In a two-year development partnership Pearl and ButtKicker's Guitammer Company designed the Throne Thumper so drummer could actually feel low frequencies like the thump of the bass drum when sound levels make them difficult to hear.

The Throne Thumper clamps to any drummer's throne and is said to work with all brands of electronic drums, and miked acoustic drums.

Terry West, President of Pearl Drums, says:

"The response to the Throne Thumper by our artists has been nothing short of amazing. Mike Mangini with Dream Theater and Eric Singer, drummer with the legendary hard rock band KISS, are the first of many artists using the Throne Thumper on tour this year."

According to Terry, Pearl's Throne Thumper is especially suited for the house of worship market where the drummer's sound level and the entire stage volume is very controlled.

Ken McCaw, founder of the Guitammer Company, states:

" For years as a working drummer, I was constantly aware of the difficulties of hearing my bass drum, especially as the acoustic environment changed from stage-to-stage. ButtKickers were designed to end that problem by allowing drummers to feel the impact from their drums, literally in their bodies, without the stage volume having to be loud."

The Throne Thumper is a more economical solution for the studio, professional and recreational drummer.

The Throne Thumper is powered by a 200 watt ButtKicker amp and is a good companion to Pearl's e-Pro Live electronic drum set.
