Jeff Klinkefus is an avid drummer living in Southern California. He is also a custom drum rug designer and manufacturer, and inventor of the \"Shackle” drum rug.\"There is currently only a hand full of products available to drummers to resolve the problem. The products that are available have no sense of style in addition, are functionally dysfunctional. I have developed a product that blends style with functionality, customization with simplicity and durability with affordability all in one.\"
Two versions
Wild Rugs has unveiled two versions of the Shackle: both have Velcro straps that are comfortably located to be easy on the user during break down. Both come with one pair of the plastic Velcro stoppers (colors vary), 3” wide strip of Velcro positioned at the rugs tip, to insure no base drum drift during a performance.
The standard 4’ x 4’ size is our most popular version. The second Shackle has all the same features, however larger with an overall size of 6’ x 6’. (This size is a custom order).
Principally designed for live performance use, these rugs can be used in a studio environment as well. The small Shackle weighs 5.5 lbs. and the large weighs in at 9.3 lbs.
Pricing
Manufacturer suggested retail price for the 4’ x 4’ Shackle equipped with two Velcro stoppers is $79.95 and is available with a red or white vinyl piping. The 6’ x 6’ size is available with a wide variety of colors for the piping along the border and holds a suggested retail price of $129.95.
