The MuffBites open up a wide range of possibilities for unique damping effects. The black felt rim, combined with the beautiful vintage cord fabric, covers about a third of the head and thus preserves the natural drum sound. The Magnetic RimMount system holds the MuffBites securely in position on the rim and also allows them to be used on the resonance side of the drum. They reduce overtones, minimise sustain and ensure a more precise and drier sound. Three metal clamps are supplied for use on die-cast tyres.

After more than 4 years of development, inventor Sam Millender presented the KickPort, which has redefined the bass drum sound with its sensational properties. The principle and effect of the KickPort is similar to that of a bass reflex tube. Bass reflex tubes are used in high-quality hi-fi loudspeakers and subwoofers to produce or amplify lower frequencies (the so-called low end).The KickPort gives the bass drum a deeper, fatter and warmer sound. The gain in sound is really impressive! The frequency range in which the KickPort should work can be influenced by tuning the front head. The KickPort can be used with all head combinations and can be fitted or removed in a few simple steps. By using the KickPort, additional damping material in the bass drum can be largely dispensed with. The KickPort was honoured with the title "Best in Show" at the NAMM Show 2009!
The versatile, single-ply tom skin is ideal for open tunings thanks to its broad overtone spectrum. Due to its versatility, it can be used both as a percussion and resonance head. The coated version of the G1 is also very popular as a snare head, as it produces a very open snare sound without damping.With the PrePacks, we provide all drummers with head combinations that are specially tailored to their musical style. On the back of each PrePack we also provide our well-known tuning tips plus "Sound Spectrum" graphics for snare, tom and bass drum heads. So you can easily find the right head for the sound you want.
The two layers give the head its fat, crisp attack. As the head has no other types of damping, the sound has sufficient overtones. The enormous versatility of the G2 Coated heads also allows them to be used as snare heads.
