KickportKickport Bass Drum Sound Enhancer Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Kickport’s black bass drum sound enhancer installs in a resonant-head port hole. Its design ports the drum in the manner described for a bass-reflex speaker cabinet, amplifying low frequencies while focusing the exiting air for a natural compression effect and added punch. Damping is applied at the resonant head, which can let you remove most internal muffling. Adjust the resonant-head tuning to tune the insert up or down across its 16- to 28-inch range.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refining low-end response and punch while retaining access to resonant-head tuning adjustments.
- Replacing most internal bass drum muffling with damping applied at the resonant head.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bass drums whose resonant head has no port hole for installation.
