"The best bass drum mute I’ve ever used, period! The feel is outstanding… perfect bounce/squish ratio. The design is genius… easily add or take away the amount of mute you want. But most importantly, when I A/B’d my old (pillow mute) recorded bass drum against the new 'Kicker' muted bass drum, the difference was apparent. It added low end and punch without adding muddiness. Also, cleaned up the clacky high end, unwanted beater noise."
