Pull the Rug Out from Under Your Pedals
One of the most common problems that drummers face is the sliding bass drum and/or hi-hat stand. While drum rugs can certainly nip this issue in the bud, Gary Benson and KickStrap are here to propose an alternative solution. The eponymously named KickStrap is a sleek, compact pedal anchor that prevents your kick drum, hi-hat, or any other auxiliary pedal from sliding away. KickStrap attaches directly to your drum throne base with a heavy-duty hook and to your kit via a front-end clip. It also features an adjustable strap for ensuring a secure connection. And unlike the aforementioned rugs, the KickStrap's diminutive size makes it easy to fit in your stick bag or even your pocket. Sweetwater drummers bid you to pull the rug out from under your kit and try a KickStrap Pedal Anchor instead!

How it works
The KickStrap couldn't be easier to use. First, attach the clip to the front of your kick drum, hi-hat, or auxiliary pedal. Next, attach the heavy-duty hook around the base of your drum throne. Then, adjust the strap to the length you prefer. Finally, get on with the show!
You take the High Rise, and I'll take the Low Rise
The KickStrap currently comes in two versions: High Rise and Low Rise. The High Rise version is intended for use with pedals that are approximately 1/2-inch thick at the front of the pedal (directly underneath the hoop clamp), such as TAMA Iron Cobras, DW 9000s, and others. On the other foot, the Low Rise version works with pedals that have a thinner profile and an approximate 1/4-inch thickness at the front, like standard Pearl and TAMA pedals, Mapex, Trick, Axis, Alesis, and more.
Note: Please consult your Sweetwater Sales Engineer to ensure you select the KickStrap version that is best for you and your pedals.
