I like the odd but this just seems odd for odd sake.

Odd for odd sake wouldn’t be a bad tagline for Trixon ads but that looks to be a free floater with the wrong description


Edit. Just looked at Trixon’s website. It doesn’t seem that they have an english speaker on staff, but the pic from the bottom head doesn’t show any hardware in the shell so free floater adds up

Looks like an upside down free-floater. Nothing to see here -- keep moving.

I think they better fire their installer!

I'm thinking its got 3 heads....or its slotted just not in the center.

It's a free floater in the style of many marching snare drums.
