You are absolutely correct! The Trixon's had a wooden divider that was adjustable to divide the shell into a big half and smaller half that you would use two bass drum pedals on, giving you the sound of two different size drums. It was a sound theory, but didn't pan out so well in practice. My best friend had an original red sparkle Trixon Speedfire, and it was very cool to look at, but the shell composition and hardware were VERY basic. It felt like someone squashed a beginner kit into a weird shape. The main complaints I'm reading about the Vox re--ssue kit basically say the hardware is garbage, to include the lug casings and rims. That's sad too, because at that price you can buy a KILLER Tama Starclassic. Anyhoo, thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Why is this drumkit shipped with only one single pedal? The basic idea of the Trixon Drum company was to have two bassdrum sounds with only one bassdrum. A lower sound one the right side and a higher sound on the left. The original Trixon Speedfire was shipped with two pedals.

I had read that the original reason for the bass drum shape on the old Trixon Vox kits in the 60's was so that you could set up your pedal in different spots to get different sounds and tunings out of the same drum. I've never had a chance to play one, so I can't confirm personally.

Very kool, for everyone asking, the original had a piece of wood inside of the bass drum separating the two uneven sides of the bass drum. You would attach two pedals, one on each side so you basically had two different bass drums. The snare had a mount that attached to the actual bass drum so that there wouldn’t be a snare stand in your way of the two pedals! Lucky man for getting your hands on this kit! The hardware makes me sad though. Especially since there’s not even a memory lock on the cheap looking tom are. Which looks like it’s got gears so you can’t get it exactly where you want it. Still though I’ve always wanted one of these!

I've slapped decent heads on a cheap GAMMON kit, and made it sound bad ass. Soooo.....A+ for unique style. Let's ROCK & ROLL!!!..........Now where is my TAMA's? 🤘🏼😉🥁
