makes changing your snare wires quite a bit easier than the factory unit which uses a negative blade screwdriver.

Why do they make Nickel works strainers out of Plastic??? I thought Nickel works would be word play on Metalwork. Anyway NW's look the part but I've heard about them breaking a few times. If they made them stronger I would have bought them over the Tricks.

Anyone know if Mapex throw-off's are the same hole-spacing as Ludwig P-85's?

Because it looks like Mapex ripped off the P-85 for their throw-off design.

That sounds ace! My Supraphonic snare has a really worn throw. I'm just getting used to the MM snare PJ made me which has a Trick throw. I have to say, LOVING it!

I did a session yesterday and used the studio snare, it was a lovely deep Brass Premier snare fitted with a black Nickelworks throw(it sounded great so I used it all day for all the tunes). So with this thread in mind I put it through it's paces, and I must concur that it worked beautifully. Zen I think your being just a little harsh with calling it "Junk" and "crap", it certainly isn't that by a mile. Yes I can agree that the Trick has it with anal smoothness, but the NW's look the part and do the job basically as well(never worried me for the entire session). It's preference I guess, I have ordered 3 tricks for my 3 DW snares (DW Delta throws....... now thats what I call crap and junk!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I really now kind of prefer the NW's now seeing them and using them.
