I wonder if they're stupid enough to make this in brown...
How would you put your band's logo on that thing?
I would be afraid that the sound would be trapped behind the head on its way out the front. And like any port isn't the dead middle the worst place to put one. I will tell you this The KickPort works. Installed one on my Gretsch, see avatar, and it booms.
I would think the company that made this cone-style one has done some research. It would be interesting to hear some sound samples.

Im going to have to assume if they brought this thing to market, it probably sounds pretty cool.
I like the idea, horns do efficiently transmit sound

I guess if there is an advantage to it they could make one with an acoustically transparent mesh head over the damn ugly thing.
it kind of resembles what Alex Van Halen used to do to his bass drum reso heads.

I think it looks really cool, actually. Makes the kick look like a giant sub whoofer. I'd love to hear two identical bass drums, one with a regular resonant head and another w/ one of these monsters on it.
