Trick Drums U.S.A. is a Chicago-area percussion manufacturer based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, founded in 1990 by Mike Dorfman. The company machines its drum hardware from solid billet aluminum to aerospace-grade tolerances, and it is best known for reengineering the bass drum pedal around an internal compression-spring mechanism rather than the traditional expansion spring.
The brand's flagship is the Pro1-V bass drum pedal, available in single and double configurations and in ShortBoard and BigFoot longboard variants, along with the heavier-duty Dominator pedal. Beyond pedals, Trick builds a full catalog of precision drum hardware — hi-hat stands, snare throw-offs, drive shafts, Dead Blow beaters, retrofit driveshafts for DW pedals — and produces aluminum-shelled snares and kits, including the Kodiak snare line.
Trick's niche is speed-oriented, high-precision metal hardware aimed at drummers who want tight response and durability, and it has a particular following among metal and extreme-speed players. The company maintains an active artist roster at trickdrumsartists.com.
Trick has 10 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Bass Drum Pedals and Drum Set Accessories. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Electronic. Notable users include Art Cruz, Conor Sullivan, and Tomas Haake.
