They're making snare and tom tom ports in addition to the kick port. This will go on my to NOT buy list for sure. I've always been against a port hole in my bass drum, but snare and toms?

Exactly! The drum industry is becoming a joke to me, I won't buy anything unless it's ground breaking incredible.

Looks to me like the work of someone with a 'brain port'. :?

My Friends,
I'm just a little embarrassed (actually, I felt like a complete dipschitt)to admit that I bought two of the bass drum ports direct when they first came out. Stupidest money I've ever spent. Saying that the drumport works like a speaker port is utter nonsense. While I love the sound of my 24" Lite bass drum, I've never been super-happy with the sound of my 22" Sonorlite kicks, so I was willing to try them. They were like $40.00 each plus shipping, and I believe the only thing they might improve the sound of would be the wazoo of the the guy who sold them to me, after I shove them into the orifice where they truly belong! :evil:

:lol: :lol: :lol: The faces of this company everytime they ship one of these!

Your humble (make that humiliated) consumer reporter,
:ugeek: Brian
