In addition to combining a net-like configuration of hook-and-loop (velcro) material with a strong, durable but lightweight, 600 denier nylon fabric, the Black Widow is anchored by gravity and the weight of the drummer on his or her throne.

According to Bob Hyams, drummer and inventor of the drum web, this combination of features keeps any acoustic, electronic or hybrid drum set stationary and secure. Explains Bob:

"As its name implies, the Black Widow's web immobilizes the drumset. At the same time, by simplifying and streamlining set-up, tear-down and transport, it gives the drummer more mobility than any rug, carpet or mat on the market."

The Drum Web's strength is inversely complemented by its ability to quickly fold into its compact, 12x15 inch carrying case that can travel by itself or in a drum case. The Black Widow also protects all types of floors plus it's liquid, wear and tear resistant and it cleans up with just a little soap and water.

The Black Widow Drum Web carries a suggested retail price of $99.95 and is available at leading local and online drumshops.
