Following the release of its bass drum pedal dock for 22˝ bass drums in early 2015, Burns Engineering president and Bass Plate inventor Nick Burns has announced the arrival the BP-20— a new model of the advanced drum accessory for 20˝ bass drums.
Like the original BP-22 model, the new Bass Plate fits both 8 and 10 lug bass drums. The docking device is designed to improve the sound, protect the hoop and increase the stability of bass drums. It also provides the added benefit of lateral pedal positioning and is the only after-market docking device that quickly, safely and securely attaches directly to the drum.
Bass Plates are currently used by many of the world’s leading drummers, are compatible with most popular bass drum pedals and carry a suggested retail of $69.99. (A list of compatible pedals is available online at www.bass-plate.com.)
