“With Kick Port I can feel the Bass Drum in my body! Then I can play with great projection over my music. I love it!”
Brenden Buckley
"I just set up the KickPort on the bass drum in my studio. It was surprisingly easy to install, and it really sounds great. I can definitely hear and feel the additional low-end."
Jayson Brinkworth
“There is a bass drum BK ( before Kickport ) and AK ( after Kickport ). This thing rocks my world and all of the engineers and sound techs I work with. My kick drums will never be the same, thanks Kickport !!!!”
STEVEN MACQUEEN
Born and raised in Long Island, New York, Steve MacQueen's journey into the world of drumming began at an early age. At just 2 years old, he found himself drawn to the rhythmic beats and mesmerizing sounds of drums, often mimicking the beats he heard in his favorite songs using makeshift drum-kits. Recognizing their son's incredible interest and aptitude for percussion, Steve's parents enrolled him in drumming classes at the tender age of 3.
"I’ve been blown away by the incredible punchy low tones I’m getting with KickPort! As an endorser, I can confidently say that their innovative approach to sound and design really sets them apart in the industry.

“I LOVE IT!! I'm actually using a different head this time. Last time I had an EMAD batter head on. To be honest, I really did not hear much of a difference. However, I'm now using an EQ3 on the batter and I'm really noticing a nice addition to low end body & punch to the sound!! I really like how the KickPort works with his head.”
David Kenneth
"As if my 18x26 kick wasn't already powerful, I found the Kickport, and it has taken the power of my bass drum to a whole new level. Kickport gave my bass drum the low end and attack to crack ribs, and that's exactly what playing in a hard rock band like Sinners Saints demands. To me, the kick drum is just as important to a drummer's sound as his snare, and not having a Kickport is a disservice to your bass drum."
Lou Molino
“With KickPort no eq = fat punchy bottom end like old analog recordings --- nice.
KickPort forecast - RECORD LOWS!”
