i have never tried a Willy wheel but I would like to. I had the Lockerbie
motorized kick but it was so heavy I couldn't move it to clean up in our
small studio. We have them at Sheridan and they are not favourited by the
students but used by me. The willy has a sensible splash pan which appeals
to me. We also have a Soldner at school which is supposed to be the Cadillac
and the students expect me to claim it. I don't. Lockerbie kick for most
things and the Pacifica for bigware.
If I were buying again I'd likely consider the Willy.
cheers,
