Designed to improve bass drum sound and performance, the patented Bass Plate is modern, easy to use and secure - providing today's drummers with a variety of advances, features and benefits, including:

• The device quickly and securely attaches to any bass drum using the same screws and holes that are used for the two bottom, back tension lugs.
  
• Bass Plate restores the balance and fullness of the bass drum’s sound by removing bass drum pedal from the bass drum hoop, distributing the weight of the drum more evenly and suspending it slightly off the ground.
  
• Bass Plate's exclusive, flat clamping surface and 6 inch width allows drummers to adjust the position of their pedals laterally. Single and double pedal players can place their pedals in the most comfortable playing position while double pedal players can position the beaters of a double bass drum pedal equidistant from the center of the head for a more consistent tone.
  
• Lateral positioning also lets the drummer change the drum's sound independently of the pedal's action.

Bass Plate is currently available in a model that fits eight and ten-lug, 22 inch bass drums. It carries a suggested retail of $69.99 and is compatible with most popular bass drum pedals. A list of compatible pedals is available online at www.bass-plate.com.
