Like the flight-cased BC2 and lightweight, streamlined Gigster, the BC2rm system also includes Porter & Davies’s patented transducer-loaded drum throne.

The new 19" Rack Mount Format delivers Stealth Monitoring technology that enables you to hear your drums internally via the company's innovative Bone Conduction techniques (thus the BC name, although it may also refer to the working title BumChum).

Technical director/designer Tim Porter explains:

"The engine shapes the signal and the seat delivers it right inside your body and head. The brief for the BC2rm was very simple. Make a BC2 in a 19" rack-mount format – otherwise don't change a thing. So, I did a complete redesign of the internal layout while keeping all the superb musical character-istics of the original BC2. Everything – internal cabling, connectors and even the individual components – was retained, but remodeled to fit the slim-line case. "

Because they are tactile monitors and do not require any speakers whatsoever – just the control unit and the transducer-loaded drum throne – Porter & Davies BC monitor systems eliminate the need for onstage monitor subs, though a wedge or ideally, IEMS (in-ears) are recommended for other instruments the drummer wants to hear.

According to Tim, this makes any BC model ideal for the studio or the smallest of stages but also great for festivals and stadium-size gigs.

Porter & Davies' BC2 and BC Gigster personalized drum monitoring system in a compact design garnered good reviews in the media and endorsements from top drummers including John Tempesta, Gavin Harrison, John "JR" Robinson and Ray Luzier. Concludes Tim:

"The BC concept is a game changer. Drummers tell us they can't live without it."
