Trixon Speedfire

Dream Drums = Trixon Drums.
The ellipsoidal bass drum, dubbed the "Speedfire" was designed to be fitted with two bass drum pedals side-by-side. The interior of the drum was divided into two sections, and the unique shape of the shell allowed each pedal to produce a different pitch.

Basically this German Karl-Heinz Weimer invented double bass back in the 50's! Name the most notable band to play them you ask? THE fuckin' MUMMIES, duh. Stronger Than Dirt!
