ASBA drums

I had a French ASBA kit in the late seventies, it looked like this:
Now as I've just found information about the good old thing at
http://drumarchive.com/asba/
and
http://www.asbadrums.com/
, I wonder if any of you had experience with this brand.

I've never heard of or seen one of these kits before. Interesting hardware.

They are quite rare. More common in Europe.
The most famous ASBA thing is the Caroline bass drum pedal.
I've never played a kit. They supposedly sound great.
Most of the product was French made wood shell, although they did have an acrylic line, and you see the odd steel shell kit too.

I bought the kit by accident: when I first needed a good kit for a prospectively good band that I started to play with, this was the only one of proper quality available in the nearest shop. I loved its look and sound, so I bought it.
Now I regret that I let it go later (I bought a car for the money I got, shamefully enough) - I should have kept it just like I kept my Paiste 602 hi-hats back and stored them in a cupboard for 25 years.
As for the Caroline pedal, now I see on the ASBA site how precious and inventive it was, but that time I didn't find it too convenient, I used my good old Premier 250 instead... Now I wish I could try that Caroline again.
