Getting the MOST out of The KickPort TM Drum Insert (Pat Pending)

For years drummers have been stuffing pillows, blankets, foam and other materials to provide dampening with the objective of achieving better definition and punch. In doing so, the natural resonance of the drum is sacrificed in two ways: One, anything coming in contact with the shell chokes the tone, and two, the internal dampening materials reduce the resonant space.

The KickPort Drum Insert is designed to enhance the sound of your drum by doing three things simultaneously:

1. It ports the kick drum in the same manner of a bass reflex speaker cabinet which boosts low frequencies.

2. It adds ideal dampening directly to the resonant head which allows you to remove most if not all of the internal materials thus reclaiming all of the natural resonance and tone of your drum.

3. The KickPort focuses the air as it exits the kick drum and this compression increases punch.The overall result is more lows, more tone, better definition and more punch in varying acoustical environments. Additionally these are benefits the drummer can feel behind the kit. We recommend that dampening materials touch the batter head only.

We also recommend the use of a reinforcement ring around hole. Note that the KickPort works in 5” to 5.5” inch hole. We prefer a 5 ¼ inch hole but note that hole size should NOT affect the sound. Lastly but importantly – try moving the KickPort around in the hole. The tone will vary slightly depending on position within the hole. Find the sweet spot!

The KickPort Drum Insert has been used with great results by drummers utilizing many different drum and head combinations. See drummer setup profiles coming soon at www.fpcdrums.com.
