Porter & Davies' BC2 and BC Gigster garnered rave reviews in the media and endorsements from top drummers including Gavin Harrison, John "JR" Robinson and Ray Luzier.

The new Porter & Davies BC2rm includes the BC control unit and P&D's patented transducer-loaded drum throne.

Like the flight-cased BC2 and lightweight, streamlined Gigster, the BC2rm delivers Stealth Monitoring that enables you to hear your drums internally via the company's innovative Bone Conduction technology (thus the BC name).

Technical director and designer Tim Porter explains:

"The unit shapes the sound, the seat delivers it. The brief for the BC2rm was very specific: make a BC2 in a 19" rack-mount format – otherwise don’t change a thing."

To make that happen Porter did a complete redesign of the internal layout while keeping all the musical characteristics.

Everything – internal cabling, connectors and even the physical size of the individual components – was re-evaluated and adjusted or improved to fit the thin-line case.

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

The BCR2rm retails for £999 (inc. vat) including the Porter and Davies throne top. US retail is $1299.

Porter & Davies will be at the 2013 Winter NAMM show (Hall D Stand 2879) in Anaheim, California in January.
