Drummer Randy Black, best known for his high-speed, ambidextrous playing with thrash outfit Destruction, has officially joined Czarcie Kopyto as an endorsed artist. The Poland-based pedal maker confirmed that Black will now be using their Supreme Red Black double pedal model as part of his regular setup.
Black’s relationship with drum gear has always been about feel, what connects underfoot, what doesn’t. And this time, it looks like the fit was instant. The veteran Canadian-born drummer, who has logged time with bands like Annihilator and Primal Fear before locking in with Destruction, called the Czarcie Kopyto pedals a level above what he’s used before.
He mentioned not only the build quality but also the comfort, how they sat beneath his feet. The confidence they gave him while playing. For someone who plays at the tempo and precision that Black does, gear choices aren’t just preferences: they’re necessities. The pedals he’s using now are engraved to suit his setup and style, down to the smallest detail.
The company, which has slowly carved out a spot among players who live in the extreme corners of metal, didn’t just grab a random name here. Black has been grinding behind the kit for decades. He’s the kind of drummer who still puts in the work, still tours hard, and still cares about every piece of gear that ends up on his riser. That matters, especially to a brand that trades on precision, reliability, and real-world application.
On his end, Randy Black didn’t hold back. He went public with the announcement and shared his thoughts on social media. He called the pedals stunning and said they gave him a security he hadn’t felt from any other design. After trying out so many options over the years, he found one that felt like home.
Czarcie Kopyto hasn’t flooded the market. They’ve taken a different approach: quiet growth, one drummer at a time. This latest move, adding a player with real weight behind his name, seems like a step toward a broader presence. Not in a flashy, billboard kind of way, but through the kind of credibility that comes from word of mouth among working musicians.
For now, Randy Black is taking his new pedals on the road. Whether on festival stages or in club-sized rooms, the gear will get tested in real time.
