Do you know the common point between the album BAD of Michael Jackson and Mitch Mitchell the drummer of Jimi Hendrix?
The Caroline, arguably the most famous bass drum pedal in the history of drums! Invented by ASBA in 1965, reissued this year. The Caroline pedal is intimately linked to Daniel Humair, this great international jazz player. It is to him that we owe the creation of the famous Caroline pedal in the 60s, which was a worldwide success (the name also pays tribute to his daughter). Thus, in just a few months, it conquered the world of drums with its revolutionary innovations. Sold under Ludwig licenses in the USA, it has conquered the hearts of the greatest drummers ... The pedal is sold in tens of thousands of copies and quickly becomes the reference in terms of speed, precision, and comfort of play and settings .
To make Caroline's heart beat again, it took more than a year of titanic but fascinating work.
