Ding Bats or NimRods

[fignewton]

Weill the compact Fig kit needs to get more compact.
Has anyone tried these? Does Pintech need me to demo these?
I like the Dingbat because on the compact size? but it has like 4 inch playing surface?
Then there is the Nimrod?
Decisions Decisions....

The Dingbat, in my opinion, is the better one. Because of the way it mounts, I found it harder to get the small Nimrod mounted in a place that made it easy to strike.

1 vote for the Dingbat....the 'Bat was my first Pintech purchase. It has led to many more.

For lack of a better word....Is the Dingbat an easy target?
Does the smaller size make it harder to aim for?
I would mainly use it for a bell of a ride, etc.

Pulled the trigger and ordered 2 of the dingbats.

from terryleebolton.com (I kid you not..)
Terry Lee Bolton hails from the streets of Detroit. He is a gifted singer, songwriter, guitarist,
drummer, bassist, percussionist, entertainer, engineer, producer and more. Cutting his teeth
on rock radio in the Motor City gave him a very diverse direction for his music. Terry's musical
life began at the age of three, as a drummer and percussionist, which has allowed him to put an
amazing amount of backbone into his music. His music has rocked not only Nashville and
Detroit, but Canada and all over the World.

Combining rock, southern rock, blues, pop, and Detroit soul, he slaps it in a blender and hits
grind. Terry then drives his music in the direction he's always been moving in. Straight forward
without ever turning back.

Terry Lee Bolton's Musical influences span the globe of rock n roll. Queen, Sweet, Styx, Rush,
Angel, Thin Lizzy, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, ZZ-Top, David Bowie, Aerosmith, Kiss, Cheap
Trick and Led Zeppelin are just a few of the great artists that have infused Terry's music.

Terry has opened shows for Aerosmith, Triumph, Aldo Nova, Warren Zevon, Ratt, Mitch Ryder,
Kim Mitchell, Black Oak Arkansas, Big House, Pam Tillis, Joe Perry and many more.
