Strong match

Who this is for

  • Adding a mic port to a bass drum resonant head
  • Cleaning up a ragged hole cut by hand
  • Keeping a cut head from tearing further at the edge

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers who want a fully sealed, un-ported bass drum
  • Anyone unwilling to cut their resonant head
  • Players needing a hole size other than 6 inches

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Bass Drum O's Bass Drum O Port Ring Black 6 in. construction detail

Detail 01

6 in. diameter

Large enough to fit a mic inside the drum. Check it against your head diameter and mic body before cutting.

Detail 02

Port ring, not a head

It trims a hole you cut yourself. The bass drum head is separate.

Detail 03

Black finish

Blends into a black or clear resonant head. On a white or coated head it reads as a deliberate accent.

Detail 04

Ported resonant head

A port lets air escape, shortening sustain and tightening the low end compared to a sealed front head.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01You must cut the hole yourself — the ring only finishes the edge
  2. 02No bass drum head included
  3. 03Cutting is permanent; measure and center before you start

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this come with the hole already cut?

No. You cut the hole in your resonant head, then fit the ring around the edge to finish and reinforce it.

02Where should I position the port?

Off-center, low on the head, is the common placement. It keeps the mic out of the beater path and away from the hoop.

03How does a port change the sound?

Venting air shortens sustain and tightens the attack. A sealed head gives more resonance and boom.

04Is 6 inches big enough for a microphone?

Six inches clears most standard kick mics. Check the width of your mic and any shock mount before cutting.
