Future Percussion Concepts, the people who have brought us the KickPort, are welcoming many new artists to the KickPort family including the talented legends, Kenny Aronoff, Gerry Brown, and Jonathan Moffet.
\"KickPorts add punch, power and low end to your kick drum. They work both live and in the studio. And more specifically… KickPorts will kick your ass, kick it right out of the venue... ;)”
Gerry Brown, who has played with Stevie Wonder and Lionel Ritchie to name a few, states: \"the KickPort is slammin\'!\"
Jonathan Moffet (Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc) is using three KickPorts in his incredible three bass drum set up. Adds Jonathon: \"The KickPort is so sweet I have five of them!\"
Future Percussion Concepts is currently negotiating manufacturing of the KickPort with a large scale company to meet worldwide dealer and distributor demand. As Jesse Bradman, FPC Business Development says:
\"Well… It’s taking a little longer than expected but we want to make it perfect... Since we first showed the KP to the world at the 2009 Winter NAMM show, our plan was to continue with limited California production runs to see how things go. Well, things have really gone and now the challenge is that every time we ramp up our production, we sell even more so we are always behind! It is a great problem to have... but we are really looking forward to when we have large quantities on hand to satisfy all the dealers, artists and distributors that want the product.\"
About the KickPort
The KickPort™ Drum Insert applies subwoofer technology to your bass drum giving you low end you feel, even lower than your ears can hear. Additionally, it adds ideal dampening to the head which allows you to reclaim all that valuable resonant space inside your beautiful drum. So now you are free to remove that giant sleeping pillow choking the vibrations of the shell and replace it with minimal internal dampening.
So what is the result? Simply a much richer tone. You hear your drum speak, and you hear more of its voice.
