SOUND.BETTER.

For The Drummer & The Audience:• Playing with a KickPort® is a difference you can FEEL & hear in

the audience, as well as on recordings.

• PLUS, it’s a difference you feel BEHIND the drums. Play without one; then, with your KickPort. Can you feel it?

For Best Results:• Start with a new, uncut resonant bass drum head or precut head

with hole sized 5” - 5.25” of 7.5ml or thicker

Note: For 7.5ml, use a T-Ring™ for both the interior and exterior of resonant head for best results.

• Apply the T-Ring™ template/reinforcement ring to the exterior of the head

• Install the KickPort according to the instructions on the product packaging

• Be certain that the rubber collar is completely “popped” into place against the interior of the resonant head to secure the KickPort

Tips & Tricks:• Use a sharp X-acto® or Leatherman® straight edge cutting tool

when installing on a new, uncut head

• Install when the head is already mounted and tuned on the bass drum

• Microphones should be placed outside or flush to the edge of the KickPort to properly capture the full range of the output - adjust proximity & gain structure to personal preferences

• KickPort works with all brands of bass drum microphones and also a Yamaha SubKick™ (or similar device); however, do not obstruct the air flow convection through the KickPort.

Available from Fine Retailers & Online:KickPort products are available through Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend, Sam Ash, Sweetwater, and other fine musical instrument retailers worldwide. Visit www.KickPort.com for worldwide distributor listings and artist information.

The award-winning patented design of the KickPort® results in superior tone, depth, and precision that you can feel! This results in less need for stuffing your bass drum and more ability to choose your heads and microphones for the tone of your kit.
