The Black Swamp Multi-Bass solves a common problem among percussionists when dealing with multi-percussion pieces - "Where am I gonna fit a bass drum?" Huge concert bass drums used to be a necessary evil, but that all changed with Black Swamp's innovative designs. This new instrument sounds great, is easy to carry around, fits easily into any setup, and looks fantastic.
The most functional feature on the Multi-Bass is the addition of telescoping legs - attached directly to the shell, the drum can be played flat or tilted at a height comfortable to the player. The hoops are low-profile so that accidental stick and rim clicks are less likely to happen, while the tension rods are attached to the hoops through hoop lugs rather than claws, which have a tendency to wiggle around and damage the hoop. The Arch tuning lugs match the design of upper-tier Black Swamp drums. The Multi-Bass comes equipped with two Evans EQ3 Bass heads that can withstand being played on with sticks, mallets, or beaters. This drum will fit in a 14" x 20" case.
The standard finish is a professional Concert Black, but an exotic Figured Anigre finish is available at an additional price.
