The PoleCat percussion system is a four-inch-wide polyurethane base comprised of fibreglass for strength with a flexible insert sleeve sitting at the centre which holds the post of a percussion stand by tightening an accompanying wing bolt. To be used, the base is screwed into a piece of plywood that the drummer would travel with.

Instead of taking the time to set up numerous percussion stands, a drummer would lay down pieces of plywood with the PoleCat base or bases already attached. The post of the percussion stand is simply slipped into the sleeve and tightened. Watch this quick introduction video:

Scott says:

"All drummers find setting up a drum kit with the traditional tri-pod base tedious and time consuming. I moved beyond just thinking about the problem in 1995 after noticing the construction of a handrail of a ladder at a local swimming pool. I made a prototype with the help of friends and tweaked the idea on and off for years."

Now he and his wife are confident that they have created a product that will solve this age-old problem.
