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


I am a propellor-head too. Ordered one in the US after I read the enthousiastic NAMM reports last year on several sites and must have been the first in Holland to have gotten one. Rather disappointing. I had to stick foam tape on my reso to avoid rattling of the thing. I think it takes away low end because the resohead can't move freely. No succes on a SQ2 or SClassix BD.

One of the most compelling reasons I continue to play Sonor (aside from the tremendous customer care) is the sound of their bass drums. It is hard for me to imagine being able to improve upon it, in the sense of: What would be the purpose?

What is a snare port? On which side of the drum is it mounted? Surely not the snare side, but then... :? :? :?

Looks like it would have been easier for them just to ask for our money, without offering any products... ;)

okay okay....I got one :roll:
But..it was free. Been sitting there in the package for 2 years now. Because I just don't want a big whole like that in my reso.

So it's for sale. 300 shipped anywhere on the continental planet. Hell, for a little more I'll even ship outside of Earth. Sorry but the paper work has to be ridiculous on interplanet shipping.
